HOW TO USE

Open the .blend in Blender, browse the showcase scene, then assign a material from the Material Properties panel or append it into your own project (File > Append > Material).

GOOD TO KNOW

• The preview images on this page are Cycles renders of the materials on spheres and simple shapes. Appearance depends on your scene, lighting, render engine, color management and geometry.
• Showcase scenes are set up for Cycles. Not tested in other render engines or older Blender versions.
• A few materials use strong displacement and can look extreme on small test objects; adjust the displacement scale to suit your geometry.
• This is a Blender project file, not a texture pack, add-on or universal exchange format.
• Digital download. Nothing is shipped.
