1. Locate the add-on in the Material Properties 

• You will need to have a mesh object selected to see the material properties and the add-on UI

2. At any time, you can make a selection and press “Get Freaky”. It will create a new abstract material and add it to your selection. It will replace your current material, but it won’t delete it, it will just replace it in the material assignment window. 

3. You can choose to generate with random colors, or you can assign a color palette to be assigned when randomizing color elements in a node arrangement.

Keep pressing the button until you get something you like, and you can freak it to your liking in the shader editor. You can generate multiple materials at once by selecting more than one object. That’s all there is to it!
