Installation

1. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, and select the downloaded zip file.
2. Enable "MatCap9000" in the add-ons list.
3. Open the 3D Viewport sidebar (press N) and find the "9000 Toolkit" tab.

Usage

1. Pick a starting look from the Base Presets dropdown, or start from scratch.
2. Drag the key, fill, and rim light handles directly on the preview sphere to shape the lighting in real time.
3. Toggle "Preview on Model" to see the result on your own selected object instead of the sphere.
4. When you're happy with the look, export it as a matcap image ready to use anywhere in Blender.

Requirements

Blender 4.2 or newer. Tested up to Blender 5.1.
