Unreality Layers
Material Layers is a builder for creating complex materials from multiple layers that stack on top of one another.
Each layer adds color, texture, or an effect, and we easily control their combination - adjusting order and blending intensity. We configured the material so a layer can be applied to different objects, both with our seamless world material and with an atlas material. And if a layer is not used, we disable its computation, which saves resources and improves performance.
This lets you quickly create beautiful, realistic surfaces, adding details from our library like dirt, rust, and scratches without changing the base material each time. The approach saves time and resources, letting you adjust only what you need - simply and efficiently.
