	=Blender Material Configuration=		=Blender Material Configuration=
	~~TBD~~		Unlike Max, Blender does not offer all the slots needed to directly create pbrmetaldetail material.
			To do this anyway, here are the steps to follow


			Create your object in Blender, and texture it with a pbrmetal material as usual (albedo, normal and parameter).

			Important note : use the alpha layer of the albedo file to determine where, on your object, the pbrmetaldetail should apply (see above on this page).

			Once you are happy with the texturing in Blender, simply rename the material you have just used -mytexture.m.pbrmetal- with this new extension : mytexture.m.pbrmetaldetail.
			Export your work under fbx format.


			In the Content Manager, create a new object with this content and submit it.

			The system will generate two errors, indicating that the slots 'detail albedo' and 'detail normal' are empty.

			To fix it, proceed in two steps.

			'''First step :'''

			In the files tree of your object, add now the two missing tga files : detail_albedo.tga and detail_normal.tga.

			Add also their own config text : detail_albedo.texture.txt and detail_normal.texture.txt

			The content of each of these text file should be :

			<pre>Primary=detail_diffuse.tga
			Alpha=detail_diffuse.tga
			Tile=st
			</pre>

			and

			<pre>Primary=detail_normal.tga
			Alpha=detail_normal.tga
			Tile=st
			</pre>

			'''Second step :'''

			In the files tree of your object, and for each fbx files where the material pbrmetaldetail will apply, create a new text file. When speaking about these text files, we refer to [mesh metadata files[https://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/Mesh_metadata_file]]

			Important note : the name of each one of these new text files must bear the name of the fbx file it refers to. For these fbx files : ''object_lod0'', ''object_lod1'' you should have ''object_lod0.txt'' and ''object_lod1.txt''

			Here is the typical content of such a mesh metadata file :

			<pre>materials
			{
			mytexture.m.pbrmetaldetail
			{
			detail-scale 4
			textures
			{
			albedo
			{
			texture-resource "albedo.texture"
			}
			normal
			{
			texture-resource "normal.texture"
			}
			parameter
			{
			texture-resource "parameter.texture"
			}
			detail-albedo
			{
			texture-resource "detail_albedo.texture"
			}
			detail-normal
			{
			texture-resource "detail_normal.texture"
			}
			}
			}

			</pre>

			Submit a new once your object and enjoy the result !

	Note that the detail maps are sampled at different texture coordinates from the primary maps. The 'detail-scale' material attribute defines a constant ratio between the two maps, with the primary maps functioning as normal and the detail maps tiling at the specified ratio to the primary. It is important that the detail map textures are configured to [[texture tiling\|tile]] appropriately.		Note that the detail maps are sampled at different texture coordinates from the primary maps.
