Chaos Cosmos Varients

[VelvetElvis]

Is there a way to access the different clothing color variants from a Cosmos asset in Forest Pro without a lot of manual work building the forest materials? Is there a script available to put the 4 different diffuse materials into a Forest color material?

Hi,

Corresponding textures for the diffuse channel are located under the ..\Chaos Cosmos\Packages..\Assets folder in .tx format. You can use a script such as cs_sme_drop to drag and drop multiple files and automatically create the corresponding VRayBitmap nodes in the Material Editor. Once imported, these can then be wired into the Forest Color map. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Please find attached a script prepared by my colleague Paul that fully automates this task. It locates the existing diffuse map and checks for other maps with filenames matching specific keywords (by default, diff or diffuse). If any are found, the script loads them into a new VRayBitmap and wires them through a Forest Color map. In our quick tests, it appears to work as intended. I hope this helps.

This will help a lot, even the advice in the first post will go a long way. Thank you so much for the support!
