    You know what ? Sometimes, I feel so sad how some Blendermarket creators treat us.

    We're here to note the addon and the service we have. I'm the kind of guy giving long descriptions and sometimes it can seem cruel for the ones that worked a lot on their addon ... plus the fact that they sell them at a more than friendly price , for most of them.

    Here it was the kind of experience for which I am thrilled. The addon is well made. The textures are awesome.

    Yes, it's longer to render procedural textures but nothing is blocking you from baking the textures you make.

    The fact is that for some purposes including creating skin textures for characters , having PBR and using anti-tile can look less convincing than the skin shaders in the experimental zone of this addon.

    I used this a couple of times and I can tell personally that for some situations , procedural textures doesn't slow as much the render as some could think. It depends how much objects have this texture sometimes as PBR must frequently be duplicated for each different objects because of some factors like different seams etc.

    It's true, sometimes, some effects are a bit harder to obtain with procedural textures but each type has its pro and its con. I have also Extreme PBR and I use both depending on situations. Is there a lot of seams ? How much time more in the render I can deal with ? Do I need better resolution than a 2k or 4k PBR ?

    Procedural textures can be resized to the infinite. It's a calculation that is repeated. That can be nice when you're in a situation where your PBR textures aren't detailed enough or where your PBR tiling looks horrible.

    I'd say it's pretty much a necessary thing to own a procedural textures addon and this one is at my point of view the best here on Blendermarket. I personally HATE addons that we must register monthly and be connected on the WEB to use the addon. I prefer having my own stuff on my HDD with most of all textures I could need.

    The price is fair for what it is. I never had a worry about options in the addon and never had compatibility issue. It even propose you hair textures etc. It's worth it and we pretty much like the creators that offer a price for amateur and one for money makers. People like me living with autism or that have poor finances can still try to make a project and if they sell it , they now have the money to buy the pro licence. It's fait for the creator and it's a kind of life-saver for .... very very low budget people . I may never make money but if I do very well , I may also make some . It's a gamble that the creator takes at 50% for us. They are super nice on that. The creators offering this are the ones I will NEVER forget to pay if one day I make money with their addon.

    This confidence relation with the client installs a good relation and ... the creator gets money from poor people that would not have been able to buy anyway. Probably that on the final , a creator doesn't make more money to put only one single high price in some situations. That said , I love this. It allows autistic people like me to develop themselves even if maybe, they'll never earn money with their art. We still exist as artists because Blendermarket exist because with my small insurance prime , I'd never be able to use Cinema4d and pay their .... huge monthly price.... and it's even worst with 3dsmax or Maya so thanks to the geeks.

    And what is the awnser of Mr.Horse ?

    This is probably the best investment ever. The creator is excellent and always ready to assist you with any questions you may have. It’s already a great value, but the library keeps growing.

    Really happy about it. Maybe a little bit complexe sometimes for the blender user I am, but there are plenty of choices, I didn't use everything yet. But definitely worth the money.

    You're going to get so much for the price, not only incredible quality procedural materials from many categories, but also effects, addons, lights, procedural models (sofa, bookcases, folders, etc.) many with animation, snow generators, moss generators, etc., tools of many kinds, and much, much more. Absolutely one of the best and most complete products on Blendermarket. Very professional customer service. And all the documentation and videos from Sanctus on their channels are incredible, in English and Spanish.

    I bought this package a few weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the quality of the materials.
    I didn't expect such a massive upgrade like the one that came out today for it. It pushes the broadness of the offerings to the next level.
    The value of this package has to be at the top of the list out of everything sold in Blendermarket.
    The documentation is excellent too.
    Thank you for the passion you have placed in your product, Sanctus!

    I use Sanctus Library almost daily, and it is definitely my goto when it comes to materials. It is easy to use and it is filled to the brim with high quality stuff. I've been using it for about a year now, and I still find new stuff I haven't tried before. This addon is really a treasure trove and something I would recommend to each and every blenderhead out there in a heartbeat.

    If you are thinking about buying it? Just do it, it is worth every penny. It's one of those rare addons that I would rate 6 out 5!
