Could it be possible to make subfolders in Materials and in ISF ?

Heelo !

there is a technical reason why your shader files need to be at the root of your material folder.
But for your "imported" textures you can use subfolders as long as you adapt your path accordingly in your header.
The material called "Simplex Gradient" can be a good start to test that.

thanks for your help on testing our beta !

I would like to suggest to add an RESET button in the FX area. Besides that, is looking / working awesome to the moment

Beta-testing is available only to licensed users.

Together with the official release, we will release a demo version of MadMapper 3.0 for everybody to try.

Do you have an estimated date for release? is there any way to buy and licence for 3.0 now and get access to the Beta version for now. I don't want to have to buy madmapper 2 for mac and then buy an upgrade for the windows version when it comes out.
