SHADERSNAP

Materials should be fast to work with.

ShaderSnap brings material picking, editing, PBR setup and scene-wide material management into one focused workflow.

Instead of constantly moving between the viewport, Material Properties and Shader Editor, ShaderSnap lets you stay focused on the object in front of you.

PICK MATERIALS DIRECTLY FROM THE VIEWPORT

Press Shift + Q and point at any visible surface.

ShaderSnap detects the object, material and material slot directly under your cursor.

Click to assign it to your selection, cycle through material slots with the mouse wheel, add it as a new slot or open Quick Edit instantly.

SMART PBR IMPORT

Turn a folder of texture maps into a complete material in seconds.

ShaderSnap automatically recognizes:

• Base Color / Albedo

• Ambient Occlusion

• Roughness

• Metallic

• Normal

• Height

• Displacement

• Alpha / Opacity

The required shader nodes, color spaces and connections are created automatically.

QUICK MATERIAL EDITING

Adjust the most important Principled BSDF properties without rebuilding your workflow:

• Base Color

• Roughness

• Metallic

• IOR

• Alpha

Copy and paste shader parameters between materials without replacing the complete material.

ORGANIZE YOUR MATERIALS

Access your scene materials through a searchable library and keep frequently used materials close with Favorites and Recent Materials.

ShaderSnap also integrates with Blender's Asset Browser for easier material reuse.
