02 — Requirements

The materials are provided as Blender Assets and are designed to be accessed through Blender's Asset Browser.

03 — Installation

After downloading the product, extract the provided files to a permanent location on your computer.

Important: Keep the library folder in its original location after configuring it in Blender.

Open Blender and navigate to:

Edit → Preferences → File Paths → Asset Libraries

Click the + button and select the folder containing the material library.

04 — Accessing the Library

Open an Asset Browser in your Blender workspace and select the library from the Asset Library dropdown.

Asset Browser → Asset Library → Planter Materials Library

Set the Asset Browser asset type to Materials to display the included collection.

05 — Applying Materials

To apply a material, drag it from the Asset Browser onto an object in the 3D Viewport.

You can also select an object and assign the material through Blender's Material Properties.

Depending on the material, you can adjust properties such as color, roughness, texture scale, and shader parameters.

08 — Using Materials Across Projects

Once the library has been added to Blender, the materials can be reused across different projects through the Asset Browser.

This allows you to maintain a consistent material collection without manually recreating or importing materials for every project.

Browse → Select → Apply → Customize

A simple workflow for quickly adding surface variation to your scenes and models.

09 — Keeping the Library Organized
