Slice to Glass uses Glass 2.4 shader (CC-0) by CG Vertex available for free on Blendswap

* The Material library depends on ambientcg.com (A great site for free CC0 PBR Textures) for textures and requires an active internet connection to download new textures. (Although you can use already downloaded textures from the offline section). Just keep in mind if in an extremely rare situation the site is down (or API becomes paid) you won't be able to use the online library.

Don't wish to purchase the complete kit? Cater only to your specific needs! In the upcoming weeks, each tool will be individually available as separate add-ons!

Tested on Windows 10 (20H2),Windows 11, Ubuntu 21.04 & macOS (Catalina) with Blender 2.91->3.0
