The VMT Editor is an engine tool originally released with the 
Source 2007 engine branch. This tool allows you to edit VMT properties while in-game with via a simplified interface that is both user friendly and real time.

To use it, run your game or mod with -tools -nop4 on the command line and select Material Editor from the Tools menu. This tool is used to edit the material properties with the added advantage of faster, more robust interface than the typical text editor.
Note:This editor supports custom shaders, including ones from the Source Shader Editor!Note: Make sure that sv_lan is set to 1 in the console located in the lower-left corner (sv_lan 1) if your game is MP based.
