Auto-PBR stands out in the superhive library for pairing AI texture generation with automatic Blender shader building, covering the path from prompt to material-ready result in one add-on.
Auto-PBR is a Blender add-on from CelladorProject that generates professional tileable PBR texture sets using AI-powered generation via ComfyUI. It runs on the Flux 2 Klein backend and provides a complete pipeline that moves from prompt-based generation to material-ready shaders, with support for automated shading and channel packing.
Complete PBR sets include Albedo, Normal, Roughness, Metallic, AO, and Height. The add-on builds Blender materials automatically, and its seamless, tileable outputs are aimed at game and real-time workflows. Flexible controls cover both preset workflows and advanced options.
Auto-PBR targets Blender 5.0 to 5.1 and works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It is distributed under the MIT license. A demo video is available, and documentation is provided on the developer's page for setup and use.
Auto-Pbr is best for blender artists generating tileable PBR texture sets for game and real-time workflows.
Auto-Pbr is completely free to download and use.
Auto-PBR is built for Blender 5.0 to 5.1, so it fits those releases of Blender. It generates tileable PBR texture sets and builds Blender materials automatically, working with the Cycles and Eevee render engines within that version range. If you run a different Blender version, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility before installing, since the supported range is stated as 5.0 to 5.1 and other versions may not be covered.
Auto-PBR relies on ComfyUI for its AI-powered texture generation, using the Flux 2 Klein backend to produce the maps. The add-on handles the pipeline from prompt-based generation through to material-ready shaders, so ComfyUI sits at the generation stage of that workflow. From there it can build Blender materials automatically. For setup steps and how the ComfyUI connection is configured, refer to the documentation provided on the developer's page.
Auto-PBR supports the Cycles and Eevee render engines in Blender. After generating a PBR set, it builds Blender materials automatically, so the resulting shaders are set up for use with those engines. The generated maps cover Albedo, Normal, Roughness, Metallic, AO, and Height, giving a full set to work with in either engine. For details on how the shaders are constructed, see the documentation on the developer's page.
Auto-PBR is distributed under the MIT license, according to its listing details. It is also cataloged here as free, so you can add it without a purchase, though licensing terms can change over time. For the current license status and any usage conditions, check CelladorProject's page directly before relying on it in a project. The MIT license is the terms stated for the add-on itself.
