At work my department has recently been given the pretty press release renders (usually we mainly do realtime) and im looking for some archviz materials that i can use daily for photorealistic renders. Can anyone point me in the right direction of some decent packs?
Thanks
Jack

I bought these and they do 90% of the work and look great - I use them as a base and change out the textures if I need. So far saved me so much time and they look amazing!

Sigershaders has several undeniably good materials and base materials for more complicated setups but I would still not be too hesitant to buy. "692 Corona material presets and templates." for example is misleading since if you browse through the materials you'll notice there's a base for various material types that is been used repeatedly just changing the diffuse color and counting that as a new material. It's all good stuff and growing but I find the ethics a bit lacking when you have 30 materials under the category Stucco / Plaster and it's actually the same one just with a different hue.

Yeah i was sceptical as soon as i saw that most of them looked like autodesk presets.
Ive been looking at the arroway packs and stuff. Im after some packs with the really common modern building materials and stuff really.
Nothing fancy but enough that its photoreal and tiling isnt detectable. We have to be fairly fast paced with these so its a good thing our machines are beefy.
I was maybe thinking about Quixel but i dont think its necessary and kind of a bad fit for the job.
