Opened a Blender project full of pink materials? Inspect the broken image paths and their shader users before relinking. Texture Rescue Lite 0.1.1 searches a folder you choose for exact, case-sensitive filenames. Duplicate names require your choice. Preview old and new paths, confirm selected repairs, export a CSV and restore the latest repair operation in the current session with intervening-change checks.

Works offline using texture files you already own. No cloud upload, account, automatic save or deletion. Includes extension ZIP, GPL-3.0-or-later source, guides, an original two-missing-image practice project, replacement textures, before/after renders and validation summary. Extract the buyer bundle, then install the inner extension ZIP.

Tested only in Blender 4.5.3 LTS on macOS arm64. Other hosts are unverified. Supports static local FILE images and standard material/world image nodes including nested shader groups. UDIM, sequences, videos, multiview, linked/read-only images and unsaved pixel edits require manual handling. Search skips symlinks and reports access errors and limits. Restore history clears on load or undo. Back up first and save manually when satisfied. Blender includes Find Missing Files; this tool adds affected-user inspection, duplicate choices and repair previews. It cannot recreate a missing texture file.
