Welcome to the Mari 4.5 Beta.

Hello, Mari users! We're excited to share the Beta versions of our upcoming Mari 4.5v1 release for you to try out and provide feedback on.* As these builds are Betas, we strongly recommend and advise you not to use it in a production environment.

Introducing Mari's Material System

At Foundry we have been developing a Material System within Mari. We’d like you to explore all the new features we’ve added and updates we’ve made. 

Highlights of Mari 4.5 include:

• Materials: Material Nodes can now be created and edited in the Mari Node graph. These Materials can be shared between projects using the Shelf palette. Material layers are also supported and  allow users to paint with their materials in the layer stack.  For full details, please see the Mari Material Layers Roundtrip** video.

• Material Ingest Tool: Image files on disk can be batch imported as materials using the Mari Material Ingest Tool. For full details, please see the Mari Material Ingest Tool video.

For full details of updates, features, and known issues in this Beta, see the release notes:

• Beta 1 - Mari 4.5v1.000614b
• Beta 2 - Mari 4.5v1.000714b
• Beta 3 - Mari 4.5v1.000844b
• Beta 4 - Mari 4.5v1.000892b

To access these Betas you need to own Mari and be on current maintenance.
