Making it straight PBR editable is likely never going to happen, and making variant texture maps for the various channels would require an amount of work to make it incredibly unlikely.

#SUBSTANCE PAINTER GAMEBRYO ENGINE UPDATE#

DE would also get no profit from such an update specifically, making the idea, just like the PBR idea now, take a back seat to content that encourages players to join or stay active in the game. The time scale you are looking at is measured in years. With the number of texture artists DE can spare for the PBR project as it stands now and how long it takes then to get each new batch of assets out, you can imagine how long it would take for them to remake every skin, or even just the default non prime and prime skins to have these options. It would also in some instances require the high poly model, which is where the normals map comes from, to be modified beforehand so as to prepare the mesh surface to not have details that inherently depict a certain material's properties. I used: В when I started out and it covers most of the basics for anyone interested (and also to shut down even more derailment).ДЄnd as my original comment stated, this would require the existing skins to be remade to allow those functions and variant maps to let them be faded or toggled to change the appearance of color map areas. There is absolutely no reason a system could not be set up to stream those in a manner like I suggested that would avoid the need of making completely new skins, all that data is baked in and ready to go already, it's all a matter of accessing it in a new and interesting way.ДЇor clarity's sake, I've dabbled with physically based rendering myself in UE4 and Unity so I knowВ what itВ is and base comprehension of implementing it, not that I'm particularly good at it. While your description of PBR is right (I used the term in a broad sense much the same way DE does to avoid over complicating a simple idea thread.) those 'traditional textures' are still there underneath the rendering channels and hooking into said channels is completely feasible. With the gamebryo/creation engine (Skyrim)В you can specify diffusion, emission, reflectivity, gloss, color and a bevy of other options as well, PBR did not invent those things, it just offers an objectively better and different way of displaying it. Traditional texture sets also have those variables with varying degrees depending on what engine they are being streamed into. I know it isn't possible with the current system, or we'd simply already have it as an option, streaming textures (as the example I intended with the Skyrim mention, nowhere did I state it used PBR itself) also wasn't a thing before it was a thing and that was my entire point, which still stands. I really did not think that creating a suggestion thread would stuff me into an argument of what is or isn't possible and have to defend a simple idea so vehemently because functionality isn't there yet.

This means making a skin with editable material types is not possible with the current system used for Warframe skins. Warframe uses programs like substance designer to paint the materials on the model, replacing the traditional maps with the materials and generating a new texture map from that with the characteristics of the material baked in, meaning it cannot be edited live in the game engine. Skyrim does not use PBR in its rendering engine, it uses traditional texture maps.

PBR channels are materials, not textures of the traditional sense, and they have a branching tree of inputs and variables that control all aspects of them, from how reflective it is, color, diffusion, emission, and damage/weathering/layer details. No, that is not how it works at all when it comes to PBR.

I've made a mod for Skyrim that works in a similar fashion so I know it canВ be done, different engines aside.В The idea is incredibly simple, the execution might be tricky but that certainly hasn't stopped them before. Take into consideration theseВ are already made, the work required is as simple as hooking into the texture library (since they are already separated by primary, secondary, tertiary and accent customization)В and streaming it. This isn't true at all,В theВ way textures function is similar in how colors are displayed.
