Material library

One of the most important aspects of blender, as you become more advanced, is to have it organized so that you can find things. As you become more experienced in blender, he will add many new materials to your drawings. These materials will be of different types colors and many other categories. As you get more and more of these materials they become harder and harder to manage. This is especially true when they’ve spread out over many different blend files.

The material library takes care of this problem. It allows you to create one, or many, libraries to hold your materials. Once created, these libraries are accessible to any blend file.

Blender has a new add on called the material library VX. I have blender version 2.92, and the add-on was already installed. This caused me a great deal of trouble because I assumed that it was installed, and I did not have to go look at the add on. That was a major mistake .If you wish to use this add on you must understand how it works, and that is what this tutorial is  about.

================================= 

Start up blender with the new general layout. We can use the default cube as the object we need to look at a material. So select the object, scroll down the screen to the bottom. You will find the materials tab there. If you do not find the materials tab there that means that the add on has not been installed and you will have to go install the add on.
