Materials Library

A materials library within Blender that allows you to link to each image map of that material.

  • Ability to assign and filter by tags.
  • Drag-and-drop (or double click) to assign material to selected object(s) or faces.
  • Preview on a variety of objects such as plane, cube, sphere, cylinder and model (Suzanne or imported).
  • Select between lighting presets for preview.
  • Export / import material libraries.

* @Kdaf * ... which might not cover the materials in the current file. The way I understand it, the Aset Manager is for external files/libraries. A material library should also cover the internal materials better or even be able to create materials without a link to any object first, IMO.
