Match Material

Description

DecalMaster Materials are Maya StandardSurface materials connected to a node tree that branches into three sub-materials, each of which can be matched to another material:

• Material 1

  The material used to match decals, trims & one side of flows with the material used by the underlying target mesh.

• Subset

  An optional material used for additional material detailing within decals, flows & trims.

• Material 2

  A material used exclusively by flows as a second side material to transition between two different materials used by the underlying target mesh.

When auto matching materials, including when decals, trims & flows are placed, only Material 1 and Material 2 are matched to materials used by the underlying target mesh, Subset is always auto matched to Material 1.
