Settings for Standard Materials

Tint

Opens the Color picker, where you can tint the base color texture.

Grunge

Overlays the base color texture with an additional predefined grunge texture.

Options: 0 to 100%

Luminosity

Makes the color darker or brighter. Values lower than 50% darken the color, and values higher than 50% brighten the color.

By default, the value is set to 50%, which has no effect on the luminosity.

Options: 0 to 100%

Texture

A user-defined texture that defines the base color and pattern of the material.

You can also specify the Saturation, Gamma, Lift, and Gain values of the texture.

Saturation

Defines the color intensity of the base color texture.

By default, the value is 1.0.

Options: 0.0 to 2.0*

Gamma

Adjusts the luminance curve (gamma values) of the base color texture.

By default, the value is 1.0.

Options: 0.1 to 2.0*

Gamma > RGB

RGB

Lift

Raises and lowers the dark tones of the base color texture.

By default, the value is 0.0.

Options: -1.0* to 1.0

Lift > RGB

RGB

Offers granular control over individual red, green, and blue channels.

Gain

Adjusts the bright tones of the base color texture.

By default, the value is 1.0.

Options: 0.0 to 2.0*

Gain > RGB

RGB

Offers granular control over individual red, green, and blue channels.

Triplanar

If enabled, this setting automatically projects textures onto the surfaces of objects that do not have UV mapping or incorrect UV mapping.

Triplanar mapping can be applied in World space or Local space:

• In World space, textures are projected onto surfaces following the orientation of the X, Y, and Z axes of the world reference coordinate system.

• In Local space, textures are applied in the same way as world space but are aligned to the local orientation of objects. This is useful to avoid texture sliding when moving objects or to improve projection alignment on rotated objects.

Options: Off, World space, Local space

Triplanar off

Triplanar on

Randomize UV

Randomizes the UV tiling of materials. This can be useful when you want to avoid repeating the tiling pattern on a material that is used on a large surface area.

To use it, select the material on an object or surface in the scene and enable the setting.

We recommend using this setting only for organic materials such as grass, dirt, and rocks. Using this setting on materials with geometric patterns can result in visible artifacts.

Randomize UV off

Randomize UV on

Rotation

Adjusts the orientation of the base color texture by degrees.

By default, the value is 0°.

Options: 0° to 359°

Scale

Reduces or increases the scale of the pattern on the base color texture.

By default, the value is 1.00.

By default, the value is 1.00.

Options: 0.10* to 10.00*

Stretch on Y

Stretches the base color texture vertically.

By default, the value is 1.00.

Options: 0.10* to 10.00*

Offset X

By default there is no movement, and the value is 0.00.

Options: 0.00 to 10.00

Intensity

Defines how light is scattered on surfaces.

By default, Intensity is set to 0%.

Options: 0 to 100%

Texture

A user-defined texture that is used to simulate the roughness or smoothness of a material. It is a grayscale image, where white represents full roughness and black represents high gloss.

Invert

If enabled, reverts the black and white values of the Roughness texture.

Specular

Adjusts the amount of specular contribution.

Options: 0% to 100%

Enable

Enables the clear coat effect which adds a thin translucent layer of film over the surface of a material.

Roughness

Adjusts the surface finish of the clear coat. Typically the value is low or 0% to ensure a glossy finish. To achieve a matte finish over a metallic base coat increase the value.

By default, the value is 5%.

Options: 0 to 100%

Opacity

Adjusts the visibility of the clear coat. Reducing the visibility is similar to reducing the thickness of the clear coat layer. A very thin clear coat layer has less visible impact over the underlying surface.

By default, the value is 75%.

Options: 0 to 100%

Intensity

Defines the degree to which the Metallic texture has an effect.

By default, the value is 0%.

Options: 0 to 100%

Texture

A user-defined texture that is used to simulate materials that have metallic properties. It is a grayscale image where the white parts represent full metal (100%) and the black parts represent non-metal.

Invert

If enabled, inverts the black and white values of the Metallic texture.

Intensity

Defines the intensity of the Normal texture.

By default, the value is 0%.

Options: 0 to 100%

Normal texture intensity (Click image to expand).

Normal map

A user-defined texture that provides surface details and creates the illusion of depth by simulating bumps, scratches, and imperfections.

Invert

Changes how the texture is interpreted when rendered.

By default, the DirectX format is used.

Options: On (OpenGL), Off (DirectX)

Parallax

If enabled, the parallax Height map texture improves the illusion of depth provided by the Normal map texture.

Height map

A user-defined texture that creates the illusion of depth and height on the surface of materials.

Intensity

Sets the intensity of the Height map texture.

Options: 0 to 100%

Height map reference plane

Adjusts the origin of the parallax effect in relation to the surface of the geometry based on the Height map texture.

The Height map texture is a grayscale image in which white represents the highest point of the parallax effect, and black represents the lowest point.

• When the slider is set to 100\%, the texture is positioned below the surface of the object and the highest parts of the parallax effect (white areas of the texture) are aligned with the surface. In this case, there is no visible parallax effect.

• When the slider is set to 50\%, the texture is positioned directly on the object's surface, and the texture's mid-gray areas are aligned with the surface.

• When the slider is set to 0\%, the texture is positioned above the object's surface and the texture's lowest parts (black areas) are aligned with the surface.

Options: 0 to 100\%

Intensity

Sets the intensity of the Ambient Occlusion (AO) texture.

Intensity

Sets the intensity of the Luminance filter.

By default, the nit value is 0.0.

Options: 0.0 nits to 100000.0 nits

RGB

Offers granular control over individual red, green, and blue channels.

Dusk to dawn

Automatically enables or disables the emissive effect depending on the time of day.

When selected, the emissive effect is disabled at dawn and enabled at dusk. This can be useful for transitioning scenes between day and night when using the Emissive setting to simulate lighting.

For this effect to be noticeable, the intensity of the Emissive setting must be higher than 0.0nits.

Use mask

Enables or disables the opacity mask in the base color texture (if the base color texture has an opacity mask) or the Opacity map (if an opacity map is in use).

The opacity mask in the base color texture and the Opacity map texture define which parts of the base color texture are transparent.

Use opacity map

Enables or disables the Opacity map texture.

Opacity map

A user-defined texture that defines the material's opaque and transparent areas. It is a grayscale image, where the light and dark tones show or hide degrees of opacity.

You can use this texture if the base color texture does not contain an opacity mask.

Invert

If enabled, inverts the black and white values of the opacity mask (if it is present in the alpha channel of the base color texture) and the user-defined Opacity map texture.

Enabled

Enables or disables the x-ray material. When enabled, an x-ray material is displayed on top of the material.

By default, the setting is disabled.

Color

Opens the Color picker, where you can define the color of the x-ray material.

Opacity

Adjusts the opacity of the x-ray material.
