Closed Texture Settings

This section contains the basic texture channels.

Closed Global Settings

This section contains settings for Normal, AO and Displacement textures shown in the previous section.

  • Normal Strength: This slider sets the strength of the normal effect on the skin.

    Normal Strength = 0.00

    Normal Strength = 1.00

  • Normal Opacity: This slider defines the opacity of the normal texture overlapping on the skin.
  • AO Opacity: This section contains settings for Normal, AO and Displacement textures shown in the previous section.
  • Displacement Strength: This section contains settings for the Black regions defined by the ColorID texture shown in the previous section.

Regional Settings for Black, Red and Green

In the Texture Settings section, there is a channel named ColorID which is used to divide the meshes into different regions for individual modifications.

Take the Body material as an example. The mesh is divided into three region by the black, and red colors.

These regions then can be separately adjusted with the sections in the following image.

ClosedNote:

The amount and the names of the sections are identical to the amount and names of the colors in the ColorID texture.

Settings in the Region Sections

Basically, the number of the settings in these sections are same. The difference is that the settings affect different region defined by the ColorID texture. These settings are divided into different groups: Base Color, Color Balance, Roughness and Metallic.

  • Base Color and Color Balance: Influences the color tone of the Base Color texture.

    Brightness = -0.05, Hue = -0.05, Saturation = 0.05

    Magenta - Green = 5, Cyan - Red = -10, Yellow -Blue = 5

  • Roughness: The settings in this group influence the Roughness texture, which defines the coarse of the surface.

    Brightness = 0

    Contrast = 0

    Brightness = -1.00

    Contrast = 1.00

  • Metallic: The settings in this group defines the reflectivity on the surface.

    Brightness = 0

    Contrast = 0

    Brightness = 1.00
