Update 6, 2/10/20

SoMuchMaterials is a collection of material generators for Substance Painter to fast track hand painted looks from baked high poly models. The package currently includes these generators:

SoMuchMaterials gets 2 new generators!

• SoMuchOverlays: Diffuse output to push color into your materials quickly!
• SoMuchWarframe: Diffuse, Metal, Roughness, Tint and Emissive outputs.
• SMM_SoMuchRoughness: Diffuse, Metal and roughness texture outputs!
• SMM_SoMuchSpecular: Diffuse, Specular and Gloss texture outputs!
• SMM_SoMuchDiffuse: Material baked down to Diffuse texture only!
• SMM_SoMuchDota2: Diffuse, Metallic, Emissive, Specular, Glossiness, Detail, Fresnel, Rim light, and Tint Specular texture outputs specifically meant for DOTA 2 character pipeline.

Thickness Color: Sets the color blended in by the thickness feature.

Thickness Spread: Sets the contrast of the thickness mask.

Specular

Enable Specular: Turns on and off ALL settings in the specular features

Enable WSN Mask: Turns on and off the World Space underside mask. This mask is used to restrict the specular highlight from lighting the underside of a model.

Number of Lights: Sets the number of lights used in the light rig. 18 are valid settings, decimals will be rounded up. The lights are distributed evenly around the entire model.

Specular Rig Height: Sets the vertical angle of all lights in the light rig.

Specular Light Rotation: Sets the horizontal rotation of all lights in the light rig.

Specular Color: Sets the color of the base specular highlight.

Specular Intensity: Sets opacity of all specular features.

Specular Exponent: Sets the gloss value of the base specular highlight.

Use Roughness Slider: (SoMuchRoughness only) Override the preset roughness values to give yourself a base intensity slider. Use Roughness Slider: (SoMuchRoughness only) Override the preset roughness values to give yourself a base intensity slider

Effects

Spread: Contrast of the specular cavity feature.

Edges

Enable Specular Edge: Turns on and off the specular edge feature.

Edge Color: Sets the color of the specular edge highlight feature.

Edge Exponent: Sets the gloss value of the specular edge feature.

DOTA (SMM_DOTA ONLY)

Metalness

Override Base Metalness: Enables Metalness Intensity.

Edge Spread: Contrast for the edge highlights in Glossiness.

Tint By Diffuse

Override Base Tint: Enables Tint Intensity.

Tint Intensity: Base value for Tint mask.

Edge Intensity: Opacity of the edge highlights blended into Tint mask.

Rim

Override Base Rim: Enables Rim Intensity.

Rim Intensity: Base value for Rim Mask.

Edge Intensity: Opacity of the edge highlights blended into the Rim mask.

Post Process

Cel Shading

Use Cel Shader: Turns on and off the cel shader features.

Cel Highlight Color: Sets the color multiplied into the highlight side of the cel shading effect.

Cel Shadow Color: Sets the color multiplied into the highlight side of the cel shading effect.

Cel Bias: Sets the center point of the cel shading effect.

Cel Softness: Sets the softness of the shadow edge the cel shader creates.

Highlight HSL

Enable HSL Post: Turns on and off the hue, saturation and lightness post process features.

Hue: Shifts the hue of the isolated range.

Saturation: Shifts the saturation of the isolated range.

Lightness: Shifts the lightness of the isolated range.

Highlight Clip: Isolates the range above this value for hue, saturation and lightness.

Highlight Contrast: Sets the contrast of the isolated range.

Override

Override Use Baked Lighting: When this is on, the texture will be baked into a single diffuse texture. When off, it currently splits into Diffuse/Specular/Gloss

Override Gloss: The slider will change the value range used for your gloss. Only edit this if your gloss values are coming into your engine of choice too bright or dark.  You should not have to touch this. Also note: this material needs to be the same on each material so you get consistent gloss.

Override Use Baked Spec: Enable to get heavy handed lighting mask into your spec. Useful for tinkering with extreme styles.
