Authoring stage — create, assign, query, and manage Lambert / Blinn / surface shader networks. Use for ad-hoc material assignment. For reusable presets and library workflows use maya-material-library; for final rendering use maya-render.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# maya-materials (Authoring stage)

Build and assign basic shader networks. Eight scripts cover the typical
"create a Lambert and assign it" loop while keeping `inputSchema`
validation in place.

`set_material_attribute` includes Maya 2022 / MtoA compatibility aliases for
Arnold `aiStandardSurface`, such as accepting `metallic` and writing
`metalness` when that is the available attribute.

`assign_material` accepts at most 256 targets and reads shading-set membership
back for every resolved object before reporting success.

For sharing material presets across assets / shots, use
`maya-material-library`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-materials@sha256:69e5dde4b50835a2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.851e892, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
