I really like this update. It gives us more to work with when we’re applying base materials ( not custom ones ), and i like the look of these new materials, in general.

It has been years since we have had new material variants.
Also, having more of these material variants will greatly enhance objects visually and give us a wider approach to making dynamic footstep sounds using Humanoid.FloorMaterial and raycasts.
Also, raycasts produce a more realistic effect, while ‘Humanoid.FloorMaterial’ is a simpler and more efficient solution.
With the newly released ‘SurfaceAppearance.Color’, I am hoping to see more elements like this in the future to give us a more dynamic and realistic approach to making games.
And also, in the future, I hope to see more materials and more options for Surface Appearance customization.
I love this update!

Hey! I have a good suggestion, why dont you add shiny material?
Just like the post here: New Material For Shiny Objects
If your team adds this material, that would be the best your team!

I can respect the limitations with PBR Materials not posessing some of the same qualities as the base materials (Primarily the extra “hue” layer which doesn’t change in relation to partcolor) so long as we’re receiving extra base materials that cover textures that were previously left up to us for interpretation.
Keep these kinds of improvements to studio going, please!!

Already commented about loving the addition of new materials by default, but I have found a couple materials I’d like modified, how have the ability to do so.
The Ceramic Tiles below do not scale the texture in a way that it’s connected around the edges, had this been any other non-brick or uniform material, the randomness would be appreciated, but being a “man made” material, having the texture be repeatable around the edges would be nice, or the ability to change the scale of the texture to accommodate this would be a nice touch, not just for this material.
Also mentioned above, the persistent yellow tint of the Roof Shingles doesn’t fit the overall texture, adding the ability to tint the base material colormap would be appreciated as well.

Is it required to use the 2022 materials option to get these or are they available alongside the older material set?

I like the new materials, but the cardboard is rather unappealing. It may just be me not liking grunge but as seen in the image, it makes packaging that should be shiny and new look like its been sitting in storage for a number of years, which is fine if your trying to do a lived-in environment, but I wish you guys would add a clean cardboard material as well. Other than that the other materials feel and look great.
Also while we are at it, id like to have a base wood that is finer grain.
And for those who are gonna say “Well just import your own material.” I do often, but I make free models as shown here in that pic, and sometimes Id like to use packaging and stuff without the need of custom materials, surface appearances, etc…
