Default Blending Mode

[Dazzle5FF7]

Hi
I have created a material using Substance Designer which can be used as a stamp on 3D models. However, I have encountered an issue where if the model already has a material, the "normal" and "height" of the model's material show up on the stamp. To address this problem, I changed the blending modes of the "normal" and "height" channels of the stamp layer to "normal" mode. Is there a way to define the stamp material layer modes as default layer modes in Substance Designer? Or is there an easier way to fix this problem?

Hello @Dazzle5FF7,

Thanks for the question.

With Substance 3D Designer, you can already attribute a blending mode to the output maps. Under the User Data of the output, write blendingmode="type of blending mode you need", for example:

blendingmode=normal

You will find all the custom properties you can add on a Susbstance graph here.

Best regards,

Thanks a lot.
Is it possible to write two expressions in the User Data box? I want to disable the height map and attribute Normal blending mode whenever users enable it. I tried using 'disable=(true) && blendingmode=normal' but it didn't work.

Hi again @Dazzle5FF7,

It is possible indeed, but multiple settings are separated by a semicolon ( ; ) and not &&.

For example: disable=(true);blendingmode=normal

You will find these types of informations here.

Have a nice day.
