Why is the libary does not work? i did evreything right but when i donload something it jsut doesent download it into the blibary. i reloaded and it did nothing what do i do????????? how do i fix it?
Not showing for me in the Shader editor (using version 1.0 in Blender 4.0). Also, The EasyPBR Asset library has been created in the Asset Browser but it's empty. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
Next issue - add assets does nothing, there is no library named Easy PBR, so whole list remains untouched, I can add manually from shader editor window but "this is not the way" It works only if I add the path manually via user prefs using File Paths tab. UP: deleting all the paths, reassign all the paths again helps, so it created a new asset lib named Easy_PBR_Library in assets browser.
Last week, I used this addon without any problems. Then it was gone and I had to reinstall it and now it just wont work anymore. After downloading the Texture there comes an error message after trying to apply the texture.

What does this mean?
ALT+P does not work, whatever I do. UP: solved somehow, I created a new mat then hit alt+p it works, but new issue - first attempt was "wood siding" and it is TOOOOOOOO GLOSSY. Like polished or wet wood. Not PBR (EEVEE) UP2: solved by reassign ecreate a new material, now it is not as glossy as before. Wierd for me
very good addon. but i don`t know if i installed library corectly. i tried to download vie email not via addon and all materials are not visible in assets window. Do i install separatly all of the materials via addon?
Hey! I don't if you heard but Quixel Megascans will be closing their Bridge app and going for something called "Fab" sometime in the middle of this month. Quixel is letting all their assets, including their army of materials/textures, go for free. I was wondering if Easy PBR can "read" all the materials from a local machine. I know the Local option is there but it looks like its just for AmbientCG. Or if not, I should work with any material; because these Megascan textures/materials are PBRs so was wondering with Easy PBR will read them OK. Uhhh...asking for a friend lol :D
I know Quixel, but I'm not sure if they provide a public API to download their assets. The add-on uses only AmbientCG for the moment because their API is easy to deal with. It's possible to add other libraries, but it will require a lot of work, unfortunately I'm very busy with multiple projects right now.
@@monaime Oh OK and I completely understand. Guess I'll run my own test to see if I can work with the textures. And yeah I don't think it will be a public API as Fab will be their main vehicle for future dealings with the assets.
in 3.3 ltsand 3.4 alpha. just disconnect the normal map in bsdf the texture is shown in eevee and just adjust scale in displacement as it was too strong to .1or to your liking.
Thanks for the addon. I am having issues with the addon on Blender 4.2. I thought I sent an email via Gumroad but I don't think it got through. I get an error "No module named 'charset_normalizer.api' when trying to activate the addon. I redownloaded and reinstalled the addon and no go. In Preferences, it labels the addon as "Legacy (User)" instead of "Extension". What am I doing wrong?
First, make sure you are using the version 1.1.0 of the add-on for Blender 4.2. I think there is a conflict with something else you have installed, because there is no module named "charset_normalizer.api" in the add-on. To investigate the cause of the issue, you can disable the add-ons/extensions that you suspect to be the culprits, save the preferences, then restart blender. The "legacy" type is not an issue, I think it's not accurate from the blender devs to name them that way, because it sounds like it's outdated.
@@monaime HAZAAAA!!!! Found out what it was. You were right. It was another addon causing the issue. It dawned on me after skimming thru a very LONG thread with someone else having a similar issue, that the addon "Bonsai" is causing the issue. Strange because it is on the Blender extension site. After I uninstalled that addon, "Easy PBR" and other addons I was having the same issue with started to light up like Christmas trees lol. I better contact the Bonsai team (formerly known as BlenderBIM) and let them know something is going on with their addon that it is "breaking" Blender somehow. Thanks again for your help and suggestion. :D
@@monaime Ok everything works like a charm , the menu is" hidden" 😋 in the shading workspace .I love it , the option that you can choose between 1, 2, or 4k is nice the library is clean and well organized.Thank you for your effort for making this tool public you helped out a lot of artists with this 🙂✌️

Hey, i dont think the addon works on 3.1.0, it keeps telling me that there is "No internet connection." I tried reinstalling and changing library folders but still nothing.
I just tested it and it's working for me, maybe the issue has something to do with your configuration, or the function that tests the internet connection.
