Is my hardware enough to run materialiq?¶
Keep in mind that Blender is not a real-time application! If you find your viewport lagging remember that you can always hide assets (or entire collections) in viewport, display them as bounds, etc.
Can materialiq be installed on macOS 10?¶
Yes, materialiq can be installed to and works on macOS 10. For more information see the Installation part of this documentation.
The texture files are missing, how do I fix that?¶
The easiest way is to change the image resolution in the addon GUI.
How to change texture resolution
To change the texture resolution of materialiq materials head into the materialiq panel.
Choose if you want to change the resolution for all materials in the scene, or just for the
active material.
What is the difference between versions?¶
As the naming suggests, the only difference is the maximal resolution of the textures.
How to upgrade materialiq?¶
Log in a BlenderMarket account that owns materialiq. Add the desired materialiq version to your
cart. The price difference between the two versions will be deducted automatically.
Upgrading on Gumroad
Upgrading on Gumroad is not possible at the moment. Contact us on Discord server for a way to upgrade.
