Cycle through multiple PolyHaven materials on a product and render each variant. Great for showing color/finish options. Trigger when asked to show material variants, swap textures, create color options, show finish comparisons, or render product in different materials.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# PolyHaven Material Swap

Applies multiple PolyHaven PBR textures to the same object one by one and renders each — perfect for showing product finish variants (matte black, glossy white, brushed metal, marble, etc.).

> Adapted for claude-3d-harness. The original ran a bundled Node script that opened Blender's add-on socket itself and
> sent it Python built from command-line text; it also switched Blender's Cycles device preferences for the whole
> machine. The same steps now go through the MCP server, and the preferences are left alone. See
> `docs/security-review.md`.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| `object` | Blender object name | **required** |
| `textures` | PolyHaven texture IDs | **required** (or use a preset) |
| `output` | Folder for the rendered images | `<JOB_DIR>/variants` |
| `preset` | Texture set: metals, woods, stones, fabrics | none |
| `resolution` | Texture resolution: 1k, 2k | `2k` |
| `render_width` / `render_height` | Render size | `1920` x `1080` |
| `samples` | Render samples | `64` |

## Presets

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-786/claude-3d-harness/polyhaven-material-swap@sha256:882e61228b80fa14

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.86ed6ee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
