Simple material picker plugin

do you hate the new material manager for taking too much space?
then use my plugin

left click to select a material & apply it to selections
right click to select a material without applying it to selections

What’s wrong with just using the properties window? It does the same thing but without taking up more space on my display?

roblox used to have a material menu that got replaced by the material manager
old one:

sure you can use the properties window but this is meant to replicate the behavior of the old one (change default material, change material on multiple instances)

sadly drop down menus aren’t possible for plugins, but if it was i definitely would do it

This is too similar to this plugin.

and the @gato_todomenso plugin includes custom materials.

Not to be mean or anything, but you can pretty much do this with the material manager:

yeah thats purely coincidental, i originally made this plugin for a friend and i thought it would be cool to put it on the devforum

once again this plugin is just meant to replicate the old material menu

here are the disadvantages of the material manager over this plugin:

  • you can’t change the default material on it
  • it takes wayy too much space
  • the buttons are too big, on mine you can show all the materials without scrolling if you have a 1080p screen (or more)
