Any plans to add a shiny material?

What I find interesting is that after all this time we still don’t have bark base materials for different tree types. I figured since wood is one of the most used material for trees that we’d quickly have dedicated bark textures for them. Sure we could technically create our own using SurfaceAppearance, but it has limited features like not being able to change the color of the color map in-studio. And even if you could, its not like anyone has access to really good bark textures that people can just use, which is why Its surprising to me that we don’t have base materials for this.
Nonetheless, its always great to get more base materials!

This is a great update but it’d also be wonderful to get a huge glass update with support to render beams with transparency, adjustable refraction and other stuff community have suggested later on as well.

With the release of new base materials, will we eventually see more material customization for water terrain in the near future?

More options for materials is great. I hope this isn’t the end of new materials. I’m always down for more customization

Would like to see unsightly color addition like this toned down significantly.
I still stand by us needing to be able to tint the untinted portion of a material. There is a color map available for built in materials that controls untintable parts of materials, we should be able to influence this somehow. E.g. rust on copper is green, or brick grout doesn’t always have to be grey, etc.

Pretty great!!! now, on a bit more separate topic but also regarding materials, could we ever get per-surface textures? pretty much like terrain details, but for normal base parts. This would be super useful for not needing to use separate parts if you want to have a different material on certain surfaces

This is cool, will you be rolling out more materials in the future?

Wonderful update! I’m kind of envy how roblox can flex the fact that they can create materials with colors that stay consistent regardless of the part’s color. I’m hoping we can do this too with custom materials in the future…
Examples
full black/0,0,0:
whilte/255,255,255:
blue/0,0,255:
please guys… give us this. i’m sure i’m speaking for more developers out there that this IS needed.
It’s frustrating having to make a material for each individual color i want to make…

This is awesome! Feel like we’ve been missing these for a while.
Of course I could’ve supplied my own leather, rubber, tiles and other materials but it’s nice to see it as default materials in the engine now.

With all of the existing materials along with the addition of the new roofing tiles that need a certain orientation to be realistic, how long until there is a built-in texture flip plugin in Roblox studio?

I absolutely support this feature.
Having some kinda masking feature or color preservation would be super useful.
Currently if you want things like custom brick walls or rusty metal, if you change the color it also changes the color of the rust and everything around the bricks.
This is a much requested feature.

I like the new default materials you guys added so far, especially the carpet one it’s a lot better than the Fabric one. Hopefully, I can use it for my upcoming models!
