Bitmap to Material Light

Bitmap to Material Light

In: Material Filters/1-Click

Intermediate

Description

This node converts a single Diffuse/Basecolor input into a full material. As the simple, “light” version of Allegorithmic’s fully fledged Bitmap2Material, which can be purchased separately, it gives you a bit of a taste of the full version. It can work well for simpler cases.

While not guaranteed to result in perfect, PBR-correct materials, it is a good and quick way to get started if you only have a single image and want a full material.

Parameters

• Channels

  • Toggles material channels on and off in this group, for example when using Specular/Glossiness maps instead of Metallic/Roughness.

• Global

  • Depth Balance: -1.0 - 1.0Sets a bias/shift for the Heightmap.

• Diffuse

  • Sharpen: 0.0 - 1.0Adds sharpening to the diffuse result.
  • Hue: 0.0 - 1.0Tints diffuse with a user-selected Hue shift.
  • Saturation: 0.0 - 1.0Modifies saturation of Diffuse result.
  • Brightness: 0.0 - 1.0Adjusts Diffuse result brightness.
  • Contrast: -1.0 - 1.0
    Adjusts the contrast of the result.

• Relief
  The Relief group controls both Normal and Height outputs.

  • Output Normal Format: DirectX, OpenGLSwitches between Normal formats (flips green).
  • Invert Generated Relief: False/TrueInverts interpretation of height.
  • Normal Strength: 0.0 - 20.0Sets strength of generated Normalmap.
  • Relief Equalizer: 0.0 - 1.0Sets conversion balances for different detail scales.
  • Pinch Intensity: 0.0 - 1.0Makes Normal transitions sharper. Effectively adds a sharpening filter before converting to normal, making the edges more pronounced.
  • Normal Sharpen: 0.0 - 1.0Sharpens Normalmap after conversion, brings out the details.
  • Normal Soften: 0.0 - 1.0Softens Normalmap after conversion, hides details.

• Specular

  • Specular Diffuse Influence: 0.0 - 1.0Sets influence of diffuse on Specular. Affects Glossiness and Roughness outputs as well.
  • Specular Saturation: 0.0 - 1.0Changes saturation for Specular output.
  • Specular Sharpen: 0.0 - 1.0Sharpens Specular output.
  • Specular Levels In: 0.0 - 1.0Sets input levels for Specular interpretation.
  • Specular Levels Out: 0.0 - 1.0Modifies output levels of Specular.
  • Metallic Specular Influence: 0.0 - 1.0Determines influence of the optional Metallic input on Specular map.

• Glossiness

  • Glossiness Levels In: 0.0 - 1.0Sets input levels for Glossiness interpretation.
  • Glossiness Levels Out: 0.0 - 1.0Modifies Glossiness output levels.
  • Metallic Glossiness Influence: 0.0 - 1.0Determines influence of the optional Metallic input on Glossiness map.

• Roughness

  • Roughness Levels In: 0.0 - 1.0Sets input levels for Roughness interpretation.
  • Roughness Levels Out: 0.0 - 1.0Modifies Roughness output levels.
  • Metallic Roughness Influence: 0.0 - 1.0Determines influence of the optional Metallic input on Glossiness map.

• Ambient Occlusion

  • Ambient Occlusion In Diffuse: 0.0 - 1.0Blends in generated AO into Diffuse output.
  • Ambient Occlusion Spread: 0.0 - 1.0Sets how far generated AO spreads.
  • Ambient Occlusion Light Distance: 0.0 - 1.0Sets AO “depth” interpretation. Has less influence when there is a large Spread.
  • Ambient Occlusion Light Angle: 0.0 - 1.0Sets fake lighting AO cast angle. Can be used to compensate for any directional AO already in the Diffuse, if set to an opposite angle.
  • Ambient Occlusion Levels: 0.0 - 1.0Modifies AO output levels.
