[SHELVED] Material Layering Feedback for 4.19

[Niberspace]

@Lstilson

I’ve only been cracking at this a couple hours now, but I personally see this system being very useful to my workflow. I’d love to see a “randomize parameters” button by the layer stack that would go through and randomize all the parameters attached to each material layer. I guess you would need to set a range for each parameter somewhere along the way though. Is that something that could be implemented?

I could see this being used dynamically when objects spawn in to populate scenes, get some slight material variations across objects in the environment every time you play on the same map.

Hi Lstilson, I would recommend you make a Min & Max value for everything you want randomized, then hook that up to a position-randomizer or a HISMC-randomizer (depending on type of object), that way you get randomized results for each of the object you place for free (as each object can use the exact same material instance which batches nicely).
