Is CraftMat Studio good for beginners?

Yes. Everything works from a simple sidebar panel — you never need to open Blender's node editor.

What do I get with early access?

The full add-on, personal and commercial license, and free updates all the way until version 1.0.

Can I bake high-to-low poly?

Yes. Bake complex layered setups onto lower-poly objects with automatic scene cleanup — ideal for game-ready assets.

The Workflow

Watch a material build itself

Scroll through the steps — the preview sphere gains a layer at each one, exactly like stacking layers in CraftMat.

01Base Color

Base Color

Lay the foundation — a solid color, an image texture, or strokes painted straight onto the model.

Roughness

Matte, satin or glossy — control how light scatters across the surface per layer.

Metallic

Slide into conductive metal. CraftMat wires the correct reflections for you.

Normal & Bump

Fine surface detail with zero extra polygons — bumps, dents and engraving.

Baked & Ready

One click bakes every channel and cleans the node tree — export-ready for games or rendering.

Features

Everything you need to texture

Every feature exists to get you out of the node editor and back into the viewport.

Layer Stack

Build materials from non-destructive layers with opacity, blend modes and per-channel control. Reorder anytime.

Hierarchical Masking

Nest layers and mask one underneath another — rust showing through chipped paint, dirt pooling in grooves.

Paint Directly

Paint straight onto your model in the viewport. Strokes land exactly where you draw them.

Smart Eevee Masking

Edge wear, cavity and ambient occlusion generated natively in Eevee — no Cycles round-trip, no waiting.

One-Click Baking

Bake all PBR maps instantly, then CraftMat wires the results into a clean node setup for you.

High-to-Low Baking

Bake detailed high-poly setups onto low-poly meshes — game-ready assets without the usual pain.

Vector Masks

Draw strokes, place stamps and patterns, or type text — Marmoset-style vector tools in every mask slot.

Pass-Through & Noise

Pull properties from layers below, and add instant variation with built-in noises and color ramps.

FAQ

Questions, answered

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 — stack layers, paint on your model, generate wear, and bake PBR maps with one click.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes. Everything works from a simple panel in the Blender sidebar. If you've used layers in any image editor, you already know how to use CraftMat.

Does smart masking work without Cycles?

Yes. Edge wear, cavity and ambient occlusion masks are calculated natively in Eevee — no engine switching, no slow bakes just to preview wear.

What exactly do I get with early access?

The full add-on with a personal and commercial license, and every update free until version 1.0. Buy once at $20 — the price never increases for you.

Can I bake high-poly detail onto a game-ready mesh?

Yes. High-to-low poly baking transfers your layered setup onto a lower-poly object, then auto-cleans the scene so the model is export-ready.

What Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.5 and newer, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
