Instancing Layered Materials
Hi Polycount! I was wondering if anyone could share some knowledge on how I could go about making a material that can be instanced, and within that material I could plug different existing materials (like tiling wood, tiling rock or metal, etc) and use a mask or multiple masks to control where each material is placed.

Re: How many material IDs can you have?

By default, the materials will… -
