Material Maker

Open-source procedural texture and material generator

open-source Solo-dev friendly

Material Maker is a free, open-source tool for creating procedural PBR materials using a node-based editor. Built with Godot Engine, it generates textures for albedo, normal, roughness, and more. A strong free alternative to Substance Designer.

Highlights

  • + Built with Godot — integrates well with the Godot ecosystem

Limitations

  • Smaller node library than Substance Designer
  • Less documentation and community resources
  • Some advanced material techniques are harder to replicate
