What is Dynamats ??

Dynamats is an Add - on which makes your shading work flow lot more easier,
i have been trying to develop an addon which helps us shading our scenes very fast and moreover. it gives us default materials to start with, and also you can add your own materials with it

many awesome blender -gods (developers) helped me making this add on , i hope everyone will like it

so now stop wasting your time shading your project from scratch ,

How does it work ??

Well, it works same like any other addon ,

install it and Turn it on then its just a matter of few clicks Select your material from the given list then press assign and

you're done :)

How many Shaders are given ??

Right now it has 32 DYNAMAT shaders, but it has option to add more shader packs

and i will release more shaders packs soon like 150 archviz shaders from ChocoFur and PBR shaders from BlenderBrit

How to add own Shaders ??

Its very simple , just select your shader And press Plus button ,

it will take some time , and after few seconds , you will have you shader in the thumbnail list ,

Dynamat supports both blender internal and cycles at the moment

Some FAQs

WHY ITS FREE ?

Because i feel there one few things still lacks in blender , which needs to be there for free , there are other better and paid addons for this , which has more features then this , but i think this is very basic need of everyone and it has to be free ,i tried it and i am using it , and i am very happy with it , i hope everyone will like it too

Code ISSUES ?

There might be Coding issues , because i was learning to code while making this addon , i got help from many developers , but still if you find any issue with code or you find any problem while using this addon , then i suggest you please stop using it . i will try my best to solve the issue if it has any then

FOR SUPPORT?

Yes you can always mail me at dragoneex@gmail.com , but i have spend a lot of my time developing this addon , i will try my best to help but i can not assure you any guarantee of solving the issue , i hope that everyone understand this

FUTURE SHADER PACKS?

yes , i have planned some shader packs too , i will release them in near future , and it will be free for all

What you cannot do with it ?

At the moment , you can not replace materials,
you can not get it back once you antecedently remove it
you can not add multiple materials at a time

Hi! I tried addon. Very easy to use (it is good). Little idea (may be good for large projects): button to link material from file.

Hi! Great work! Love this add-on! And thanks for sharing!! Just one question (maybe even stupid): where does it stores by default the new materials I add? Thanks!!

Love the function of the addon, however when I try to add one of my own materials with the (+) button, Dynamat basically recreates a scene with a back lit board, lights etc, switches to Blender render and gives an error in the console window (Thinks its attempting to create the thumbnail). This happens when I try to add a material without running blender with administrator privileges.

When I do run as admin, it adds my material to dynamat just fine, however it gets rid of my entire scene objects and hierarchy. Hope my feedback is clear and helpful. Love the addon again, especially the fact that its free! :) Great work!

yes you need admin rights to add materials , because it saves your material in your blender directory so i think that is in C drive , , it renders thumbnail in background but it didnt change the current scene objects by any how

Hi. I.ve been trying the addon and it works very fine and smoothly.
I have a suugestion that could improve it greatly: i work on several computers (desk and laptop) and it would be great to be able to choose the directory adress myself. I could for exemple place it on a dropbox and have a material bank always available.

Why is there a "full" and a "lite" version? What will be the difference once the lite version becomes available? And why does the full version require an email?

4/11/2016 01:07:22 pm

Both will be free , full means it will have 30 shaders in it , and lite means it will come with empty directory , basically main difference will be in size , full is 70 mb and lite will be 150kb ,

and email is required for just for the downloads info , no spam will be delivered , so dont worry ,

First off, thank you so much for sharing this amazing tool with the Blender community.
Unfortunately the textures are not showing once I render the meshes. They do show in the little preview window in the Blender Material tab, and the Dynamat's window of course. But when I render the meshes they appear with a flat colour, without the textures.
I am running Blender 2.78 in Ubuntu 16.04, 64bit
Any tips will be greatly appreciate it

You first need to unwrap your model..
Press u and unwrap first.. Then you will see textures
I hope it helps

Hi!

Thank you very much for this awesome add-on!
But I have this message when I want to assign a material of my own:

► Report: Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C\Users\Bunny\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\Dynamat\_init_.py", line 427, in execute with bpy.data.libraries.load(path) as (data_from, data_to):
OSError: load: C\Users\Bunny\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\Dynamat\dynamats\PBR_Metal.blend failed to open blend file

location: <unknown location>:-1 ◄

Everything seems okay in the folder "Roaming",
the problem comes in a folder already set (basic , fabric, liquid...) or in a folder I create.

Thank you in advance for your help!

28/1/2017 04:34:28 pm

Hi again!

I have understand what the problem is!

My PBR Metal shader was written with a "space" not with a "_" like "PBR_Metal".

Now with underscore instead of space bar, everything works fine!
Thank you again for this add-on, Blender is much simpler with it.

Can you tell me why?

Thank you for this very nice and promising addon!

I just have a major issue with adding a new material. Even when running Blender with admin rights, after adding new material, the current blend file I'm working on gets totally ruined. The current scene is lost including all my objects and materials. Luckily, I didn't click save and after restarting Blender, my file was OK. I hope this could be fixed in future, because this way it seems very dangerous and you could easily lose what you are working on.

Also, is it possible to add a World Shader to the library. If not, I think it could be another useful feature :-)

I've tried a few simple tests and this seems like a very useful add-on that can potentially speed of the texturing workflow. I haven't yet tried it on complex objects or scenes.

I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Naming: Some textures look similar and the preview is too small to distinguish the small details in the texture and the blend file name isn't very descriptive. Concrete 01, 02, 03 etc. doesn't help much so I'd like to add tags to a particular material so I can better describe it such as "Concrete, Old, Worn" or "Concrete, New, Smooth"

2. To make finding textures easier, I would suggest adding a search capability. This would compliment the texture naming and make it easier to find a specific texture. This would include searching for the tags a user has assigned to a material.

3. I like your first level hierarchy for categorizing textures, but I'd like to see one or two more. To avoid creating more subfolders when I add a texture, I would like to simply add tags such as "Tree, Bark, Oak" or "Tree, Dead", or "Tree, Bark, Palm, Queen". Too often the blend file name does not have sufficient information to find what I'm looking for and I end up having to try different materials to find the right one.

4. I'd like to tag materials as "Favorites" so I can keep track of the ones that I particularly want to use most often. I may several iron materials, but I'd like to tag one as my favorite so I know which it is.

Hi, I seem to be having some problems installing this add-on. I've installed it as suggested above, but its not appearing in Blender. Is this named 'Dynamat' under the add-on tab?
