Just wanted to share one quick time-saver tip I learnt recently by accident: You can quickly set up a whole PBR material auto-assigning all textures to corresponding slots by just drag-and-dropping all textures from explorer onto a thumbnail of the material in Material Tab. Filenames should follow the following structure:…
I was wondering how the Cryengine material editor is set up. I know it's basically an uber-shader with checkboxes and stuff, but is there any sort of node editor with extra options? For a sci-fi scene I'm about to start, I'd like to do something with multimaps and colors(like using constants to add color to a mask…
Okay im not sure if Im doing this right or if its the best workflow. I have a mesh with diffuse, spec, normal textures are 1024 each. I have parts of the mesh that are lights that will need to be turned on and off in kismet. I've isolated the lights parts and put them in a alpha channel and exported a 1024 32 bit targa. Is…
Hi, I'am planning a level inside ue4 and I would like to use vertex painting on walls to blend multiple materials together. I do know that I'll need a fair amount of vertexes to have nice results when blending the materials, but, should I disable LODs for assets that will have vertex painting ?
Is it possible to change colours or materials on the fly in the online viewer? I'd like to show different colour and material combos if that's possible. Such as a dropdown to pick the different ones. Even if its not possible through Marmoset on its own, does anybody know a way to intergrate it with something else to create…
Hi, I have been confused trying to bake from a high poly model to a low poly by matching material ids to avoid intersecting. I know that if you have a single mesh in the high poly model and that same mesh is separate pieces in the low poly, you have to match that up by assigning them the same color. For example, if you…

Hopefully this image will explain whats going on. as you can see one part has a texture and the…
Is anybody know how to setup 3dsmax objects default material and colors settings?? well for Objects Color we can do it by disable assign random color on command panel. But how about the materials? ie Difuse color, specular, and bump amount? especially bump amount, i don't get it why it's always on 30 :/
Hello! I noticed that in raster renderer when you turn on local diffuse it doesn't work with transmission materials. Is it normal or oversight? Especially bummer if you have skin material applied to the character, everything else gets bounced lights aside from skin and hair parts. I know that ray tracing does the job, but…
