We’re glad to present the new versions of Blender Essential and Jewelry material packs. This is a major upgrade as you can now use both libraries via Blender Asset Browser for a simple drag-and-drop production pipeline. Moreover, you can now select from 9 nice HDRI-based world shaders and assign them on your scene in the same drag-and-drop fashion.
We also added 5 new architectural materials to the Essential pack, including:

If you already own the libraries, you can obtain the new versions for free. If not yet, feel free to purchase these packs for just $90 from our store:
