    The email support is impressively fast! I was able to get straight to work.
    Now I can see why it gets so many recommendations. The tutorials are helpful and diverse. The ability to easily manipulate options with a focus on customization significantly reduced my workflow time. The controls are streamlined and straightforward, avoiding complex hotkeys and mechanics.
    I am very satisfied with the intuitive controls and settings. I look forward to future updates and will gladly invest in its development.

    This is an absolute must have!
    I bought it a while ago, in the first place for the materials that are really good and very customizable which alone are more than worth the price. I use them all the time.
    But I advice to take a good look at the Geometry Nodes Assets, because there are some awesome time savers in there.
    Pieces of magical geniousness that could easily be sold as standalone addons are keeping on added to this collection like it's nothing.

    On top of that, the support is great. Sanctus is as helpful as he is genious.
    He not only answered my questions fast and clear but also added multiple requested features, which made the tools even more useful.
    His philosophy of making better addons by listening to the feedback from the users seems to be working out! And how!

    This really is insane! I have never seen another Blender asset with this depth and value inside. The price that you pay is nothing when compared with the value you get. If I would have to make all of these from scratch, it would take years and I might still not come up with the same quality. But you pay a mere $30-40 and get years of development time saved here! I can't ask for anything more.

    As a note, it really is complex in some parts, but when you have this much detail, it is surely inevitable. Blender itself is complicated in some ways too, but we still use it. It may seem difficult to learn all of this at first sight, but the documentation is very well organized and there are so many tutorial videos which contain so much information. They are not enough? The author himself helps in person in his Discord group. So don't bother making all of these by yourself (you won't be able to), pay some mere bucks and buy this now!

      Very encouraging review, I appreciate it! Indeed some "sacrifices" have to be done to get more realistic looking materials. I'll keep trying to make it as intuitive and simple as possible, you are most welcome to join the discord and add some suggestions in the matter.
      Thank you

    By far the best money spent on Blender Market. Excellent textures and it has had so many (free) updates. Looking forward to getting Wood Works as I know the level of quality will be right there with the original pack. Honestly, I'm glad he's charging for the wood works and liquid packs. There is so much work put into these, that I feel bad having only spent what I did on the original pack. I promise you will not regret spending this money!

    You know what ? Sometimes, I feel so sad how some Blendermarket creators treat us.

    We're here to note the addon and the service we have. I'm the kind of guy giving long descriptions and sometimes it can seem cruel for the ones that worked a lot on their addon ... plus the fact that they sell them at a more than friendly price , for most of them.

    Here it was the kind of experience for which I am thrilled. The addon is well made. The textures are awesome.

    Yes, it's longer to render procedural textures but nothing is blocking you from baking the textures you make.

    The fact is that for some purposes including creating skin textures for characters , having PBR and using anti-tile can look less convincing than the skin shaders in the experimental zone of this addon.

    I used this a couple of times and I can tell personally that for some situations , procedural textures doesn't slow as much the render as some could think. It depends how much objects have this texture sometimes as PBR must frequently be duplicated for each different objects because of some factors like different seams etc.

    It's true, sometimes, some effects are a bit harder to obtain with procedural textures but each type has its pro and its con. I have also Extreme PBR and I use both depending on situations. Is there a lot of seams ? How much time more in the render I can deal with ? Do I need better resolution than a 2k or 4k PBR ?

    Procedural textures can be resized to the infinite. It's a calculation that is repeated. That can be nice when you're in a situation where your PBR textures aren't detailed enough or where your PBR tiling looks horrible.

    I'd say it's pretty much a necessary thing to own a procedural textures addon and this one is at my point of view the best here on Blendermarket. I personally HATE addons that we must register monthly and be connected on the WEB to use the addon. I prefer having my own stuff on my HDD with most of all textures I could need.

    The price is fair for what it is. I never had a worry about options in the addon and never had compatibility issue. It even propose you hair textures etc. It's worth it and we pretty much like the creators that offer a price for amateur and one for money makers. People like me living with autism or that have poor finances can still try to make a project and if they sell it , they now have the money to buy the pro licence. It's fait for the creator and it's a kind of life-saver for .... very very low budget people . I may never make money but if I do very well , I may also make some . It's a gamble that the creator takes at 50% for us. They are super nice on that. The creators offering this are the ones I will NEVER forget to pay if one day I make money with their addon.

    This confidence relation with the client installs a good relation and ... the creator gets money from poor people that would not have been able to buy anyway. Probably that on the final , a creator doesn't make more money to put only one single high price in some situations. That said , I love this. It allows autistic people like me to develop themselves even if maybe, they'll never earn money with their art. We still exist as artists because Blendermarket exist because with my small insurance prime , I'd never be able to use Cinema4d and pay their .... huge monthly price.... and it's even worst with 3dsmax or Maya so thanks to the geeks.

    And what is the awnser of Mr.Horse ?

    This is probably the best investment ever. The creator is excellent and always ready to assist you with any questions you may have. It’s already a great value, but the library keeps growing.
