Add Button

Creates a new material. The user gets to choose the type of material (shader) he wants to create: standard, color, PBR or unlittexture.

Remove Button

Removes the currently selected material from the scene. All objects in the scene that used the removed material will appear gray in the viewport, meaning they will not have any material applied (and will be exported without material).

Materials Settings

Foe a selected material, the Edit Patterns button opens a new menu, allowing the user to modify material/shader type (standard, color, PBR or unlittexture), or create its own.
