A new window to easily twick any material in substance 3D painter.

Hello Substance Fam!

I was wondering that we can have a separate new window like properties panel, you people decide the name. I just wanted to convey the main idea. 

So, nowadays so many people even I create large materials system where we use so many fill layers and effects, I just want a tool (like mask tool) beside the layer by which we can transfer the particular fill layer or the pain layer or any effect into that new window.

In that window we can have some options to edit the sequence of fill layers and effects so that if we share our material file in office or to any other user, then he can directly look into that window and edit the properties rather going into the full material folder. It will be very easy to edit material properties quickly and material folder will also not disturb.

Hope I'll see this feature in future!! 😊

I think I understand what your saying. You want to author a complex substance stack but only want to expose a specific set of attributes to manipulate it?

I might approach this as a "packed" substance. Like bringing it from the material browser it would always be "packed" and only shows the desired list of attributes. Then you could right lick and "unpack" the substance stack and you would get everything as we have it now. This way things stayt small and expose more on demand. Keeping it simple upfront.

I like this idea. It's a useful way to deploy complex substances to a large teams.
