Material Tools

Video Description of Material Tools

Material Tools is a Unity 3D Addon for editing PBR (Physically Based Rendering) Materials and textures. It can be downloaded for free here, in the Unity Asset Store.

Material Tools is a suite of tools that assist in making composite materials and textures from multiple other materials or textures, baking decals onto materials, and correcting material textures for more realistic results. It has various other practical uses. Material Tools consists of seven programs listed below that can be found in the “Tools” drop-down menu of Unity 3D.

The most important of these programs is Mask and Overlay. The rest of the programs preform minor image edits, but are useful.

Unity also has a light theme. Here is the light-colored version of these windows.
