Are these assets AI-generated?

No. Every single asset in ZenShaders Library, including materials, textures, decals, sculpt brushes and generators, is created manually and procedurally in Substance Designer. No AI image generation tools are used at any stage of production. Everything you see is hand-built node by node.


Can I use ZenShaders assets to train AI models?

No. The license explicitly prohibits using these assets to train, fine-tune or generate images with any AI or machine learning model. This applies to all formats included in the library.


Can I use these assets in commercial projects?

Yes. The royalty-free license covers both personal and commercial use with no additional fees.


Do I need to credit ZenShaders?

No credit is required, though it is always appreciated.


My download contains multiple .zip files. How do I install them?

Some categories are split into several parts due to their size. Download all parts into the same folder without renaming them, then extract only the first file using 7-Zip. For a full step-by-step guide visit our documentation.
