Submaterial and Advanced Material 2! - thomas23827 - 12-06-2022
Sub-material is a tool that I use almost everyday when playing on sandbox or single-player. It allows for a brand new level of creativity that you cannot reach with regular material. For instance, with props such as the base GMod Metal props, you can use it to create unique windows or wainscotting, turn something the chain link fence opaque without ruining the entire look of it. There are many other quality of life examples that I could get into, but just don't have the time to do so.
Lastly, I believe Advance Material 2 should be added. Advance Material 2 allows rotation along with a few new features I have yet to try, but the rotation of textures has proven useful on many occasions. For instance, If you need to create a thin wall with the brick texture using one of the plastic parts, The bricks will be arranged vertically, but if you use advance material, you can set the brick orientation to be horizontal.
I hope you all see the use of these two add-ons, and have a nice day!
