Hi!

I made my first metal looking material today and came to think about a function I would like to have integrated.

The main thing I'm asking for is to have an option to change the Material preview image.
That way you can set a rendered image there instead of the one that comes from the preview window itself.
Some of the points below may not make sense, but the main request remains



1. A flap or separate window to load pictures into.
Lets say you're creating a material and rendering it out with 4 different hdri images. The function I'm looking for is a way to store them into the
material to be able and take a look at them in the future.
A way of remembering the impact of the environment.

2. Or simply add 1,2,3 for the same purpose as for my point 1. Swap the material preview window image to other stored material pictures.

3. A way to import an rendered image to the preview material window.


EDIT: Ohhh I forgot, a (Note:) section for each material would be great too. (To make a mark if materials are being shared or just for your own sake)

LOL, thats weird, I just sign up and came to this section to ask for some of the features you just ask
Most of the times I don't remember what I ve change in the material editor to make a material, after few hours of testing I don't remember which i liked the most, it will be nice if we got some kind of save material and a slider maybe to see the progress and then decide what you want.

haha, I'm glad you'd shared my opinion in this matter

I agree!!!
