Material sandbox should allow selecting filamat files.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sorta? right now material sandbox only allows playing with material properties, but would be nice as a way to test materials without having to setup a demo project.
Describe the solution you'd like A toggle button to switch between what we currently have, and custom material selection which would use a file dialog.
Describe alternatives you've considered Could also be cool to have a text editor where you can just type in and compile the shader? would need to call on matc to do that.
I would implement this myself but I only use the webversion of filament and don't have the build environment setup.
This would also need to generate a UI to set the parameters of the material, and there could be tricky ones like textures. Another way to test materials is to use matdbg, which allows realtime editing.

What is matdbg? Is their a tool that does what I want already?
On the point about the UI. I wouldn't say that is strictly necessary, would be ideal but wouldn't need to exist in the first iteration of the feature.
