What is Mesh Materializer?

For any 3D modeler that needs to wrap an object onto the surface of another object like a material, using a UV texture map as a guide.

The add-on handles the complexity of doing this for you in a non-destructive way by adding a unique modifier:

Simple right-click menu option performs the operation in one go.
The add-on maps the X direction of the object to the U direction of the UV map and the Y direction to the V direction.
Source object UVs and materials are transferred to the newly created object.
Use in combination with any other modifiers.
Control the height of the projected object above the Target Object.
Position, scale and rotate the object on top of the Target Object.
Update the original objects and the result will change in realtime.
A Preview Mode helps you position the object by unwrapping the Target Object’s UVs.
Creates a regular Blender object that can be exported or edited once its modifiers are applied.
Underlying objects are not affected.

This add-on assumes experience with UV Maps.
The add-on does not currently work with overlapping UVs.
Check out the UV Squares add-on if you need to quickly turn your UVs into grids.
