[nanosph (xXKing_BaconXx)]

It can work in roblox client but it in beta as they will launch very improved version for client

Would be really nice for the MaterialPattern Organic to work with regular parts. I hate being able to see repetition on longer, curved roads.

How do i get the og material picker, the material manager is good but dont replace the material picker with it

[Schnogrind (Austism)]

occasionally some of the materials get “reset” and just display a flat texture instead

the materialvarient works fine when set to other images but whenever you set it back to the same image it goes flat again.
image works fine as a decal.
even once rejoining the place the material stays stuck flat until you completely restart studio

This way of uploading materials is slightly less efficient now. They released the new material manager here:

Upgraded Materials, Material Manager, and More!

Update - June 2 Hello developers! We are excited to share with you another update for the Material Service Beta. This update has three major components: Built-in Material Upgrade - the long awaited new materials are ready to use, via opt-in. Material Manager - the user-friendly way to create, edit, and manage all of your materials. General Improvements - improvements based on your feedback to Material Service. These are the last major new features we intend to add to this project. We’…

It has all the abilities of creating custom materials and such.

Hello , so I finally made a post about the feature i was talking about ( its a little bit of-topic because it talks a lot about surface apperance, but its stil has a lot to do with materialvariants)
it would be nice to help me adress this to the roblox staff and maybe make these dreams real, I look forward to the possibility that this feature will bring to roblox studio

Ability to have a material visible underneath a surface apperance that is set to overlay

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to customize my meshes without uploading a lot of textures, I want to have the ability to customize the underlaying texture under the surface apperance. the problem when i try to change the material of the parts of the mesh that is is actually transparent : [image] when i set it to transperency the mesh becomes transparent, and when i set it to overlay it only gets the color and not the material what i want to achieve: [image] the surface a…

Thank you for your help in this matter

Will there ever be parallax mapping?

[Sketch_RO (Artocrates)]

i hope it but i think its too expensive for rendering

[Sketch_RO (Artocrates)]

Custom materials are still broken

[SillyMeTimbers (Silly)]

I would wait a few days. If were lucky they will most likely roll out a patch this Thursday.

[Skywalker_SW (Sky)]

well that didnt happen

could they please release this

[SillyMeTimbers (Silly)]

Last time i checked it was resolved, if you have any future issues regarding that you can add on to this

UGC Materials Rendering Issue

It should have been fixed now. Let me know if you still have issues.

[Skywalker_SW (Sky)]

it’s not in the main engine though right? it works in studio but i’d really like to use this for my games now

[SillyMeTimbers (Silly)]

Correct, none of materialservice has been released into live games.

Regarding this, I really recommend making Terrain Colours and Material Service to be merged together. Let’s say I want to change a color of the actual Material that I’ve created. I don’t really want to go to Terrain and check it’s properties, it’s way more efficient to create similar properties for that Material.

I really liked the old material button where you could just select from a dropdown, rather than the now complicated UI. I think it would be good to have both because I used the dropdown a hell of a lot

[Sketch_RO (Artocrates)]

its not complicated anymore, they updated it

[tictac67]

I still prefered the speed of just having a quick dropdown for simple material changes, rather than what it is now
