Question regarding masking (substance painter)

MikeF · Nov 2014

So i'm looking at a few tutorials before i buy substance painter and i noticed that you can have a separate mask image to define different materials using the ID_Selector filter. With this system can i have my own pallet defined or am i limited to the default 16 colors.

And if i am limited, is there an RGB # reference sheet for the 16 presets so that i can bake out a color map using the proper color values?

Thanks!

I used multi-material blend node and there you can use any colors in your material ID image. There is color picker for each mat.

Right now, it is limited to 16 colors per layer mask, but since you can have any number of masks in your layer stack, there is no real limit. The colors can be customized and color-picked from the ID map.
We are working on a much better way to handle this though.

Ok thanks for the info!

I'm switching over from ddo so being able to set up base materials via color mask would be a huge plus in the workflow

You could just chain 2 of those Multi-Material Blends together, with a little bit of extra masking it can be made to work.
