Answered: Masking pattern location

Keytay

Where do I put my own custom masking patterns so i can see them in the material/mask browser?

Also I know Megascans isnt available yet but are there any new smart materials anywhere that I can purchase? Needing some variety fast and my own attempts look pretty crappy compared to your scanning tech. My normal maps in particular.

Hey Keytay! By custom masking patterns, are you referring to custom DynaMask presets? If so, that's done from the DynaMask menu -> Save Preset.

Sorry I should have been more clear. I've made a texture (black and white pattern that I'd like to use as a mask) Where do I save that texture on my hard drive so it shows up in the 'masking patterns' list where all the others are, like Animal, Camouflage, Decay etc.  Hope that makes sense.

Oh, I see now! You'll need to load that as a custom Material. You can use the base map with no additional maps, and then apply that material inside of the Suite once it's done being processed.

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Thank you very much.
