    Absolutely incredible. What a generous price for such a powerful, beautifully crafted and (most importantly) aesthetically beautiful set of materials!

    Love this addon,so easy to use and just gets me getting quick detailed textures on my models ,so I can concentrate on modeling more, while having a workflow that feels strangely like im sketching out an idea and painting than the cluttered mess of nodes and clunky all over the place interface of regular blender,bought this on a sale after useing the lite version for a while and kinda feel like I took advantage as there is soo much in it.big thank you man you made me so very happy xx

    I'm trying the Lite version before buying. So far it looks great with one exception. Does the Lite version not allow the baking options? For example, when I right-click a node there is no options to select the channels to bake.

      Hi Michael. Not sure why it would be an exception the fact that a free addon doesn't have a functionality from the full version. Anyway this is not the case, the baking tool is also free and available on the Lite version. If you want to learn how to use it you can ask for free on my discord and I will be happy to help.

    Super valuable addOn if you need a library of high quality shaders for your models, and now it even has geometry node features. The shaders cover a wide range of material types, with some really uncommon one's that make it stand out from other packs. Very high quality renders and the addOn interface is simple, and intuitive to use, which I really appreciate as some shader interfaces can become overly complicated. As some others have mentioned, if you spend some time checking out the shader networks after applying, you can learn a lot, as well as tweak lots of parameters to get finer control over the results. Just pop open the shader editor and start tweaking numbers and sliders to see what you can get! Very impressed with the frequent updates/additions since I originally purchased and now just getting my head around all the new stuff in 2.1. Super excited to see how this continues to evolve!

    Great, expanding material collection. Great documentation. Carefully, handcrafted quality shaders. I appreciate Sanctus taking his time to name the assets as well as mark the icons etc. specifically to their intended use (Eevee, Cycles, Displacement, etc). Serves not only as an assets collection but also as a source for learning if you take a closer look at how they're built.

      I use this addon a lot and that gives me the user side of the experience. I try to make it as confortable and useful as possible. Thank you very much!

    I purchased the addon a week ago or so and it's incredible the quality of the materials and how easy is to set up them.
    I still haven't tested the "Easy Bake" feature but I will need it for the use inside Luxcore and later apps with UE4.
    Thanks to the materials of this addon I have saved a looot of time and polygons.
    For instance, the asphalt material is awesome, and I'm using it animated with rain.
    And I never get the worn effect, which is awesome with this addon.
    And the buildings section is awesome for flloring .
    And the panelling section the same: how many polygons and how useful has been the retroillumination from behind of these scifi pannels , giving a versatility and power I never imagined because you can move and set the size not only of the hexagons and rectangle holes, you can set the size and placement of the emitters from behind of this holes.
    Believe me, this addon worths each cent!
    Thanks Sanctus!

    I purchased this addon a while ago, and it's great. I had an issue with a slow viewport - but my fault for rushing in without reading the documentation. I did tweet the question and had an answer back very quick. who knew material preview used Eevee hey. :)
    Love the addon and well worth the money, and also constantly updated. Great value.

    The best material addon, simply the best!
    I'll recommend to every blender user.
    This is what a modern procedural material library looks like.

    very useful! setting up materials and creating new ones using the noise presets have been of amazing help! this is without a doubt the best material library out there.

    the thing i love the most is it's vast variety of procedual materials which makes file sizes be extremely small! compared to other material packs which rely on multiple PBR 4k maps making file sizes reach the hundreds of MB easily, thats not the case here.

    1000% worth it! even more so with constant updates and more materials to choose from!
    this is without a doubt the last material library you will ever need

      Hi Stefan, thank you very much. Sure I will try to add as many materials as I can. I have a lot in process but I invite you to join the Discord server (link is on the addon website) to talk about new materials. Best, Sanctus
