”Save To” gives you three “quick save” slots to save your current material settings to easily transfer them to another atom.
This saves settings from all three material panels: Params, Shader and Textures. They will stay in memory during scene changes or a hard reset however be lost when VaM is closed.

”Restore From” This is where you will restore the material settings from the channel you saved them to in the “Save To” box.

“Render Queue” This setting affects the layer that the selected material is drawn on when the game engine renders your scene.
You can use this to manually assign which object is rendered first or last within your scene.
Normally you would only need to use this when working with multiple transparent objects.

”Hide Material” Disables the current material from being rendered hiding the object. This is not the same as turning the Atom Off. Collision and any physics settings are still active when hiding by material.
