Material Browser Like Cinema 4D

Paul Thien Store in Addons


Say goodbye to clunky material workflows.

Material Browser Sync is your new favorite sidebar tool for managing, assigning, and previewing materials — all without switching tabs or navigating complex panels.


🚀 Key Features:

Thumbnail Gallery View
Quickly browse all materials in your scene with a beautiful, scrollable preview panel (no need to open the Shader Editor!).

Auto-Sync with Selected Object
When you click an object in the viewport, the panel instantly highlights its assigned material. Fast and seamless!

Manual Preview Selection
Want to assign a new material? Just click any thumbnail — fully supported, no UI lag, no sync glitches.

One-Click Assign
Assign the selected material to any object with a single button.

Add, Duplicate, Delete
Quickly create new materials, duplicate existing ones (unlinked), or remove materials you no longer need.

Purge Unused Data
Clean your blend file in one click with Blender’s native “Orphan Data Purge”.

Active Object Display
Always know which object you're working on — its name is shown clearly in the panel.
