Material Masks | Errant Worlds

📄️ Introduction

Material Masks are graphs that control the logic of how and where Species/Sub-Biome spawns.

You can use all unreal nodes in the graph, just as when creating material keeping just a few limitations in mind.

Biomes plugin provides special metadata parameter nodes that will be automatically set while generating.

Errant Biomes comes with library of helper nodes for common operations.

You can use the output of other material masks as a parameter for your material mask.

You may pass various kinds of inputs to the material masks (such as landscape weightmaps, hand-painted masks, growth of other species, etc)

The best way to preview what your mask is doing is to go into Material Mask Debug Tool by selecting it on the toolbar while in Biomes mode.
