Modular Metals provides a collection of shader node groups and material presets for building custom metal effects in Blender. Designed primarily for the Cycles rendering engine, these nodes are built to work alongside the Glossy BSDF shader, though separated outputs allow for integration with other node setups. The package is organized as a single blend file ready for inclusion in Blender's Asset Browser.

The modular system works by combining simple node groups to build complex, layered materials procedurally, removing the need for manual UV mapping. It includes specialized smart nodes that utilize ambient occlusion and edge data to generate automatic edge-wearing and cavity effects without baking textures. Users can apply the included presets directly or combine the node functions to craft entirely custom metallic surfaces.
