[SHELVED] Material Layering Feedback for 4.19

Layer the physic mat and you will have something special.

Almost no point in using material layers in a real game at the moment.

Example you have AI wearing armour; a bullet hits it armour you hear the thud of Kevlar, the second bullet hits his face you hear the skin and blood squelch. Currently you have to assign mat ID to achieve this. And that’s for almost everything, you use layers for different surfaces but without the correct surface physics/sfx you can’t use it in anything that has interactions, bullets footsteps etc.

Lol, but isn’t it the same with standard materials?
I personally love to use the layers to add details, like scratches, paint chips, dust, dirt and leaks. Don’t say material layering doesn’t have a purpose… because it does for a lot of things! Especially where you want to add texture tiling. Or when you use over and over the same textures, but want to add the uniqueness for each model and want to save video memory and disk space.
