Photoshop Materials Not Working

Hey guys!

I'm trying to applying these materials on Photoshop and nothing happens.

It's the first time I'm using this feature and didn't find anything on the internet how to solve this.

Are this feature still available? Because it will be very helpful if still works.

I'm using the latest version of Photoshop.

@jane-e same thing, it keeps creating new smart objects but with no materials applied to it.

Also if you notice in the video when I hover the mouse over the materials it doesn't highlight them. I don't know if it's a bug or something else.

What happens when you don't use a Shape layer?

Applying Materials

Applying a Material to a layer: To apply a material, select one of the material previews in the panel while the layer is selected. This will duplicate the selected layer as a Smart Object with the selected material applied as a Smart Filter. To create additional material layers, select another layer with no materials applied before selecting a preview in the Materials tab.
Applying Materials to Layers with Marquee Selections: If a marquee selection is made on a layer, applying a material to that layer will create a duplicate of the selected layer as a Smart Object with the selected material applied as a Smart Filter and a layer mask created from the marquee selection.
Applying Materials to Text Layers: Applying a material when a text layer is selected will create a new layer over the text as a Smart Object and the selected material applied as a Smart Filter. This layer will be set as a clipping mask to reveal the material only where there is text.
Updating Materials: When a layer with a material is selected, selecting another preview in the Materials tab will replace the material in the selected layer.

Hi Jane, if it's a bug there is a proper channel that I can report this?
