Just finished this blender file made specifically for creating and testing materials and such.
It contains a checkered image plane with a slight glossy shader, an HRD environment, sun lighting, 5 great test meshes, a PBR shader (node group), simplified UI, and decent render and environment settings. External data is packed for you.
Meshes included;
- material ball
- chess knight
- pre shaped cloth
- cube
- smooth sphere
You would simple hide and show the meshes you want to see.
Enjoy!
