SGI Texturing Tools Part 2 - Materials Layering video - Stargate Invasion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
This Sins of a Solar Empire modification brings the various Stargate franchises into the fold. Choose your race as the Tau'ri, Asurans, Goa'uld, Wraith, or Asgard. Build your empire, research technology, command mighty warships, engage in diplomacy, make allies and trade. The Invasion has begun...
This video shows how materials are layered through the new filter and how each channel (Basecolor, Roughness and Metallic) can be mapped with a texture or a substance as well as a simple value. It also shows the way Height can be painted together with Basecolor below the filters to provide masks for the materials and a normal map for other effects above.
All of this is live and can be changed at any time. Height and color IDs can be wiped and all of the filter materials/damage layers above will react to these changes.
