UE4 tiling textures with painter masks

KirilZangagolev · Oct 2019

I am doing this boat with a master material where you use tiling textures and export masks from substance painter to separate them and make the object unique. But the boat is 12x5m and the painter mask on the unique uv set gets blurry at 2k and in the images its enlarged to 4k. How do I have the mask higher res without exporting it at 8k

Feed the mask through some rounding operation in the material editor (floor, round, ceil, if, etc). Subtracting a value from it before the rounding would give you control over the width of the mask. You also probably don't even need 2k res. You will see why, after applying the rounding.

Hi. Try to add noise to edge of your mask. Sometimes it is works.

Instead of those expensive functions, you could simply subtract the noise from the mask for better effect.
