I have a new little tool for ya'll. It's a toggle macroscript to apply the currently active material in the material editor to newly created objects. Auto Material docs and download... [ame=" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig1k4Xcii-0"]Auto Material for 3ds Max - YouTube[/ame]
If one wants to pack UV shells from the same object across multiple UDIM tiles, then one has to apply multiple materials to that one object and assign the corresponding faces to the materials. This is thankfully quite easy in Blender: * Select all objects and enter edit mode (make sure UV sync selection is on) * Roughly…
Hi, I'm working with Megascans Unreal 4 Livelink with Unreal 4 version 4.19.2 - When I click on two material instances, as shown in your instruction videos, and click "Create Material Blend", it merely copies the Master Material with the white default tiles and doesn't carry over any other materials selected. "Reset…
Hello all, Very newbie question, but I've double clicked on a Material Instance, and it's taken me to a big material sphere with some parameters to the right. How do I get to the node editor for this material? Can you only edit nodes for a Material and not a Material Instance? It's a material from Megascans that I exported…
Set up your materials as material functions. Make another material for the combination. Drag and drop the material functions from the asset browser to the material. Link them up using one of the existing material blend functions.

If we have lots of materials and we do iterations of the scene this is not really a practical option. Is there any way to set the default…
Next to the duplicate button on the material pane, is a menu and among other options for materials is import and export. I would like to save the scene and have the material embedded in the file itself in order to distribute. The export option of the material results in a .tbmat file. Not certain what it contains but it…
What would be the best, most durable way to have many versions of assigned materials in one scene, so that I can easily switch between a version of the vehicle with green paint with white plastic and the same model with metal and dark plastic. Making it extra complex is the fact that not all materials will be assigned…

The theory is simple, we will assign different material ID's to the mesh for different materials/textures.Lets try it with a simple box. After you made the box, open up the material editor, and click to "Standard" Then select…
