    Here is a file I have been working on, Please note it's not perfect. If you export the maps in jpeg you will notice a few artifacts on the tile around the tile joint, best results in PNG Maybe I'm trying to pack too much in one graph, lol When first opening the file you will see the tile pattern is the french pattern. There are many adjustments you can make to the pattern, all self-explanatory. There is the ability to import an image and the graph is set up to randomize the texture. You click on the Marble image where it states "none" and it will open up your file explorer to insert an image. If you need only colour there is a Tile colour Tab. Please Note there is a SWITCH to jump between the two. The is quite a few adjustments, Grout Colour, joint width and bevel size of joint. The next step is to add another switch and add the variation of tile patterns. Comments and criticism welcome. Tile Input Randomize texture or Coloured Tile Input.sbsar

    Be good if we could use displacement maps in our materials when rendering. Would give a bit of depth to the renders. Would be great to add the slot for displacement or height maps in the program CA.

    Yeah this was a huge problem when I started. You need to know how to setup the graph in order to randomize the textures across the tiles. The sbsar CA have posted was made in substance designer and when exporting out to sbsar file you can expose parameters to see in substance player. You expose parameters to any adjustments that are required.

    You need substance designer to build the graph and here you create your textures and export as sbsar file to open in the player.

    No yiou need bitmap2 materials to load textures

    Substance Designer is one of the best programs around for making materials. I have been using it for a few years now. The materials I have been posting here are all made with this program.

    Having a quick look at your plan is it seem you need to make both sides of the roof pitch the same. Look at the roof plane spec, they are not identical, If you make them the same the valley raffter disappears.

    We use 2K texures and slows down CA quite considerably.

    Michael, I believe CA material list is spot on. I created a one square metre room with a one metre high ceiling removed the floor lining and made the rough ceiling height one metre. See results in attached pic. CA model built with 1 m from lining to lining so all wall (timber frame) internal dimension are 1.02 mm. So Ca ML calculates 1 wall with 1.02 which is correct, then the two perpendicular walls 1.01 which is also correct and finally the last wall 1.0, which is spot on. Though when i inserted formula to return value of internal area I got 1.2 m2 should be 1.02 m2. That needs to be fixed by CA

    When exporting CA all the textures come with the model. I use Thea and apart from the glass which need changing, Only all of the diffuse and roughness maps get exported. I suppose i have to find in setting how to allow the other maps to be exported.

    The material list gives you all you need plus more. Generate your material list and you have it all, without the need of any forumulas.

    Mick, My bad, it should say micro orb, my reference photo was this. How is the 2k textures ? Would 512 be better. Large texture slow down CA.

    Hi Mick, Ca is getting there slowly but surely, The componets are great now only wonder if the can do this for every thing that is the question! I have played a bit with the walls and i can pullout quite a bit of info from the wall areas eg sand, cement, wall ties, flashing etc The component list in the dilog box is so good you can add anything you need. Hopefully it will be all complete when we come out of Beta. Maybe a good video with a few macros would be nice.

    Yes, what’s your email I can send to you.

    Like to share some material I`ve recently made. I have a sample renders i have done, not with CA. Maps included in zip file,basecolour, displacement, metallic, normal and roughness. Sample shots material ball and scene. Also calibz file so straight into CA. Resolution 512k Mini_Micro.calibz Mini_Micro_H&W_512x512_textures.7z

    Send us the tile texture you have and I can make for you.

    How do I create a pattern file? Be nice if we could insert a map so it could match up perfectly without having to adjust anything. See material attached I don't see any .pat file to look anything like this material. Also tried to create a .pat file in PS but no luck. I see pat files in PS though cannot export them to use in CA. brick_paving_stones_decorative_001.calibz
