Materialiq is a collection of Materials for Blender 2.8+ that are designed from the ground up to take care of the time-consuming tasks usually involved with creating and changing materials, allowing you to focus on other important aspects in your scene other than materials.

materialiq 4.6 is here!
NEW RELEASE: 2021/12/24: materialiq 4.6.1 – Added official support for Blender 3.0, fixed an issue with the ‘move installation path’ feature, fixed other 4.6 bugs.

Material Mapping Can be Rotated Along Each Axis Individually

Material Mapping Scale Automatically Adjusts to Object Scale (Possible to Turn Off for each Material)

Resize Material Mapping Globally or Along Any Given Axis

In materialiq, 90% of the materials use the same Node Group, so you can make the usual changes in exactly the same way.

Change diffuse + roughness texture strength and normal map strength, colorize it, play around with the brightness/contrast and hue/saturation of the texture. Make the material’s surface rougher or more polished.

Change the Material’s Base Color to achieve different color variations

Adjust Diffuse & Roughness Texture Strength Controls, or change their Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast

Adjust Normal Map Strength or Flip the Green Channel (Y axis)

The same actions produce the same results on each material, so customizing them and creating variations is fast and easy without needing to deep dive into understanding how it all connects together.
