Development pipelines for Materials

There're two basic pipelines to work with materials in this project, but you can follow your own pipeline of course.

Materials Sync Pipeline

In this pipeline you should set material import mode to 3 in vmf.config.json and reenable the GodotVMF plugin in the project settings. This mode means that every material you created inside the materials folder will be converted into VMT/VTF and placed inside hammer_project materials to Hammer++ be able to see them in the texture browser. Sometimes Hammer++ doesn't show new materials and in this case you should restart Hammer++.

Default Pipeline

This pipeline means that you should create VMT/VTF textures and place them into hammer_project and during map import the importer will convert all used VMT/VTF into Godot material. Once the materials was import you can set them up further by adding displacement/ambient occlusion/detail/roughness/metallic map.
