What’s up fellow Tech Artists! 
It’s my pleasure to share with you a personal project of mine that I’ve been selfishly using for about 6 months and finally had the time to polish it up a bit for public release. It’s a custom photoshop plugin for material painting or just “Materialing”.
The core pillar of Materialing is complete non-destructiveness and ease of reuse. The plugin empowers You to create extremely reusable material presets and layer them for production of your unique assets. The material layer masks are always there which gives you an option to replace a material layer at any given time while keeping the mask and automatically updating all the textures that compose a complex next gen material. On top of that the parent material keeps track of all the assets that ever used it and if at any point in production you decide to update your source material preset * the changes can automatically be propagated across all the usecases. And like that wasn’t enough you are free to tweak your material presets in your unique assets .PSD(albedo hue shift for example) and your changes will be saved even if you choose to reimport or update your material preset.
Materialing aims to make reuse easy enough that people actually do it.
It is also absolutely free

I’m also sharing a small library of material presets that I hope might come in handy:
I’d be happy if you can find as much use for it as I did. If you have any suggestions, ideas, feedback they’ll be strongly appreciated I’m tight on time right now but I very much hope to keep this tool updated and improving to make it better for everyone.
Thanks
