    I've been messing around with probuilder, and I'd like to change the color of a material. Like the white smooth material, I would like to change it to blue. Or some other color.

    Is it possible? Or how do I add my own custom materials to probuilder?


    Thanks for any help on this.

    Hi! You can't change the default ProBuilder material, because it is part of the read-only package. However, you can use any material at all, just create it as usual and drag-drop to the PB object. Nothing special there, it's just a mesh :)

    Hope that helps!

    When I use pro builder the default color of the cubes is brown for me which I don't know how to change and my brothers is white. Do you know how to change the default color?

    The brown color in the default cube material is normally caused by the lighting not being generated. You can manually trigger the lighting generation or toggle the auto generation at the bottom of the Lighting Window (menu: Window > Rendering > Lighting).

    Well there is a way. Just make a material and select ProBuilder's Standard Vertex Color shader. Done. Hope this helps!

    You can also create a normal (or URP/HDRP) material, and use the ProBuilder image (GridBox_Default.png) in the BaseMap (albedo) property and change the colour to your liking.
