The record

Purpose: Material Maker is an open-source procedural materials authoring tool for creating PBR materials with node graphs and exporting them for game engines and movie assets.
3D painting: It includes an experimental tool for texturing 3D models with procedural brushes.
Node system: The official site says more than 200 nodes are available, and users can create nodes by grouping existing nodes or describing them in GLSL.
Engine integrations: Materials can be exported for Godot, Unity and Unreal Engine.
Unreal limitation: For Unreal Engine 4, manual material setup is required; for Unreal Engine 5, Material Maker generates a Python script that must be executed in Unreal.
Material types: Supported material types include static PBR, dynamic PBR, raymarching and dynamic unlit materials.
Community library: The website provides a community library containing hundreds of materials, nodes, brushes and environments.
Asset sharing: Users can import website assets without logging in, but must create an account and log in to share materials, nodes, environments or brushes.
Export and preview: The tool provides 2D and 3D previews, can export images or spritesheets, and can load custom 3D models in OBJ format.
Support: Users can report bugs or suggest features on GitHub and ask questions in the Discord server.
Security and privacy: The site says it may collect email addresses, uses cookies and Google Analytics, and cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.
