Material Library

This page provides information about the Enscape Material Library.

Overview

The Enscape Material Library comes with a selection of pre-made PBR materials. Import them into the Enscape Material Editor to further adjust their parameters or use them with their default settings. The Material Library can be accessed in one of two ways: from the Enscape toolbar and from the Enscape Material Editor menu.

The Enscape Material Library and the Enscape Material Editor are ready to use even if Enscape is not currently running.
