Unity Quick Material Creator

One-click solution to convert non-editable "ghost" materials from imported models into fully editable materials. Right-click any grayed-out material to instantly create, copy properties, and replace it - even with multiple objects selected.

The Solution

This tool adds a simple "Create New Material From This" option directly in the material's context menu. One click will:

• Create a new material with the Standard shader
• Copy the original texture and color settings
• Save it in your Materials folder
• Automatically replace the original material
• Works with multiple selected objects!

Installation

• Create an Editor folder anywhere in your Unity project if you don't have one
• Download MaterialMenuExtension.cs and place it in the Editor folder
• The option will appear in your material context menus

Usage

• Select one or more objects with imported/existing materials
• In the Inspector, right-click on the material you want to make editable
• Select "Create New Material From This"

The script can create a new material and automatically replace it on all selected objects that use that material.
