AAA (Almost Anything Awesome) Material for Blender is an easy and powerful solution for building complex material setups. It could get heavy on your system so make sure that your machine is strong enough. Of course, it also depends on what you are using it for. If you have at least GeForce RTX 4090, you should be good to go.
If previewing the material in a 3D viewport is not your priority, then you can work on a lower specs machine. Sometimes you'll only be interested in generating various texture maps, like Diffuse, and Roughness maps, because you'll be using them in another package. This means that previewing Material Output through Blender's 3D Viewport Render Preview is really not that important, since you'll be able to preview each pass separately.
Triple A Material is designed to be used with Cycles, although it will work with Eevee as well, just have in mind that the results will be slightly different. Cycles will also allow you to work a lot faster.

FAQ
What product variation is right for me (Basic, Pro or Pro Studio)?
Pro - for one (1) user who wants the material as well as the image textures (fingerprints, rust, stains, etc.) and all the future assets
Pro Studio - for up to five (2-5) users who want the material as well as the image textures (fingerprints, rust, stains, etc.) and all the future assets
Basic - for one (1) user who only wants the material and doesn't care about the image textures (fingerprints, rust, stains, etc.) that can be seen in the promo video(s), or any future assets

Will it work with Eevee?
It will work with Eevee but we strongly recommend that you only use it with Cycles because of the speed and the fact that you will get better results that way, especially if you plan to bake different render passes. Of course, a solid GPU (4090 at least) is a must. AAA Material is a very complex node setup and sometimes Eevee struggles with it more than it is acceptable for any user.
.
What computer specs are recommended?
Since it is designed for Cycles, AAA Material will benefit from a solid GPU. 4090 (and above) is recommended.

How to use AAA Material?
For version 0.1.0, just append the AAA Material from inside AAA_Material_X_X_X.blend via File/Append. For version 0.2.0 and above, read the instructions inside the package or watch the video tutorials.

Documentation
Right now we are focused on video tutorials. There's a simple to understand .txt file inside the package. Version 0.1.0 is very different than any version after it. You can play with it but for production use version 0.2.0 and above.
