separate

Use when texturing, shading or look-developing in Blender: building a PBR material from a texture set, displacement, procedural materials, edge wear, dirt, grime, color variation, decals, box or triplanar mapping on meshes without UVs, stylized character skin (subsurface, pores), eyes and cornea, hand-painted stylized textures, texture painting or painting masks headless. Also when a material looks plastic, CG, waxy or blown out, color spaces are wrong, or EEVEE and Cycles disagree.

When to use

• building PBR material from texture set
• displacement and procedural materials
• edge wear, dirt, grime, and color variation
• decals and box or triplanar mapping
• stylized character skin, eyes, and cornea
• hand-painted stylized textures
• texture painting or painting masks headless
• fixing plastic, CG, waxy, or blown out materials

When not to use

• lighting and final renders
• baking maps
