Material Maker 1.4? Seriously? An update to a free material authoring app that claims to rival high-end tools like Substance 3D Designer? It’s time to call out the obvious—why are we still celebrating half-baked solutions in a world that demands perfection? The latest update is supposed to bring new features we’ve all been waiting for. But let’s be honest: if you’ve been in this game long enough, you know that updates without a major leap in functionality are just smoke and mirrors. I’ve wasted countless hours trying to make this tool work for me, only to be let down time and again. Don’t fall for the hype. Demand better from open-source tools. If we want real innovation, we must hold these developers accountable! https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/10/material-maker-1-4/ #MaterialMaker #OpenSource #3DDesign #TechCritique #DemandBetter
