Hi guys, here is a topic over our files management regarding materials collections.
like anyone here (more or less), we have collected hundreads of materials…
i would like to know a couple of thing about your setup:
- how many materials do you have in your collection ?
- How many categories do you have ? (don’t want to know which ones
) - do you use an asset manager to use it within blender ?
- how do you store them ? (textures in separate folder or inside material file? any previews ? )
On our side (at the office), we have 25 basic materials that serve all kind of purpose to be customized, we have up to 350 realistic materials (wood, metals,etc…) coming from downloads (free and not free), we have 13 pbr templates, 54 fx materials and more than 2400 photoscanned materials directly related to our projects.
As well, we made a lot of categories to organize the whole set… and we use an extraordinary asset manager add-on , the famous Asset wizzard !
i am curious to know more about you… bye
