BAM Automat
Active addon
BAM Automat is a material workflow addon for Blender. It scans texture folders, groups texture sets into material candidates, and creates or updates Blender materials from suffix, channel, and colorspace definitions.
Use it when you need to build many PBR materials from a texture library, keep material names and texture paths organized, inspect scene materials, assign or replace materials, clean unused material data, and prepare materials for an asset library.
