Re: Answered: changing "pattern overlay" style on a material
Changing the material is done via selecting the material orb in the layer and choosing a new material. Changing the masking pattern itself is done via DynaMask. I have a full write-up for texturing in DDO that you might find useful: https://quixel.se/tutorial/vehicular-hard-surface-detailing-using-quixel-ddo/ -
Re: Stylized Grass Material (Feedback are welcome)
Also, check out screenshots of Fortnite. Maybe that's not the exact style you meant to go for, but I think that hyper-colorful, high contrast look is kind of the thing you should lean more towards with stylized materials like this.

UE4 material colors based on factions ?
Hi guys I want to know how games deal(efficiently) with materials that are completely the same except their color. Think of an RTS like AOE : definitive edition or AC Odyssey(image below).

Converting material ID maps in to black and white maps

I was wondering if anyone knows of a method in 3dsmax of using 3d lights to alternate the texture or material of an objects surface. For a while,… -

Answered: Weird looking glass material in Quixel Suite
Hi there, I am having problems with Quixel Suites materials which usually work great, but sometimes I get something like the Glass Window material. So far I found nothing remotely similar in postings online, so it might as well just be a problem on my computer / software. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? (This is… -
Re: Material Editor lost in the void - Max
Funnilly enough I had something very similar two days ago - I temporarily switched from dual to single screen, material editor displayed fine but as soon as I clicked a material slot it was instant crash. I could drag and drop textures to the slots, but couldnt fetch them manually. Reason was, the material type window… -
Draw Calls Vs Material Instances
I'm starting work on an environment with a surrounding cityscape and I'm debating how to approach it. I know I want to create most of it in "building blocks" (haaa!) but I'm wondering if it would be better to approach it with CSG or static meshes. If I do it with CSG, the scene will likely have more draw calls (because…
