Latest patch notes: https://williamfaucher.gumroad.com/p/easymapper-v1-1-patch-notes-09e377da-cc72-460e-b118-8ecf4fd79259FAB UPDATE:With the introduction of FAB, some changes have been made to Megascans textures/materials. Previously Megascans used the ARD (Ambient Occlusiuon, Roughness, Displacement) approach for texture packing. With the arrival of FAB, this has been changed to ORM (Occlusion, Roughness, Metallic), and Displacement maps are a separate map. EasyMapper has now been updated in order to address this change, which includes a new Master Material with the _FAB suffix. You will find this in its respective FAB folder named "M_EasyMapper_MASTER_FAB" and "M_EasyMapper_MASTER_FAB_VT" if you are using virtual textures, respectively.Learn about such changes and how to find displacement maps for your surfaces here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y29jijP6AKA&feature=youtu.be

With Easy Mapper, you can project tileable, world-aligned textures across any surface, combined with Nanite displacement, without needing UV’s on your models. EasyMapper’s material instances are cleanly organized for easy art direction, and with a few clicks, you will be able to texture entire levels in moments, and give your models the detail they deserve.

You can toggle between World-Aligned (Triplanar) texture projection, giving you full control over the size/scale of your texture projection. Or you can use your “regular” UV mapping on your models if needed.

With the help of Nanite tessellation/displacement, you can also displace your models using height/displacement maps.

To top it all off, you can add realism to your models by blending up to 3 different materials with the help of advanced Vertex Blending, with full blend controls using the height/displacement data of the materials to ensure realistic blending.

Designed and intended for Cinematics usage.

*Nanite is not strictly necessary for EasyMapper, but tesselation/displacement won’t work if Nanite is disabled on a given model.

*Nanite Displacement/Tessellation will not work with Pathtracing, as Pathtracing does not utilize Nanite.

* Disclaimer: Nanite Tessellation/Displacement does not currently seem to work on Mac or AMD graphics cards as of Unreal Engine 5.3. This is an engine issue, not related to EasyMapper.
