Material Regions - Workflow Presets & Data Mapping by Jens Kafitz







Different Artists and Studios have different kinds of Channel Requirements.

Material Regions come with three default workflow flavours to support a good mixture of Game & Film workflows.


By utilizing the PBR Conversion Nodes you can also convert between workflows, giving you the freedom

to work in your preferred system and only worry about outputting the pipeline standard at the end.


Regions all have a common data chain (INPUT / OUTPUT) that is used to transfer data between regions.

For information, the mapping of Material Attributes to the different Inputs & Outputs is included below with each workflow.
