	As a quick check, open up the material file in your favourite voxel editor and check if it was what you wanted before continuing. As a note this new file is very large. Some editors may have troubles with either displaying the entire file, such as MagicaVoxel, or may appear to not run smoothly. We recommend Qubicle when modifying these Material tiles as they handle them fairly well.
