Save your material setting as Material Template files can greatly save your time when you want to apply the same material to different targets.
Suppose we want to have the same neon glow effect (using the Glow channel) applied on several models, it is really tedious to add keys of the glow texture one model after another.
The look before adjusting textures.
Pick the texture for creating glowing effect of the model.
Add keys to create shimmering effect of glowing.
Click Save Material button to save the settings and Keys.
Select another model and pick its texture for glowing effect.
Click Load Material button to load the file saved in step 3.
