How to create .mat files (for materials)? (simple)

[Kilajuk]

Hey guys,

I'm pretty much a complete noob, I just started modeling yesterday for fun, so hopefully this is an easy question.

I'm having issues exporting my models from Wings to Unity. Basically, I have no problems exporting the objects themselves, but my colors (materials) often don't stick and unity just loads grey/plain copies instead. I FINALLY figured out yesterday that I need all the materials to be in .mat format and in the same place as my OBJ files for Unity to recognize them all as assets, and then it loaded them all with color and everything worked for the models I made yesterday, but now I'm having problems making new .mat files in the first place. Every time I export (in OBJ format) all I'm getting is the OBJ file and a .mtl file which I don't think Unity can read, and I guess I forgot(?) how I made the .mat files for my other models' materials yesterday in the first place?

If someone could let me know how to save my materials so that they show up as .mat files with accompanying .mat.meta files that would be awesome They're just colors that I made via [right click] -> [Material...] and I can view them all in Wings via [Window] -> [Outliner]

Thanks and hopefully this is a dumb/easy question!
