Shader Presets

Shader Presets Addon for Blender

This Blender addon lets you load shader presets directly from a folder on your computer. Instead of having to package your presets into a zip file, you can now just place them in a folder and point the addon to that folder.

What it does:

1. Folder Setup: In the addon's settings, you specify the path to the folder where your shader presets are stored.
2. Loading Presets: The addon will scan this folder for .blend files that contain shader presets. It looks for presets with names starting with "DC_" and adds them to a list.
3. Adding Presets: When you open Blender, you can find these shader presets in the Shader Editor. You can easily add them to your node tree by selecting them from the menu.

How to Use:

1. Install the Addon: Add the script to Blender as an addon.
2. Configure Folder Path: Go to the addon's settings and choose the folder where your .blend files with shader presets are located.
3. Add DC Prefix: Rename the node groups in your .blend files to include the "DC_" prefix in their names.
4. Add Presets: Open the Shader Editor, find the "Shader Preset" menu, and select the preset you want to use.

This makes managing and using shader presets simpler and more organized. No more dealing with zip files—just keep your presets in a folder and point the addon to it!

Cons: It will not create any mess; it will only display nodes that have the prefix "DC_" in their names.
