Also do BDRF materials take longer time to render? Btw,I understand… -
Base Material nodes ignoring Roughness/Height
I must be missing something about how base material nodes work. I've created a base material node and hit 'View in 3D'. I have a heightmap, but it doesn't seem to show up in the 3D view, nor does the output for the base material have the heightmap I've plugged into the input. The roughness slider of the base material also… -
Re: Change baker preview material default settings?
