Generate & share a code for a material.
The idea would be to easily share a complex nodetrees with a code that is generated and that can be easily copy & pasted into Blender.
There is no uploading/downloading of files involved. (Image textures not included)

I have created such an add-on, avaiable from GitHub for free. Let me know if it has issues with your materials, it works for mine: github.com/Gatada/JB-MaterialSharing
Its possible to copy and paste objects from 2 Blender files, in object tree With the object you get the material as well. Though it requires running blender twice. Some kind of personal library option would be nice. One that would take a folder where you could store materials. upvoted
* @peter.boos * In ue4, you easily can copy the shader of the nodetree. In blender this could be text that encapsule all nodes and connexion, location, values, to easily copy and paste it to somewhere else (even web like armory3D does : forums.armory3d.org/t/embed-logic-nodes-on-the-web/2491 )
