Hi miauuu,

What I'd really love to see is the ability to copy paste material trees like this between different max files or, as a workaround, simultaneously opened max sessions, provided the exact layout and position of nodes is preserved. Do you think that would be possible with this or a slight modification? E.g. saving the layout to an intermediate file.

Although I have to add that there doesn't seem to be a lot of need for this in general:

Hi, Noren!

Yes, this seems doable. I have to finish another tool first, then I will see what I can do to add your idea do the SlateMaterialCloner.

Awesome! And no pressure.
