Blender: an amazing 3D suite with horrific material management. Create a few materials and you’ll soon find yourself with an endless list of names and tiny little thumbnails. What are you meant to do, start a scavenger hunt?
Material Tags is a tag-based management system that lets you view, edit and organize materials. It allows you to assign multiple tags to each material, offering complete flexibility in categorization. No more scrolling through obscure material names, just search by tags and instantly find what you need.
Getting UV Aligner and Material Mode is strongly recommended.

Image Texture nodes have their own options, like pixel interpolation and color space settings. You can also filter by “Normal Map”, which either targets only image textures connected to normal maps. Below you can see use cases of the Pro version.
