Material Picker - Select And Browse Materials Blender Addon

My other Products:

Material Picker is the most intuitive tool for finding and editing materials in Blender. Get access to any material in one single click through the Viewport, or browse through all of your materials in the Shader Editor.

Main Features

Material Picker

Pick any material from the viewport by simply hovering over it.

Material Browser (New)

Browse and manage all of your materials in the most intuitive way.

Material Search

Quickly get access to any material straight from the workspace.
Automatically synchronizes with the Material Browser for a smooth workflow.

Everything Supported

Material Picker works every time, no matter the workflow you use!

Geometry Nodes

When picking a material from objects with geometry nodes or other modifiers without having it in a material slot, a new hidden object will be created with the material ready to be edited.

Instanced Objects​

When picking a material of instanced objects the original object will automatically be searched and selected with the picked material active.

Linked Objects​

When picking a linked Material you can automatically open the corresponding file to edit it. The changes will update immediately when tabbing back.

Made with a Professional

Material Picker was designed with the help of a 3D Artist with the goal of
speeding up your everyday workflow, especially when working with larger scenes.
That’s what he is saying about the result:

I can’t even think about the inability to quickly and easily select the desired material in Blender due to its multiple branching options of ways that objects can be brought together to get the final result… without spewing the most disparaging vulgarities about how I despise that aspect of Blender. I’ve got one less thing to vex me now.
