Storing Materials

This section explains how to save your presets and original material creations.

  1. Select an object in your scene that has the material you want to save.
  2. Open the Sanctus Vault panel in the viewport by pressing N. Then, switch to the Store tab.
  3. Name: Enter a descriptive name for your preset (e.g., "Rusty Metal - Darker").

  4. Category: Choose an existing category from the dropdown menu, or type a new name to create a new category.

  5. Thumbnail: Configure the thumbnail for your material.

    Automatically generate a high-quality preview. You can select a dummy shape to use as the basis for the thumbnail:

    • Sphere
    • Cloth
    • Surface
    • Liquid

    Pro Tip

    Check the "Transparent / Glass" option if your material is transmissive/transparent. This will improve the lighting in the generated thumbnail.

    Load your own image file to use as the thumbnail. The recommended resolution is 512x512 pixels.

  6. Click Store in Vault to save the material to your library.
