CraftMat Studio — for Blender 4.5+

Stop wrangling shader nodes.
Start creating.

A Substance-style, layer-based texturing workflow — native in Blender. Stack layers, paint on your model, generate wear, and bake PBR maps without ever opening the node editor.

The Workflow

Four steps. Zero node spaghetti.

Scroll to watch PBR channels stack into a complete material — exactly how CraftMat builds it in Blender.

BASE COLOR

Foundation diffuse color

ROUGHNESS

Surface micro-detail

METALLIC

Conductive reflections

NORMAL

Surface detail without geometry

FINAL MATERIAL

All channels composited

Layer Setup

Build a material from stacked layers — each one a full PBR channel group you can toggle, reorder and blend.

Stack & Paint

Paint directly on your model. Add variation with built-in noise textures, color ramps and smart masks.

Masking layers with edge and cavity detection

Mask & Wear

Edge detection, cavity and ambient occlusion masks — generated instantly in Eevee, no Cycles round-trip.

One-Click Bake

Bake every PBR layer in Eevee, auto-clean the scene, and export game-ready maps in a single pass.

Features

Everything you need to texture

Scroll down and watch a surface come alive — each feature paints itself onto the canvas as you read.

Base Material

Start with a solid foundation color and roughness value.

Noise Detail

Built-in procedural noise adds instant surface variation.

Edge Wear

Smart edge detection reveals wear on sharp edges automatically.

Final Composite

All layers blended non-destructively into a PBR-ready material.

Intuitive Layer System

Non-destructive, fully stackable layers with opacity, blend modes and per-channel control.

Hierarchical Masking

Nest layers and mask one underneath another — rust eating through chipped paint.

Smart Eevee Masking

Cavity, AO and wear masks calculated natively in Eevee — no Cycles needed.

Edge Detection

Automatically find and mask sharp edges for realistic edge-wear effects.

One-Click Baking

Bake all PBR layers in Eevee instantly. No manual setup, no engine switching.

Auto-Cleanup

After baking, CraftMat joins images into a tidy shader setup and cleans the workspace.

High-to-Low Poly

Bake complex layered setups directly onto lower-poly objects for game-ready assets.

Pass-Through Mode

Pull properties from layers beneath — blend metallic, bump or roughness between layers.

Vector Mask Layers

Draw, stamp & pattern masks by hand

A Marmoset-style vector toolset built into every mask slot. Sketch freehand strokes, place stamps along a path, or tile procedural shapes and text — fully live, fully non-destructive.

Stamp & pattern placement along paths
Shapes, images and multi-line text sources
Live preview, undo, and one-click bake-in

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is CraftMat Studio?

A layer-based PBR texturing, masking and baking add-on for Blender 4.5+. It replaces manual node editing with a non-destructive layer stack.

Do I need to know Blender nodes?

No. Everything is controlled from a simple panel in the Blender sidebar. You never have to open the node editor.

Does smart masking work without Cycles?

Yes. Edge detection, cavity and AO masks are calculated natively in Eevee.

Can I bake high-to-low poly?

Yes. Bake complex layered setups directly onto lower-poly objects with automatic scene cleanup.

What Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.5 and newer on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes. The license covers both personal and commercial use, including game assets and client work.
