Intermediate: Add desired assets as Grass assets to a Landscape Auto Material. Advanced: Add desired assets as Instanced Foliage Actor assets to a Landscape Auto Material for Customization and Interactability. ## Material and Texture Setup All Textures are Channel Packed into the RGBA Channels. Targa (.TGA) files are used whenever useful to store data in the Alpha channel. A Color Map is used to allow for customization of up to 3 colors per material instance. Make Material Instances for countless color and parameter variations for use in Instanced Foliage Actors. **Maps** Some assets may not use all maps/channels. - Diffuse (RGB) and Alpha _filename_\_DA.(tga/png) - Color Map (RGB) _filename_\_CM.(tga/png) - Ambient Occlusion (R), Roughness (G), Metallic (B), Specular (Alpha) _filename_\_AORMS.(tga) - Normal Map (RG), Height/Displacement Map (B), Subsurface Scattering Map (Alpha) _filename_\_NHSS.(tga) # Settings An example Material setup is included in Content that utilizes up to 3 customizable colors and other parameters. # Contributions [_Contibutors and PRs are welcome via Github!_](https://github.com/Voidware-Prohibited/Flora/pulls) # License [Original content and code in this repository is under the Custom MIT license LICENSE.md](https://github.com/Voidware-Prohibited/Flora/blob/master/LICENSE.md).
