Difference between material templates and materials in D5 Assets Library

Modified on Sun, 8 May, 2022 at 8:10 AM

Material Templates are some common material types that are preset by D5 Render. It can simplify the parameters of materials and help us learn the material system easier.

The default material template is Custom, which contains commonly used parameters. In the drop-down list you can change to other materials such as transparent, water, car paint, displacement, cloth, custom alpha and video, which classifies the material to the corresponding category and simplify the material editing process.

This means that different material templates have different adjustable parameters.


Materials in D5 Assets Library are made by D5 Works team, and we can download them for our use.

Click on materials you need, then the downloading starts, and you can apply the selected materials directly to your scene.

The downloaded materials already contain adjusted material parameters and maps, which can be used directly.
