Shader Utilities Pro (SU Pro) is a tool to create all kinds of shadings within a scene. Part of the tool is a converter, which converts foreign shadings to A&D material. SU offers the possibility of using parameters like AO and Round Corners globally on all shadings. There are 3 selection criteria for doing this: The latest addition is the Sample Curve Technology used to optimize the Sample-Types, AO, Reflection and Refraction globally for an entire scene or all materials. This has major advantages

Flow Map Painter

5 votes

very early alpha of a script that I've been working on for a while, that will be used to literally "Paint" flow maps to be used in realtime game shaders.

the map is to be used in the shader as offset for the time value of the factor that is animating your textures, whether it is a panner node or an up-vector-based algorithm.

the how to use .txt file is included in the download.

Materializer (materials equalizer) is the fastest way to create materials mixing different templates. It works like a sound equalizer but for materials!
Example: To make glossy wood press the 'Wood' button and then add a little bit of plastic.

Every time you hit 'Set' selected material will be updated without removing of maps.

Plugin works both with Compact and Slate material editors.

Textures2materials is a very handy plugin which can turn multiple textures into materials at once (into multi-material or into multiple material slots). It also checks if your textures have a bump versions and load them as bump. "Must have" plugin for any 3D designer.
