Clay Doh works with Blender’s Asset Browser. There is no Addon to install.

HOW TO ADD

  1. Make sure that you are using Blender 3.4 or above.
  2. Download the Clay Doh ASSETS file. Note that it is an archive (zipped file).
  3. Extract its contents and you will get 2 files, .blend and .txt.
  4. Create a new folder named “Clay Doh” anywhere on your hard drive and put the 2 files inside that folder.
  5. Now in Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > File Paths and click the ‘+’ button under Asset Libraries.
  6. In the new window that pops up, navigate to the “Clay Doh” folder you created earlier and press the Add Asset Library button.

HOW TO USE

  1. In Blender, open an Asset Browser window. (Or change any window to an Asset Browser type using the button at the extreme top-left of each workspace window).
  2. Once inside the Asset Browser, you will see a slightly bigger drop-down button at the top-left that lets you choose asset libraries. Click on it to see the list of available libraries, and select ‘Clay Doh’ from that list.
  3. Now you will see all the Clay Doh in the Asset Browser. You can simply drag-n-drop them on your models.
  4. Everything is sorted in catalogs here, simply drag-n-drop. :)

Material Presets: materials can be dropped onto 3D models.

Shader Nodes: nodes that ****can be drag-n-dropped in the ‘Shader Editor’ window.

Geometry Nodes: nodes that ****can be drag-n-dropped in the ‘Geometry Node Editor’ window.
