Noob question: different materials on game characters
So if I have one texture map for a whole character, but I want some parts of it to have really sharp specular (metal/plastic), and some parts to have diffuse, soft specular (skin), can I just use multiple materials but one map? Or is the renderer going to load the map multiple times for each material? Thanks in advance! -
What is the correct workflow for using a baked LP object with a Substance Material?
Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with this. I've entered the artstation environment challenge and I've come across an issue I'm having. I haven't used Designer much before with bespoke objects, but in this instance I'm creating the Wild West scene and I've created some bespoke rock formations. I've unwrapped these rocks… -
Re: How efficient are interior mapping materials?
By the way, does the number of meshes this kind of material applied to make a difference? Is it better to have a cube inside the building with a tiled interior material, or is that no different from each wall piece having this material applied to the window geometry? -
Re: LandScape material (Normal-detail blending)
The error thing is 'normal'. For what ever reason it bugs you just need to go back into your package and double click on the landscape material instance constants. That will refresh the material and get rid of the error message as long as you have the material setup correctly. -

Redirecting the path, I know how to do... so long as the material is named the same... My problem is, the texture file names are using (-) dashes in it's naming… -
Previewing baked textures in material
Hey, So when I bake something, the previewer does apply the normal map to a new material onto a mesh However any other textures are not applied, which is rather annoying, especially if you need to test for alpha for baked planes Could this be fixed? Then also the alpha map that is generated by marmoset does seemingly not… -
Re: help with sword material
Hi there. Curious, what are you using to texture? Seems a lot of your materials are pretty flat and don't have much in the ways of a roughness or metalness map. I suggest reading up a bit on materials. Some great resources here on this site under the Wiki. Also, if you aren't using Substance Painter, I suggest looking into… -
Re: Simple Material Question
Yep, no need theoretically, but... If its still not solved, then you will get shading issues, because of the almost no tangents. but a simple planar mapping can work! Its like 2 clicks. You will need material IDs , if you want to color them differently. Then its also started looking like you need one master material, and… -
