Re: Substance designer in UE4 vs UE4 material editor
I believe so, it bakes down its node-graph at runtime. It is lickly heavily tied into the material instance system of unreal, and bakes down the textures and creates a new material instance for every varration you mode from one network. Be too expensive otherwise, since large networks in substance dseginer take upwards of… -
