The Complete Eidos Edge Bundle From Blockout to Game-Ready

01What's in your download

03Install in five minutes

Install in this order, then restart Blender once at the end.

1. Handy. Blender 4.2 or newer: Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions > the arrow at the top right > Install from Disk > Handy-1.0.0.zip. On Blender 4.0 or 4.1: Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, then the same zip. If an older Handy is installed, remove it first.
2. MatricX PRO. Install one of the two PRO zips the same way. Never enable the classic add-on and the extension at the same time.
3. The MatricX asset pack. Extract MatricX_Assets_2.1.0.zip to a normal folder (for example Documents). In the 3D View press N, open the MatricX PRO tab, expand Runtime Assets and click Locate Asset Pack. Select the extracted MatricX_Assets_2.1.0 folder — MatricX remembers it.
4. MatricX Bake. Install one of the two Bake zips. The extension asks for two permissions: Network (only for the optional MinistryOfFlat download) and Files (to write baked maps and exports).
5. Restart Blender, then check that all three are there (below).

04One model, three add-ons

Here's the whole pipeline on one hard-surface prop: model it with Handy, texture it with MatricX PRO, then bake it into a game-ready asset with MatricX Bake.

Step 1 · Model

Handy

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+H. Under Create, place a cube, cylinder or sphere on the surface under the mouse — Ctrl+Click to cut, Shift+Click to add. The cutters stay live.
2. When the shape is right, run Smart Boolean: it applies the Booleans, cleans up the result and shades it by angle.
3. Use Select Seam to pick the seam, then Offset Cut to add support loops on both sides of it.
4. Fix bevels with UnBevel, inset panels with Smart Inset, and finish with Clean Up.

Step 2 · Texture

MatricX PRO

1. Select the mesh, press N and open the MatricX PRO tab.
2. Pick a Family (for example Metal), click a material in the collection, then click Apply Material.
3. Add imperfection layers — Edge Wear, Dirt, Rust or any of the 16 types — and tune Amount and Opacity. Paint masks by hand where wear should go.
4. Place decals from the Decal pie (Ctrl+Shift+D). Save the result as a Material Look to reuse it on every prop in the set.

Step 3 · Bake & export

MatricX Bake

The panel is numbered in the order you work: 1 Prepare UVs > 2 Bake Maps > 3 Decals > 4 Combine > 5 Final Bake > 6 Export. Steps 3–6 are optional.

1. Select the object or collection, press N and open the MatricX Bake tab.
2. Prepare UVs if the model has none, or to share one atlas across several objects (One Texture Set).
3. Choose the maps under Material Bake, click Check, then Bake. Click Setup Baked Material to see the result.
4. Placed decals? Bake them in step 3, then Combine and Final Bake. No decals? Go straight to export.
5. Game Asset Export packages the model and textures as FBX or GLB for Unity, Unreal or Godot.

05Shortcuts

Change Handy's hotkeys in Edit > Preferences > Handy: click a hotkey and press the key you want.

07Your tier, licence & support
