WHY WE MADE IT

You made that material.
But where?

We kept losing time on this. The perfect marble was in some old project, and finding it meant opening file after file. So we built a tool that looks for us.

BEFORE

The usual hunt

  • Open an old file, look, close it
  • File › Append, click into folder after folder
  • Forget the exact name, start again
WITH MATKIT

One search

  • Point at your projects folder once
  • Type the name, even with a typo
  • See every match and its file, append them all
HOW IT WORKS
Pick a folder, type a name, append them all
1
MatKit tab ›Material Finder

Search every .blend at once.

MatKit opens nothing. It reads the material names inside every .blend in the folder, subfolders too, and lists each match with the file it lives in.

🔍 Typos are fine📂 Subfolders included⬇ Append all in one click🗒 Or open the file in a new window
2
MatKit tab ›Material Gallery

See it. Apply it.

Every material in your file as a big preview. Click it to see them all, pick one, and put it on the selected object.

🖼 Big previews👆 Two clicks🧱 No node editor
3
Other Features ›Material Switcher

Swap A ↔ B.

Every object with Material A gets B, and every B gets A, across the whole file. Click again to swap back.

🌐 Whole file🔄 Click again to swap back
4
Other Features ›Missing Textures

Pink textures? Fixed.

Moved a project and now it's all pink? Scan lists every missing image. Point at a folder and MatKit relinks each one by its file name, subfolders too.

🔍 Scan📁 Pick a folder🔗 Relink all
5
Other Features ›Random Solid Viewport Colors

Tell parts apart.

Give every material its own color in Solid view. Not happy? Click again. One more click brings everything back to grey.

🎨 One click🎲 Reroll anytime⏪ Back to grey
6
Other Features ›Select By Material

Who uses this one?

Pick a material and click Select. Every object that uses it gets selected, so you can see it, move it or change it together.

🎯 One click🔍 No Outliner hunting
7
Other Features ›Cleanup & Purge

Clean up unused materials.

MatKit counts the materials no object uses. One click deletes them, and your objects keep their own materials.

📊 See the count first🧹 Purge in one click↩ Ctrl + Z works
8
MatKit tab ›Other Features

All in one tab.

Plus Material Override: Blender's own view layer override, right in the same tab, for quick clay renders.

Every MatKit tool in one sidebar tab

💡 Good to know

  • A .blend saved in a newer Blender can't be opened by an older one. The Finder skips those and tells you how many it couldn't read.
  • Random colors only change the Solid view color. Your real materials and renders stay the same.
  • Purge deletes materials no object uses. Check the count first (Ctrl + Z brings them back).
  • Relink matches images by file name, so renamed files won't be found.
FAQ

Quick answers.

🎁 Is it really free?

Superhive has no free downloads, so MatKit is listed at $1. Use the code matkit-free at checkout and it's $0.

🧭 Where do I find it?

In the 3D Viewport, press N to open the sidebar and click the MatKit tab. The Finder, the Gallery and Other Features are all there.

🔍 What if I don't remember the exact name?

Type what you remember. MatKit also finds close matches, so "marbel" still finds Marble012 and Marble021.

📂 Does it search subfolders?

Yes. Every .blend inside the folder you pick is searched, however deep it is.

💾 Does searching change my files?

No. MatKit only reads the material names. Append copies the materials into the file you have open.

🧩 Which Blender versions?

Blender 4.2 and newer. We tested every tool from 4.2 up to the latest Blender. Install it like any extension: drag the .zip onto Blender.
