V2.6
This is a big one! Extile non-repetitive functions can now be used with Unreal's powerful and flexible layered material system. Using material layers you can now stack as many layers/masks as you want using the 11 X built in material blends. Great for creating non-destructive, non-repetitive workflows for any project -solo to professional!
Material layers have been enabled in the project settings under Rendering features. It is on by default from 4.26 and above (Video link below)
(*Also found in Exsite)
V2.5
Masking refinements in the special non-repetitive compact functions allowing for Z height and grout masking capabilities
V2.4
There's an Exbomb II now giving you even more options and possibilities
V2.3.1
+The "baby" of the family - Exbomb - in the special materials section now comes with added overlay layer and an additional material setup with optional wetness parameters.
V2.2
+Two new non-aligned patterned compact functions plus their master materials. The functions come in pairs for easy stacking and for non-conflicting naming conventions.
V2.1
+ Two new non-repetitive compact material functions and master materials with integrated masks, advanced color randomization (based on object position in Org) that optionally work with atlas textures and channel packed versions as well. The functions are very concise and therefore easy for more modular material setups.
+ One new Org-seamless function (a combination of two existing functions for special cases)
V2.0
EXTILE was created to eliminate the ugly repetitiveness associated with tiling textures. Using random algorithms it can eliminate repetitiveness in both geometric and organic type textures. EXTILE PLUS allows you to create many surface effects that would otherwise require more complicated workflows giving you endless possibilities with just one material and one texture set. A Special folder includes continuously updated advanced material creations using non-repetitive functions.
Features include: Staggered and non-staggered geometric randomization ability, seamless organic randomization materials, any color ID selection, atlas material functions used with randomization functions, grout definition and normal application, color effects, multiple cutout effects, backside surface with texture effects, texture-less random displacement effects, a UV pattern generator letting you create chevron style patterns and circular configurations, second texture set blend, height based dirt, z-up puddles, texture baking and more.
EXTILE is dissected in functions letting you create your own non-repetitive materials.
* All materials and functions are compatible with ue5 early release (sans displacement/tessellation which is currently not supported in ue5 early release)
