Hi everyone! I’m having a problem that’s driving me crazy, maybe just because I’ve never done it before and I don’t know if it’s possible in Blender. I have an object with only one material assigned. I need to assign multiple materials to it, but not by creating the various materials and assigning…

It uses a black and white mask to mix one or more materials. This method is similar to the mixing of layers in Photoshop. [ - YouTube] A video is an example and there are many ways.

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate your help, but unfortunately the method you explain in the video isn’t what I need. I need to precisely position each material in a specific island of the UV tile. There may even be dozens of UV islands. I can’t figure out how to assign each material to a sp…

Do I understand correctly, you are trying to do something like in this video? [ - YouTube] If that’s correct, then Blender isn’t designed for this workflow. The closest would be to actually assign different materials to faces at first, then bake everything to a single set of textures …

Like this? [image] Tilable texture atlas (like in Blue Prince) Materials and Textures I watched the Blue Prince blender conference talk, and they showed a shader setup that allows you to scale/tile the UV in a texture atlas, while still staying inside the tile/cell you pl…

Thanks for your help. But I already know how to do this in Substance Painter and also apply multiple materials to a texture in Blender. The problem is that I need to have a material for each individual object. Not multiple materials assigned to a single object. So I’d like to know if there’s a wa…

Do just like in the video you linked, except instead of using a noise texture as the factor to mix between different materials, you use a texture that’s hand painted (or vertex colors, might be easier to paint specific faces solid than with an image texture). So basically, it’s the same technique t…

Yes, I could actually do what you say. For now, I’ve solved the problem much more simply. Perhaps I was lost in a teacup. I first baked the textures with the procedural materials created initially, where each individual object can have more than one material assigned to the various sections of the …
