✨ NAME ✨

qtplasmac-materials — Create a plasma materials file.

like... that's the whole job. it makes you a materials file. slay. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

qtplasmac-materials

no options, no arguments, no flags, nothing. just run it. it's giving main character energy with zero drama. 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so qtplasmac-materials is a Python script whose entire purpose in life is creating a materials file. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

and there are two ways to make that file happen:

• by text entry — you literally type the stuff in yourself, bestie 📝
• by importing text from a CAM tool file — let the CAM tool do the talking and just scoop the text in 🧚

both routes end at the same place: a materials file. iconic. 🌈
