Where Does Material Maker Store Projects?
Material Maker keeps node graphs in files you save, with the library and settings in the config dir.
Last updated
Material Maker graphs live in files you save yourself. Nodes, parameters, and comments resolve to the project file; exported texture sets are deliverables.
The built-in material library and preferences live in the standard config directory per platform. Reinstalling loses the library cache but never saved graphs. Export for engines, archive the graph, and the workflow answers itself.
Where Material Maker stores this, by platform
Project files (location you choose at save)
Material graphs in files you choose. Export texture sets for engines, but archive the graph file as the editable original.
~/.config/material_maker/
Library cache and preferences under the config home. Graphs live wherever saved; this folder holds settings only. If this folder is absent, look for a Material Maker data folder under Documents instead; install flavors vary.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep an editable copy of my material?
Save the material graph file first, then export textures. The graph stays editable while exports serve engines; keep both, since re-editing from an export loses the nodes.
