✦ Overview

Material Editor Lite is a custom-built material editor for Starfield designed to make working with .mat files simple, fast, and intuitive. It provides full editing support for the most common shader models—Standard1Layer, StandardTwoSided1Layer, and ColorEmissive—while allowing you to safely open other shader types in read-only mode. With built-in batch texture conversion (powered by texconv.exe), dynamic shader switching, integrated color picker, and a live 3D preview with customizable backgrounds, this tool streamlines your material editing workflow and reduces the need to constantly switch back to the Creation Kit for basic material adjustments.
