Material Maker is a free, open-source, node-based tool used to create textures and materials for 3D models. Built on the Godot Engine, it allows artists and developers to create PBR (Physically-Based Rendering) materials using a flexible and intuitive interface. Material Maker is designed to help generate procedural textures quickly, making it a great tool for game developers, 3D artists, and hobbyists.
