MM_ShaderToolsAuthor: Felix Geremus MM ShaderTools is a plugin which helps you to batch replace, create or modify shaders
in all your materials at once. This can save huge amounts of time, especially in later
stages of a project. You can select multiple materials or lights and run the plugin
to modify your render trees with three different operations:
Replace shaders: will replace all instances of the same shader by a new one. You
have options which will help you to keep all connections in and out of the shaders
intact. Additionally you can set parameters in the newly created shader, either directly
or based on parameter values of the old shader
Insert shader: insert a new shader between a specified connection. Similar to replace
shaders you have options to keep all connections intact and additionally set parameters
in the new shader. You can also use this to simply import and connect a shader without
inserting it into an existing connection.
Set Shader Parameters: allows you to set parameters of all kinds in a target shader.
Includes numerous presets. Visit Felix's blog for a much more detailed explanation
and a small use case scenario.

Hey everybody!
I have a new plugin I wanted to share here:
MM_ShaderTools is a plugin which helps you to batch replace, create or modify shaders in all your materials at once. This can save huge amounts of time, especially in later stages of a project.

Thanks for sharing!
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

I know this is an old thread, but again thanks to Felix for releasing this one!
I just replaced 150+ Phong shader based materials to Arnold Standard ones, all within 10 minutes or so.
And all textures connections etc went along for the ride.
