Save Editor

The save editor panel is dedicated to saving materials in the User Library, the user Library is a Library of Extreme PBR which will initially be empty, but you can populate it with the materials created with Extreme PBR, so that you can reuse them in the future directly from the Extreme PBR interface.

This process will also save the material preview, so you can see it in the library.

Render Engine

Render Engine

Device

Device

In this menu you can choose which device must render the material to transform it into a preview icon you can choose between CPU and GPU. GPU Γ¨ molto piu veloce di CPU, ma ci sono alcuni casi che con certi computer con poca memoria ram della scheda video potrebbero avere problemi, quindi potrai scegliere CPU.

Note

This option if set to GPU, at the time of saving the material, if the computer encounters an error during rendering will try again in CPU mode silently

Render Quality

Render Quality

From this menu slider you can choose the rendering quality, the higher the rendering quality, the more precise and quality the rendering will be, but also slower. The default value is 64.

Save Material

Save Material Panel 01

Preview with Displace

If active and if the material has a displace in the nodes, it will be applied to the material before rendering the preview

Use Watermark

  • Case where you are saving a material: Icon β€œMaterial”

  • Case where you are saving a group (Module): Icon β€œNode Group”

Displace Strength

Here you decide the strength of the displace to be applied to the material before rendering the preview

Preview with Bloom

If active, a Bloom effect will be applied to the final render, useful for materials that have emissive parts

Use asset props

If the material is present in the asset browser, save the author the tags and description

Bloom Strength

If the Bloom is active, here you can decide the strength of the Bloom, the higher the value, the more intense the Bloom will be.

Background

From this menu you can choose the environment to use lighting, it will be an HDR that will act as a light for the material to be rendered

UV Rotation

UV Rotation

From this menu you can change the rotation of the UV mapping to be applied to the object, so this allows you to rotate the image applied to the object to be rendered.

UV Scale

UV Scale

From this menu you can change the scale of the UV mapping to be applied to the object, so this allows you to scale the image applied to the object to be rendered.
