How would you determine the scale to use for the custom texture? Trial and error is one way, but, I guess there is no U / V scaling option(as in part texture objects) once you create the texture to adjust the material tile scale after import from within Studio?

This is INSANE, I am using it, and I love it already! Question, what’s the highest resolution it can handle? Can it do 8K?
Does anyone know which one is the color and metalness map? I don’t know how to use this feature.

Thank you so much for listening to your community, I am surprised and I am so glad that this was implemented! Good job. Will the image quality be increased soon?

I have files with the correct name attached maybe by looking at the pictures you can tell?
Im not sure if this will help, but you can use it as a visual reference. Some textures don’t come with a metal map sometimes.

Did you make those textures yourself, or did you get it from a website?

I got it off of a website and was lucky that all the textures are correctly named

Could I have the name of the website by any chance?

Sure!
This is the soper secret website :o
If you need to search a texture there is a teeny search bar over on the left
And unfortunatly when I search, images don’t come up with the textures, idk if its with you, but just a spoiler, its going to be alot of clicking.

I don’t know what they have in mind, but the way I read it, I assume they’ll use something similar to what they did with Future and Shadowmap lighting. Set the new default to ‘future materials’ for new projects and leave the classic as an option and default for existing games(unless the owner changes it in studio)
??
Did you see a way to scale that tile effect? like if you wanted the lines to be wider or closer together?

Finally i don’t need to find a mesh which is literally a cube so i can put Normal maps in it!!
One of the best updates of 2021.
Now we just need a Terrain Update ( More built-in terrain textures + user generated terrain texture + customizable grass decoration ) and Roblox studio will be way better

plywood_diff_1k is the Color Map. plywood_arm_1k contains contains the Metalness Map but it’s compressed in a form that allows it to be combined with AO and Roughness maps that renders it useless in Roblox. Chances are that the Metalness value it set to either 255 or 0, so it should be an Red, Green, or Blue value set to its highest but I can’t say for sure. It’s also worth mentioning that the blue channel is typically used for Ambient Occlusion, so maybe ignore that and focus on Red or Green.

I don’t see how that would work unless they build in overrides for the old materials. I wouldn’t be too worried since I could set the old materials up as variants, but the problem is the old materials use a different rendering technique and therefore can’t be placed into the map system for the material variants and still look right.
I just want them to let us know if we can get 1:1 parity with the old materials without having to do a bunch of work to get them implemented.
