Material Masks | Errant Worlds

📄️ Introduction

Material Masks are graphs that control the logic of how and where Species/Sub-Biome spawns.

You can use all unreal nodes in the graph, just as when creating material keeping just a few limitations in mind.

Biomes plugin provides special metadata parameter nodes that will be automatically set while generating.

Errant Biomes comes with library of helper nodes for common operations.

Custom Material Masks can be used to offline generate data using the convenience of Biomes material masks.

You can use the output of other material masks as a parameter for your material mask.

Material parameters added in material masks will be automatically represented in their owner(species, sub-biome, custom-mask etc).

The best way to preview what your mask is doing is to go into Material Mask Debug Tool by selecting it on the toolbar while in Biomes mode.
