Hello i am wondering if anyone knows how to add a texture slot for the surface shader car paint ?

Im wanting racing stripes for my car and wanting to use the paint shader for both the main and the stripes. I can't use groups with a material node as my topology is not straight its curved.

Also how do you save out this shader so that i can install it as a digital asset to use in other scene files ?

File attached of a box with non straight edge loops.

Thanks in advance

Go to VEX-context and jump inside car_paint1. I´ve added the nodes needed to multiply your diffuse with a map and marked them with a red netbox.
You will have to uv-map your objects.

Edit.. And the file!

Hi,

I would ask about a way to add export parameters for mantra like “flakesExport”.

Have a look at one of the prebuilt materials. The green nodes are “exporters”.

Basicly you just lay down a parameter vop and make sure the Export is set to always.
Now you can use the parameter name to create a extra image plane in mantra.
Just be sure about the parameter type is the same on both places.
