    I have had this for a few weeks now and waited to post a review to give the add on a fair testing:
    The overall quality of the add on is superb a lot of thought and care has gone into to the overall UI it is compact and yet complete.
    The materials included are varied and interesting out of the box and all can be endlessly tweaked for an almost infinite number of variations.
    I have seen comments about the speed of the workflow, while it is fair to say procedural node based textures in Blender can get slow as the complexity grows, I think it is unfair to blame the developer of the add on for this, it is a Blender core issue, which the add on developer has no control over. To alleviate this I would suggest mixing your textures and then baking them out to bit maps which will be fast al though fixed.
    I am very happy with my purchase and would recommended it to anyone looking for a starting point to complex procedural texturing in Blender.
    I am in no affiliated with the developer and the opinions stated here are my own.

    I'm very disappointed with this collection. Materials aren't what I expected and they slow down view port performance significantly when trying to use them. On top of that the interface isn't intuitive at all. Hard pass.

      Hi Andrei, I wish you would have reached out to see if you where using the addon correctly before getting to a conclusion. In any case send me a message for a refund. If this addon was not for you I don't want you to lose your money on it. Thanks for your feedback.

    My new favorite Material addon, Having tried almost every addon for materials, this one has the most flexibility. I do wish there was more concrete and some more matte metals / aluminums.

      Hey Andrei, thank you very much for your review! More materials are added constantly. I'm sure you will eventually get those. A new smart (not painted) metal along with many others is coming in the next update.

    This is simply amazing. I came in at 2.4 but just upgraded to 2.5 and the decals options are briliant! Just buy this and go on with your Blender life with materials and extras to hand.

    Also, I had not updated my nVidia drivers and had a minor issue when first installing. I emailed Sanctus on a Sunday morning and got a response within 10 minutes. So helpful and so rare in the dev industry. This chap is as amazing as he seems in his videos. This project is very close to his heart and it shows.

    Again, if you are reading this, just buy it.

    A very VERY high quality and quantity of shaders and now decals.
    Add to that baking, some geonodes, library integration and you have one of the best addon of its kind. Highly recommended !

    This product is an amazing value. I use Octane render, so I bake a lot of procedural materials and this makes that process so simple that alone is worth the price, then I get this decal update and it feels like I'm stealing money. This is one of the best value purchase I ever made on a Blender product (I have 252 products purchased, oof), I don't hesitate to recommend this one.

    I have no words to describe how much this addon helps me at work on a daily basis, I remember that I requested some materials through discord, and Sandcus promptly included this in one of the plugin updates!
    Awesome addon and the support is amazing! I recommend it to everyone
