I've been puzzled for a long time about how to properly link Poliigon materials to KeyShot. After watching your explanatory video, I've had an epiphany - thank you so much! This video has been a huge help to me.

Cool. I'm happy to hear that!

Useful tips, especially the part of linearizing textures is something I never would have thought about. A metalness workflow video would be very appreciated. Thanks a lot!

It's easy to forget. While you can technically get away without doing it, it's just nice to know why colors might shift or gloss/specular values look different.

This was super helpful. Looking forward to the Metalness workflow video :)

Awesome video Will. Thanks for always providing clear and concise training info.The cheat sheet will live on on my desktop

Hi Nadeem! Happy to hear from you. And that you found this one helpful! :)

Great information about the materials! It will make my work much more efficient as I won't have to test each file to find the one that works.

Thanks. Until then, the cheat sheet you downloaded should help out!

thank you for this video, I am trying to create, "poured concrete" texture from poliigon, according to your cheat sheet (big thanks btw). the package has metalness, I have keyshot 10, so what kind of material I should use to link metalness, because "metal" didn't have a Metallic Socket. Also it does not have REFL, so my specular socket stays epty in a way. Thank you for your videos, I hope you know how much we appreciate as beginners :)

Hi, the cheat sheet should say to use the 'generic' material type. Not metal. Generic material should have metalness socket.

Hi Will, this tutorial was a total life saver, so thank you! One quick question: some of Poliigon's metal textures have the color info in the reflection/specular map. When I add a color 2 number (to bring out the details) it turns it black & white... Is there a way to avoid this?

@WillGibbons

I'm not certain with the limited information I have. I would suspect you would not want to use a color to number to change that value. Only the 'contrast' setting if you need to linearize that texture.

I downloaded a Stainless steel Material from Poliigon. When going trough the step-by-step Cheat Sheet, in the Metalness workflow, it says you need to plug the Metallness.png in the Metallic node. However, I cannot see that node in the material list (texture connection). Or should I start with a Metal material iso Plastic?

Hello~ I have a problem that im trying to move multiple procedural texture like spots and noise at the same time, is there any way to do that in keyshot or there isnt?

You have to use a color composite node to do that. You use the blend modes in there like Photoshop layers. I hope that makes sense. Otherwise look at KeyShot's online manual for color composite node.

The link for the KeyShot PBR Material Cheat Sheet provided in the description, doesn't get me to the download.

There are too many repetitive actions in 2D mapping, I hope they can be selected and adjusted at one time

@WillGibbons

Жыл бұрын

Right, that's why the mapping 2D node exists. But it would be great to controll more properties than just mapping.

setting the value in the specular map too high might break the law of conservation. for nonmetal materials, it represents the F0, which should be around 0.02~0.05 in linear space. that's why it's so dark in the original specular texture.

@WillGibbons

Жыл бұрын

Good question. I'll start by saying I'm not certain, but F0 only pertains to specular reflections where angle of incident is zero. And regarding law of conservation, that's just stating that a surface can't reflect more light than it receives. All KeyShot mateirals obey this law unless you're using emissive/light materials. Given my limited use of other render engines, I'm not sure if KeyShot treats specularity differently, but if don't adjust the specular or reflectance map to cover a wider range of values, the materials simply don't appear correct. So, in my experience, this is what's required to get these mateirals to render correctly in KeyShot. But if you have suggestions on how better to get the spec value to read correctly, I'm interested. Thanks for your comment!
