QuickTexture 2024 for Blender 4.0.2

Improvements

Bake Alpha Checkbox. Turn this OFF before baking in order to ensure proper transfer of material into Unreal with the USD format
Applies Rotation automatically after using the Copy Material button so the QT transfers properly
Paintover can now be activated from Cycles. There is a lot of hidden unavoidable color correction that is being applied by Blender on the import and export of the paintover texture, so keep in mind that the best way to use this (experimental) Paintover feature is from within Eevee material preview mode with a very bright simple HDRI. The idea is you would paintover in a very neutral setting then later switch to cycles and tweak lighting to relight your existing scene + paintover

Bug Fixes

Remove QuickShape requirement to run QuickTexture
Mouse movement when multiple panels are open
Reset Material deleting all modifiers on object instead of QuickTexture related modifiers only
Rotation not affecting all maps
Detiling
Randomize Per Object

Baking support for Paintover
Normal after baking connected to wrong slot
Photomodeling Box and UV fixed and renamed for clarity

QuickTexture 2024 for Blender 4.0

New Features

QuickPaintover allows you to paint textures using your favorite image editor
Set the full Image Editor .EXE file location in the preferences
QuickPaintover will cover your entire viewport and project onto the surface like a Mesh Decal
Make sure you collapse everything down to a single layer before saving, and then use the Apply Paintover tool to update the texture
Create as many QuickPaintover objects needed!
Don't forget that these are MESH objects, so you can boolean them and do any other mesh operations!
UI is automatically updated to display your custom hotkeys
Mode option to choose between Procedural Box, View, UV or Triplanar from the start for your QuickTextures
Create TriPlanar layers
Delete Material tool to remove all QuickTexture related attributes and materials in order to have a clean slate
Detailed Error Messages when something goes wrong
Support Custom Keywords in Filenames so you can ensure your textures are loaded properly
Supports Metal Maps
Control Emission Contrast
Multilayer option for QuickTexture creates 3 layers with edge and dirt masks along with some basic color variation from a single click

Improvements

Mesh Decals
Mask by Normal Direction
Threshold setting to remove stretched polygons
Use a Collection as a target object for Decal
More consistent N panel now moves UI text out of the way to not interfere

Baking

Supports baking Metal map
Bake multiple objects (decals) onto one texture
Remaking Material into a QuickTexture supports materials with node groups and materials that just had a single diffuse texture
Mouse movement to change settings now supports wrapping around viewport
Ctrl/Shift/Alt as multipliers to affect changing settings are now standardized
Vector Displacement node switched to Displacement so it behaves as expected
MidLevel control added for Displacement Map
If no objects are selected when creating a QuickTexture, a Photomodeling Plane will be created from the chosen image(s)
If no objects are selected when creating a QuickDecal, a Reference Plane will be created from the chosen image(s)
Shadow Visibility in both Cycles and Eevee is automatically turned off for all Decals, Ref, and Photomodeling Objects
Escape stops all actions
Undo warning has been added, please Undo carefully and give it time between each Undo or Blender will crash

Bug Fixes

Only draws UI in one viewport
Handles Multi User objects
Compatibility issues with other addons that added attributes to shaders have been fixed
Displacement support when remaking materials/using the make unique tool
Cleans up any empty materials on an object before running to prevent crash

QuickTexture 2022 for Blender 3.4

New Features

New Alt+Q Pie Menu for tools and presets
QuickDecal
Photomodeling Plane
Photomodeling Cube
Apply Photomodel
Now Supports Displacement Maps (Cycles Only)
Create Displacement maps for up to 5 layers
Move/Scale/Rotate/Adjust Strength all in viewport just like every other map

Redesigned Bump Map System: Can now control the depth of individual layers to get realistic layering effects! Only works when maps are mixed by Texture Mask

New Masks: Vertex Color Attribute Mask, AO Mask, Cavity Mask (Cycles Only)

New "Variety" Map: Add splotches of variation to your diffuse texture

Mesh Decals V2: New procedurally generated Alpha blend options around the border Can now reproject decal to different mesh if needed Vertex Color attribute is automatically used as an alpha so you can immediately go into vertex painting to hide parts of the decal

Baking V2: Preview AO / Cavity checkbox (Cycles Only) This will assign an AO and Cavity shader to the mesh This preview shader is the only QT feature that is not controlled in the viewport. Feel free to add your own noise textures and tweak the shader further You can press the bake button at any point while in this preview mode to bake AO and Cavity textures, with the assumption that you will use them as masks further along in the texturing process If you click Bake without a path specified, QT will make a new folder for you and save the images there if your Blender file is saved Normal Mask now in global space New setting for custom mouse speed multiplier for users with vastly different DPI/Monitor sizes Shift+T to switch from QT Procedural Mapping to Triplanar Box Mapping Add more tools to Ctrl+D pie menu
