This page will teach you how to get Cyberpunk materials into Blender (and how to bake them into textures).
Wait, this is not what I want!

How to get Cyberpunk Shaders into Blender?
Most Cyberpunk shaders are procedurally generated from mlsetups and mlmasks. As such, there aren't any textures that you can import.
So how is everyone doing it?
This is where the Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite comes in:
On export, Wolvenkit creates a
.material.json
file containing the.mesh
file's material setup in a machine-readable form.When importing a .glb into Blender, the plugin reads this file and automatically generates a list of materials. After selecting a mesh, you can see all available options in the Materials tab:
