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 Head material as an example. The mesh is divided into three region by the black, red and green 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.
