Yes.  In object maker you can type in the mesh thing "FlatPlane.mesh" and it comes up with a tiny image half buried in the ground.  This can be changed to a picture you can draw in like, MS paint or photoshop and put the picture in "my_objects" folder.  To apply it to the mesh i use the "material" method.
Now in the objects folder, you might find a folder with "planes" and stuff.  This is where i sourced the material basics, if you need a better explanation i can so that later.

They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

If you're adding a plane to a sign, make sure the image you're using is a PNG image and change the 'jpg' somewhere in the .material file to 'png'.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.
