How do I get the MaterialVariants for the 2022 materials?

The ones I find on the toolbox don’t match the current ones, I believe the 2022 materials were changed later on. Does anybody have the new materials as MaterialVariants?

The only way I know how you could do this is to somehow find the IDs of the old materials and paste them into the material manager. This’d be a lot of work though, you’ll need to find the normal maps and the color maps of all of them.

I found the IDs for the new materials, however they still don’t match the normal one for some reason.

The coloring is also different (for example with the brick material).

How about MaterialService>Use2022Materials?

Not an option because my game has multiple maps, some need the property disabled and one needs it enabled. Use2022Materials is non-scriptable so I can’t toggle it through a script.

You could put each map in a separate place

The map system is meant to work with a single place, not teleporting to multiple places for every map.

do you think it would be easier to find the other materials and keep Use2022Materials on?

Some of the old materials are impossible to recreate as material variants, for example the concrete material has a detail layer in its normal map which isn’t a feature for custom materials for some reason

This source has all of the materials’ Roblox IDs and data if you scroll to the bottom section. Materials | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Unfortunately, for something like pebble or brick, you can’t get it exact because Roblox has this weird exception that only allows the default materials to have a grout color that is unchangeable.

(Left - custom material variant using Roblox’s texture IDs, Right - Roblox default pebble material)

I might be wrong and there could be a way to make your own custom material with grout you can’t change but to my knowledge there isn’t

Yeah…
But thats only a problem if OP intends on using the ones that cant be recreated…

This doesn’t seem to be possible with normal MaterialVariants as roblox’s materials have parts that aren’t affected by the part’s color. Thanks for the help though.
