Material override in Eevee please!

Eevee doesn’t have material override option as Cycles does, which can be useful in viewing and showing models and lighting in a scene in custom clay material, or in making breakdowns and wireframes. There is a community add-on called ‘Eevee Materials Override’ on GitHub to do that, but it doesn’t show up in Sidebar (or N panel) as shown in its demo video on YouTube, at least on my Linux system. But it would be nice and more useful if Eevee has it as a built-in option just like Cycles.

Thanks!

It should be part of the Eevee choices. It should not require an Addon, which may/may not be updated with each shift in the Blender landscape.

If you have an issue with the addon, then contact the addon developer to fix it. Especially if it's a paid one.

* @-L0Lock- * But it would be nice and streamline the workflow if Eevee has this as a built-in feature. And as Cycles has this feature, it shouldn't be hard for developers to implement it in Eevee.

* @lalitb.cgartist * Sure, but in the meantime don't hesitate to report the bug on the addon's github 😉
