About [BAM] AutoMat

[BAM] AutoMat is a Blender add‑on from AlexeyHRDesign designed for batch material setup and updates. It creates materials directly from a texture folder, reads subfolders and custom suffixes, and automatically handles color spaces. The Material Manager can process hundreds of materials in one click, reusing existing texture data‑blocks to avoid duplication. The add‑on supports both OpenGL and DirectX normal maps, includes a preset system for consistent setups, and allows channel selection for plug‑in or packed textures. It identifies materials by the presence of a Base Color texture and is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Version 1.2.1 is the current release.
