    This is so much more than just a library of materials. Even though the materials are excellent, you also get a powerful decal system, dead easy baking and a material editor - who knows what they will add next !
    When you download it you will receive two zip files (for your version of Blender), one is the plugin itself and the other is the asset library. With the later, just create a folder somewhere (a separate SSD would be idea but not essential), unzip the library file and place the blend file and the cat txt file in this folder and then point to the folder in Blender's Asset Libraries within the File Path section of Preferences.
    You will then see the extra assets in the assets window of Blender.
    I have been using the free Lite version for a few months, but now I am looking forward to delving deeper into this materials behemoth !

    Very nice library of procedural materials and very patient support from the author!

    One tip for new users: open the sample blender file and note there are 3 different scenes:
    One for fabric, one for Flooring, and one for everthing else.
    The lighting and settings in this sample blender file were much better than my blender defaults, and the PERFORMANCE settings in the sample blender file were easily 2x faster than the default blender settings, so it's well worth spending some time in the sample.

    This is an incredibly useful addon, especially when combined with an HDRI environment. Materials work great out of the box, but can also be modified and combined in the shader view in more complex ways. A lot of thought was obviously put into the breakpoint between simplicity and accounting for exotic cases and unusual effects. It's given me a big edge as a hard surface concept artist in that I can present and iterate much more polished pieces earlier in the pipeline than had been typical for many years. I also lets me create finished stills and footage in a remarkably short timeframe without having to unwrap things or go into Substance. It's extensions of the Blender platform like this that make its future so bright.

    I just installed this eventhough I bought the add-on long ago. I have to say I am truly amazed by what the developer has done. I must say this goes to the top of my list of procedural material addons. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

    This is a great set of Materials, Geo-Nodes, and decals! He has gone out of his way to make everything simple and easy to understand! Plus, he updates his product regularly! You would be foolish not to get this add-on!
