The aim of the product is to give you simple, reliable tools for quickly and beautifully have great thumbnails of your materials.
Just add it to your project, load the level, select your material and save all the pictures.

After bringing you a better usability with v1.1 I already planned some of the objectives for v1.2 and beyond with the main focus on more sample meshes in order to cover many possible use cases.
In this case, you will get additional scenes for:

  • Terrain (not plain) materials
  • Fabric materials
  • Dirt/Grunge materials
  • Glass/Transparent materials

Please follow the development in the Trello link above and feel free to write here any issue, critique and request you might have regarding the Materials Showcase product.

Cheers
