NetworkMaterialCreate
The NetworkMaterialCreate node has been designed to contain your material network. The node features a left-to-right workflow and a new shading node design, which enables you to work more efficiently, making building and editing materials as quick and simple as possible. It holds the function of the NetworkMaterial node as well as the NetworkMaterialInterfaceControls node.
