Happy reading! Andrew_D

Does the addon work with Blender 4.2?

Important

From Blender 4.2 the addons are “Extensions” take a look here at the official page: https://code.blender.org/2024/05/extensions-platform-beta-release/

Yes, all my addons are ready for Blender 4.2 and the new Extension system.

Make sure you have installed the latest version of it, you can find here the list of updates: Updates Log

You will be able to install the addon with the new Blender system. To do this, I recommend uninstalling the version you have already installed, because it could be in the list of “Legacy” Addons, which means 2 things, either you have moved the addon manually to the addons folder (Until Blender 4.1 this was not a problem)

So make sure to:

Uninstall the addon (If you had it installed)
Download the new version of the addon (If you haven’t already downloaded it)
Install the new version of the addon in Blender 4.2

How can I contact you for assistance?

If you have purchased the addon on BlenderMarket, go directly to the addon page and click on “Ask a question” usually I answer within 24 hours

If you have purchased the addon on Gumroad, you can send me a mail to: tredistudio@hotmail.com or info@extreme-addons.com

Which version of Blender is compatible?

The addon is compatible with all versions from 3.3 (Included) onwards.

Can I use the Materials for commercial projects?

Yes, the entire Default library of Extreme PBR is provided under CC0 license, so you can use it even without citing the license.

In any case I have inserted in each Material the type of license of use. This can be viewed by pressing the Button “Info” as in the image below, a popup opens, and from there you can see the type of license of use.

Are updates free?

Extreme PBR was born in 2019 and since then all users who have purchased the addon have received all updates for free. This means that if you buy the addon today, you will have access to all future updates.

So, Yes!

If I bought a version that is not PRO, can I upgrade to PRO in the future?

Yes, you can do it, you will just have to buy the PRO version and you will only pay the difference in price.

Can I import my Textures into Extreme PBR?

Yes! but provided you import them on the fly, you can also save them in a “User Library” category and save the materials within it. To do this, simply use the Shader Maker tool, you can find here: Auto PBR and here the video tutorial: Create your PBR Material (Import your textures)

Do I need a powerful graphics card?

My advice is undoubtedly yes, but it is not mandatory. The important thing is to have a VRAM large enough, at least 4GB

With which rendering engines can I use Extreme PBR ?

Cycles and Eevee are the rendering engines supported by Extreme PBR, support for other rendering engines is not planned at the moment

Is there support?

Of course! You can contact me on https://blendermarket.com/ or on my mails: tredistudio@hotmail.com or info@extreme-addons.com

Does it work with Blender Asset Browser?

Yes, from version 4.1.100 of Extreme PBR it is possible! you can create the asset browser library from the addon, check the documentation for more information under the voice “Asset Browser”

Are there any video tutorials?

Yes, on my channel you will find some useful videos, I suggest you subscribe to the channel and activate the bell to receive notifications: Youtube Link or on the documentation page here: Video Tutorials

What is the User Library for?

The User Library is a library that by default will be empty, it will be a real folder on your computer, and will be managed directly by the addon, it is used to save the materials you have created or modified, to save a material in the user Library take a look at this section: Save Editor
