Add-ons are one of Blender’s cool features, as these may improve the workflow when working with materials and other stuff – sometimes just for visualisation, rendering or baking texture maps. Add-ons for Blender are also sold as digital products, especially at a known marketplace called Blender Market https://blendermarket.com/
One of the material add-ons I use is Extreme PBR by Andrew_D. Extreme PBR is a powerful add-on that allows users to quickly add material to a mesh object such as a cube—or whatever 3D mesh surface/object is available inside the active Blender scene.
For an add-on to work correctly inside Blender, it must be downloaded and installed inside Blender or by reading the installation instructions.
