This is the best add on ever for materials. Thanks for creating it!
Highly recommend it, I have been a Archviz professional since 1991, long term user of 3dsmax, now migrated over to Blender just because... I've been dealing with big giant architecture files with all kinds of material assignment anomalies, this makes the file organization alone worth the price. Not that this is not perfect, but to make it..."more perfect" lol...maybe add some procedural sidings and procedural bricks to it. That will be great. Thank you Andrew for making such a great product!
Just full disclosure, I left a similar review to Andrew's other product HDRi Maker, so if there is any overlap, I apologize but they're things I want to bring up for both products.
This is an extremely useful add-on, it offers more materials for the price than many of the collections you'll find. The user interface is so easy to understand that even a complete beginner like myself had no issues whatsoever navigating around it and taking advantage of the texture painting and FX abilities it offers. Like I said in the review for HDRi Maker, it speaks volumes for a developer to not only make such a useful add-on, but to make it so easily understandable for someone with little experience at the same time..
Are you going to get the same results that you would from something like Substance Painter?? No.. but you're also getting a lifetime license for a one time payment of less than $100 as opposed to Adobe forcing their customers to lease the ability to use their software instead of owning it.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely yes.. Between the number of materials included, the organization of said materials, combined with the easily accessible tools like texture painting.. You really can't go wrong with this add-on. You get the material library, and tools that are often sold as standalone add-ons for things like texture painting and even adding surface imperfections.
Andrew is great developer who somehow made time to answer ALL of my questions before I had even purchased either of the two addons and this was during the time their servers were having issues..
------
About the server problems a lot of recent reviews are complaining about..
I'm sorry, and I don't mean to sound condescending, but.. when I purchased the add-on, all I had to do was read the product page where it clearly stated the BFCM sales were hitting their servers hard, and to just please be patient while they got them up and running at preferred speeds again.
I've had nothing but friendly support from the Blender community in the short time I've been messing around with it, so its just a bit shocking to see some of the things people posted as a review during that time.
I noticed this add-on being referred to as some kind of scam?? How did you come to that conclusion when it has a LONG history of high sales and high ratings PRIOR to the issues regarding the servers during the sale?? One of them, straight up used profanity because they couldn't IMMEDIATELY get the textures downloaded.. How old are you?? There's NO excuse for that. I suffer from pretty major social issues and mental illness, and even I read that review thinking "This had to be posted by the same person who threw a tantrum in the cereal aisle of a grocery store as a child.. and not much has changed."
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how anyone jumped to some of these conclusions, and instead of simply messaging the developer to ask what was going on, the first reaction was to just leave a negative review?? I don't know Andrew personally, but he was finding the time to answer all of my questions BEFORE buying either product, so I know for a fact if you purchased it, couldn't get it to download the textures, and had simply either come back to the product page and read "Our servers are having problems with the amount of traffic from the sale," and/or simply messaged him asking, you would have had your answer. The decision to immediately leave a review instead of doing one of those two things should not be impacting the rating of such a good product, and I can't even begin to fathom how one person was hostile enough to use profanity..
Loving the Nexus update. Super useful texturing addon. The layered texture paint and easy on/off displacement option is such a time saver. The only thing I would love to see is some more glass presets (e.g. artistic glass with lot's of chromatic abberation) and some more high end patterns for interiors.

Hey Marca, Thanks a lot for your support, and thanks for these helpful tips, we'll put it on the To Do list.
A really brilliant add-on! I just love using it and it is super-easy to do so. I really enjoyed Extreme PBR Pro which I bought back in 2019 but this Nexus version takes it to the next level. Well done Andrew_D!

Ty Jinwoo, We are enhancing the service, thank you for your trust and your support 🙏
UPDATED 2 MAY 2022 -The Nexus update is incredible with a TON of new materials to play with. The new download format is extremely convenient to use after the initial setup. While it's dependent on servers to download and update the software, it seems quick and responsive. There were some issues with the download servers at the start, but it's. gotten a lot better. Plus there are just a ton of extremely high quality materials to choose from.Overall a very strong material addon.

Hei Craig, thankyou for your support, Yes you are right, in those days the server was operational for a few days, and we had great overloads. We are improving the performance of the service to not create further packet losses during download / installation
With the latest NEXUS Update, that thing just became a Monster!! Must have AddOn!

Ty for your Trust and your support Volker 🙏
Great add-on!
However, one minor issue which is very bizarre. For any version of Blender beyond 2.90, the materials (any of them, doesn't matter which) render the object as partially transparent (when in Cycles). When I open the shader editor, I found that the Normal maps are connected to the Alpha socket. All I need to do is re-connect it to the Normal socket, and it's fixed. But, any idea why the add-on would default to that particular setting? I unistalled, and reinstalled. But that didn't fix the issue.

Hello Brent, ty for your support 🙏
You only need to update the addon 😊👍
In a world full of options, addons and developers, I want to express my joy with this purchase, it is easy to use, it has a great variety of options to work with systems of all kinds, since the vegetation textures have a choice To vary the detail, and the species, it is worth every penny that I pay, and taking into account that I live in a country where each dollar is worth 188 times the value of our currency, do not waste time looking for anything else! The result is spectacular !
Greetings!
