material-maker VS godot-manager

Looks similar to Material Maker that works on Linux. https://github.com/RodZill4/material-maker

Material Maker. A procedural textures authoring and 3D model painting tool. Opensource. https://github.com/RodZill4/material-maker

Material Maker for example, it's shader-based and I think it makes sense to use Godot. I also made shader-making tool, it's meant for games and if I use Godot that should make it integrate well.

Procedural materials are either created in the Game engine directly, or with Tools like Adobe Substance Designer or Material Maker (free and open source, made with Godot). Material Maker exports directly to the Godot ready format .tres. Check out u/Arnklit youtube channel for a short playlist on Material Maker. If texture painting in Blender is too cumbersome for you, most game artists probably would use Adobes Substance Painter for texture painting. ArmorPaint is a Substance Painter alternative you can built yourself from source if you want to use it for free.

Standalone applications: MaterialMaker, Pixelorama, Lorien (disclaimer: i'm the author)

There is https://github.com/RodZill4/material-maker which uses it for GUI so why not?

Material Maker (Procedural Material Authoring)

Like Scale X and Scale Y in your case, some parameters could be transformed into inputs "out of the box" by Material Maker per user request. I made a proposal to to this https://github.com/RodZill4/material-maker/issues/178

It is similar to projects like Hourglass (https://hourglass.jwestman.net/) and Godot Manager (https://github.com/eumario/godot-manager)

You'll simply need both Godot versions. If you want better organization for your Godot versions than your filesystem, there are some community-made tools such as Godot Manager and Godot Version Manager.

The newest version of Godot Manager is available for download. This release was mostly a bug fix release, but did implement a few requested features into the mix, to help improve things. Feel free to check it out at the various download locations. https://github.com/eumario/godot-manager or https://eumario.itch.io/godot-manager.

It has been a long 6 month cycle, but 0.2.0 of Godot Manager, is finally Released. You can learn more about this release here, and you can look at the Changelog here. Enjoy!

I personally think that the ultimate solution would be to have a better project manager that lets you easily choose templates when creating a new project. Ever since I started using godot manager I've been wondering why we don't have its features by default. With it I have a template that is closer to what unreal offers, with high quality setting enabled and some prototype textures already imported. It makes the experience a whole lot nicer.

I'm assuming you are talking about godot-manager? I've actually chatted with the creator about a possible integration.

You can add Godot Manager to that list: https://eumario.itch.io/godot-manager / https://github.com/eumario/godot-manager

Anyway, the default launcher is good but kinda slow. This one lets you manage Godot versions when upgrades come out, downloads from GitHub releases so faster than whatever their default provider is, and it’s actually built with the engine (with c#!): https://eumario.itch.io/godot-manager Pay what you want ($0) or grab the executable from their GitHub repo!

You could always open an issue! https://github.com/eumario/godot-manager

The Godot Editor and Project Manager is built with Godot API, on a C++ level. I am developing Godot Manager, which utilizes Godot and C# to do a Project Manager and Engine Version Manager for Godot, similar in style to Unity Hub.
