Real Materials includes
Texture scattering
Map to face/lazy texturing
Texture Tiles/Atlases
Browse PBR materials, blend shaders, place images, and build detailed surfaces with procedural masks and texture layers. Real Materials brings material creation, editing, and UV tools into a dedicated Blender sidebar.
Get Real Materials
Find your starting point
Browse and apply AmbientCG PBR materials, or start with glass, emission, copper, gold, and silver shader presets. Save your own materials and textures to build a collection you can reuse across projects.
Layer materials and surface detail
Combine materials with controllable masks. Add procedural textures and shape their influence with noise, gradients, images, and layered adjustments.
Add wear where it belongs
Create masks for cavities, edges, dirt, curvature, thickness, and selected faces. Use flow masks for surface-following effects, preview the results, and bake masks to images.
Place graphics and scatter textures
Map images onto selected faces for labels and surface graphics. Scatter image sprites or procedural shapes with adjustable density, scale, rotation, and variation. Build texture-tile layers and define regions from a texture atlas.
Keep UV tools within reach
Unwrap meshes, manage seams, adjust islands, and create UV maps alongside your material workflow.
