[Solved] Import Quixel Megascans material

[davide445]

Want to test some of the Megascans materials, downloading them using the metalness workflow it's clear where to import albedo and normal textures, wanted some suggestion how to prepare the shader material, i. E. the "rustic metal mesh" material.

Hi Davide,

Shading texture is a combination of following layers:

• The R channel stores a metalness texture.
• The G channel stores a roughness texture.
• The B channel stores a specular texture.
• The A channel stores a microfiber texture.

So you need to create a final texture in this format somehow (maybe prepare in 3rd party tool first).

Thanks!

Just to say it's easy done in ShaderMap Pro (of course Qixel Mixer and Substance Designer are more capable, but this sw is a little easy to use gem in my opinion)
