The trick to avg the color from a pattern is genius. Love it.

Extremely underrated channel. I've not seen these techniques explained so well until now. Thank you so much!

This is a pretty awesome trick.
I think having a sample color from a coordinate fx would be useful. For a lot of product designs the average color wouldn't work because a PMS color would need to be called out.
For games and previsualization this works great!

This is incredibly useful. I never found much of a use on Passthrough, but this tutorial shines a new light on it!

Hi Wes i saw your cyberpunk short about the paint along parh tool. I really need the tutorial on the material effect, I cant find anything like this anywhere else. Are you still planning to make a tutorial?

[olofljunggren]

How would you batch export the different texture variations?

[CritelliArt]

This is wild. Incredibly useful technique. I wonder if this could work for more organic subjects like creature concepts?

[Endalful]

Is there a way to quickly export the texture variations you made, or do you have to export all the variations manually?
