Tired of manually setting up Specular EEVEE materials? Our new, FREE addon is here to help!
This tool provides a pre-connected node setup specifically for PBR Specular EEVEE, letting you quickly preview and connect materials without the usual setup hassle. It’s a straightforward alternative to Node Wrangler’s Metallic Roughness setup, designed to save you time and effort.
We use to preview quickly materials / textures prepared for Cryengine game assets.
Key Features:
- Pre-connected Nodes: Quickly preview and connect materials with a ready-to-go node setup.
- CryEngine Compatibility: Normal ‘Alpha’ channel is pre-connected to Invert, allowing for seamless connection to the Roughness node.
- DirectX Standard: Green channel in the normal map is flipped for DirectX compatibility.
- Color Space Setup: Normal map node comes with color space configuration.
- Alpha Channel Handling: For _ddna CryEngine normal maps, which store Smoothness/Glossiness in the alpha, you can connect them separately if needed.
