So which is better... decals or inserts? My guess would be inserts. Inserts provide actual geo, therefore displacement (not just bump), and would then probably look more realistic. Also, when creating new inserts, can I assume no baking? No height maps, etc. Decals are super cool too, no doubt, but these inserts look stunning. I was tempted to say that decals can wrap around a corner/curve and that an insert cannot because it's a 3D model, but at the end of this video, an insert dropped directly onto a spheroid surface and it deformed perfectly to match, so... wow.
@PonteRyuurui4 жыл бұрын
You are asking wrong question, the right question would be which one is better in what situation. Decals are fast, and if of good quality it is very hard to tell if it is geo or decal, they are also super low on geo. You need both. I use decals way more than inserts, but I have good quality decals.

Very interresting and cool video. I bought the material system a while back , but never really used it that much. Originally i thought i would render more in blender , but my focus now is more on using the Unreal Engine, create stuff in blender but export them to unreal and use unreal materials. But who knows after seeing this video i might even give it a try again. At least for some fast renders or so. Thanks for another cool video. 👍

You know what would be great? If we could stack and mix some of those dirt/grime/etc materials (with a shortcut like shift click on add or another button), something that adds mix shaders automatically or something. It would be similar to how substance designer/painter works. Because my only gripe with what has been shown (which is still amazing mind you) is that it’s only seem to be modifying the base color of the whole PBR material... it would be amazing if we could mix a full PBR set. Example: start with plastic (which puts all the base color, metal, roughness, etc values), then add a dirt layer (bottom up, bottom down, noise based, cavities base or whatever) with it’s own set of color/roughness/normal with a slider to mix how much ‘surface normal’ to take from the base layer too. This would effectively add a ‘real’ dirt layer on top of the plastic. Maybe then add some ‘scratches’ which would revel some metal dents (a metal color with, again, low roughness, high specular, full metalness, etc)
@PonteRyuurui4 жыл бұрын
well you can add dirt layer with kitops via dirty shaders
@bill3924 жыл бұрын
That was very cool, now I wanna buy it. Question, when you dropped the last insert, I noticed that the entire insert inherited the material from the surface on which it was dropped. Is it possible for the inserts to have or carry in their own materials? I would expect so, like if an insert contained a chrome screw head or a lighted LED or a glass lens, we'd want to see that.

The reason these are focused on EEVEE, (besides the fact I prefer rendering in EEVEE which ryuu can tell you later the reasons why), is that gpu memory used for EEVEE rendering can fill up really fast, and once filled, your scene can have no more textures. So, my "one shader to rule" EEVEE materials focuses on creating great textures with minimal memory to maximize speed, quantity and quality. All except the glass shaders should work well in cycles. Glass is particularly hard in EEVEE and that why I have EEVEE only specific materials. For cycles, just use glass BSDF and you should be good.
