Procedural Tiles has drawn over 23,000 downloads and a 5.0 rating across 20 reviews on Blender Extensions. It earns its place by packing more than 100 tile-focused shader nodes that behave like Blender's own texture nodes, so there's nothing new to learn.
Procedural Tiles is a Blender add-on built around a library of over 100 shader nodes that emulate tile patterns. It lives in the material node editor, and each node is designed to be used like Blender's Voronoi or brick texture. Because of that, no new workflow is required: existing shader node knowledge transfers directly.
The nodes cover a range of uses inside a shader graph. They can define the core pattern of a floor or wall, act as noise for surfaces, break up symmetry and repetitive tiling, or hide the hard edges that appear when a texture tiles. The library is described as growing, with new tiles added over time.
Procedural Tiles is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Source and issue tracking are available on the developer's GitHub page.
Procedural Tiles is best for building floor and wall patterns, adding noise to surfaces, breaking up symmetry and repetitive tiling, and hiding hard edges where textures tile.
Procedural Tiles is completely free to download and use.
Procedural Tiles is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on current LTS releases and later versions. It lives in the material node editor as a set of custom shader nodes and requires no special permissions to run. If you're on an older Blender release, you'd need to update to at least 4.2 to use it. Compatibility and version details are listed on the developer's page.
Procedural Tiles doesn't require learning anything new. The nodes are built to be used just like Blender's Voronoi or brick texture, so your existing shader node knowledge transfers directly. You add them in the material node editor and wire them into a shader graph the same way you would any other texture node. That makes the library approachable if you already work with Blender materials.
Procedural Tiles installs like other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop the add-on into Blender, or download the zip and install it from disk through Blender's preferences. It's available on Blender Extensions and its source is hosted on the developer's GitHub page. At around 4.1 MB, it's a small download. Once installed, the nodes appear in the material node editor.
Procedural Tiles is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It's listed as free here, and it requires no special permissions to run in Blender. The full source code is available under that license, so you can inspect or build on it. For current licensing terms, source, and issue reporting, check the developer's GitHub page. The add-on is also distributed through Blender Extensions.
