    firstly, thanks alot for this addon! so i've installed the addon, and that worked, but it doesn't seem to load the library. (i' m using Blender 2.76; i installed it according to what you called "Type 3")

    Koyaanisquatsy, the file structure should be: \2.76\scripts\addons\materials_library-master with all the file inside that.

    what i do not see are the actual materials.(not in that menu anyway) i can use blenders append-function to get the materials, but i havenĀ“t figured out how to see them in that addon-menu.

    Hi, you Blender now has the addon built in. Matlibvx. you can still download this materials file and either place it in the matlib folder or in Blender 2.81, in the addons preferences, you can choose an extra location and add any blend files containing materials to the list.
