Yep, good luck to whoever wishes to do that

We already have PBR water that splashes and stuff through SurfaceAppearance but I canā€™t find the post

that is true but textures cannot follow Uv-maps sadly

Could we have the feature to create our own material instead of editing the default ones?

We should be able to also make our own slots as well incase we run out of Materials. This will solve so many of my problems.

Terrain may be a bit tricky to add custom materials to since it has properties unique to itself like random tilling and blending.

So are you talking about this?

Or are you talking about changing the overall look of water, because Iā€™ve managed to do that and it wasnā€™t easy.

Hereā€™s how I did it:

You and me brother.
It would be better, and they could even keep the current materials as presets.
There was and old post explaining the difficulties. (Keyword: old)
But there are some developer discussion threads about this too.

Some points i donā€™t fully agree with, but times might have changed enough.
Continue in dm? (with time delays)

While this was fun at the end, but to create all the materials it took years and lotā€™s of storageā€¦ :pensive:

Is there any chance we will be able to stop the material offset from being random? I am trying to make tiles but they keep being cut off.

This bursts of updates, as someone who was using this platform for architecture models, is just such useful stuff. I finally donā€™t have to use hundreds of textures that wonā€™t look as detailed as proper materials! Thank you for all this <3

Yep, they should add a stud offset like they did with the textures

#285

Would be nice as that would then allow for custom (or classic) Stud designsā€¦

Someone did it but it took them ages, this will be easier (I hope)
