Can I import previously made materials/textures/meshes/objects?

Artistic Support Materials and Textures

I’m pretty sure I can but I don’t know how. I know that Append or Link lets you add .blend files but where do you find the rest of the things I asked about?

also what are the .blend1 files for? are those the undo’s or something?

If you Append from the Object Library of another file (Library file) the Object will come in with all linked DataBlocks (Mesh, Material, Texture). You can append from (say) the Material lib and only the Material DataBlock will come in (with textures if they are there) and you can Link that to an existing Object from the MA DataBlock menu in the Links and Pipeline tab in F5 buttons.

Blend1 files are the ones you saved over, backup files.

well, I read the whole thing and maybe I’m missing something but it just says that it is possible and encouraged but not how.

File >> Append >> Navigate to the Library file.
