I'm using 2020.1 R2 . I haven't had any issues downloading materials from LiveDB. But when I try to download the procedural Textures nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong?

Downloading to where? You should have some materials in node editor because they're texture and should be owned by a material.

Hi,
since they are Textures nodes, not Material nodes, they cannot be download like a Material in the Material Manager, but you simply need to drag and drop them in the node editor of the desired material:

Have you tried to click on the "+" icon to open the Absolute Textures section?

You need to select a category, but at a more close look, it seems that the Procedural Textures section is missing in your plugin, you need to report this to face_off

ciao,
