Very Advanced Material Editor is a sophisticated tool which allows users to modify a model's Source/VMT (Vanilla game) or import Blender Principled BSDF usda via NVIDIA Omniverse PBRs (RTX-Remix), directly in game in real time. Any sub-material on a prop, ragdoll, NPC or map surface can be fine-tuned to edit any parameters supported by its shader, and de novo generate / edit the texture. The changes have live preview and can be saved for that entity only or every entity using that model. The edits are session-persistent.
I uploaded 400 addons to the community, thank you for your continued support
This tool was designed for the RTX-Remix version of Garry's Mod, but it also works in vanilla without PBR shader.
The tool is available under Spawn Menu -> Tools -> Render -> Advanced Material Editor
