Released: 4 Channel Detail Normal Map Shader for Marmoset Toolbag 3

radiancef0rge

Hey Everyone! 

I am happy to announce my 4 Channel Detail Normal Map shader for Marmoset Toolbag 3 has been released! You can find the link to the shader on Gumroad here https://gumroad.com/l/marmoset_detailnormal . The downloadable zip contains ashader extension allowing for up to 4 detail normal textures masked with a RGBA texture mask to Toolbag 3 shaders. 

Features:

• A texture used to mask associated detail normal maps, red, green, blue and alpha. 
• Independent controls to scale the UV tiling of each detail normal channel.
  

Install Instructions:

1. Download "detail_normal_rgba.zip" from Gumroad
2. Unzip file to your "C:\Program Files\Marmoset\Toolbag 3\data\shader\mat\custom" folder
3. Launch Toolbag 3
4. Select a shader and scroll to the bottom section of the material attributes tab.
5. Click the triangle on the right and select "Custom"
6. Click the triangle next to "Shader" and select "detail_normal_rgba"

Cool thing, indeed)) One little wish - a way to control tiling via selecting a separate uv-set instead of tiling multiplier.

Thank you for this, I bought it. I also happen to have a character project going on where I could use multiple tileable fabric normals on its clothes. Maybe it'll have tileable skin details as well.

@radiancef0rge Quick question: If I don't need all 4 channels, but only some of them, are those unused channels going to be black (opaque) to prevent them to show up, in the "RGBA Detail Mask" texture?

But I guess I can tick those details normal maps off, or just leave those slots empty(?). But it still depends on the project where some of the channels will be unused.

Hey @FourtyNights awesome!

are those unused channels going to be black (opaque) to prevent them to show up, in the "RGBA Detail Mask" texture?

You can disable the channels you don't want to use with the checkbox 'Enable..' Or leave those channels black on the detail mask. Both should work.

Hey Chris, I'm on the verge of buying this one as wel I was just wondering if you could make it possible to have a detail weight for each separate detail map. I would love it for stuff like faces. So I can put a secondary and  tertiary normal map in a seprate slot and have control of the strength in real time.

@Sunray It's already possible. Look at the top, there's an RGBA Detail mask.

Isn't that just for masking where what detail normal will be applied?

Hi! I´m trying to use this shader, but it seems doesn´t work on marmoset 3.04, anyone with the same problem? thanks

Hey Ballo, it should be working. I haven't had any other reports of issues, and I've just confirmed it working on my machine.. Ill follow up on DM.

Nevermind, it looks like there are detail normal maps now.
