Workflow advice needed-->10 different textures combinations

[zooropa]

Hi. I hope you can help me. I am trying to avoid the tedious work of finding right texture combinations in a textile project.

I have a model with 3 different elements (layer/meshes). I also have a portfolio of 10 different fabrics. I would like to "play" around with my different fabrics swapping and checking different combinations on my 3 layer object.

Just to sum up: I would like to have my 10 textures applied in each of the 3 layers and then turn on for ex.

layer 1> texture 2
layer 2> texture 7
layer 3> texture 1

attached an graphical example.

I am not trying to get the written solution, but maybe aim if this could be done.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Oh yes! I believe this is a feature to jump from one material to the other within KS. I am not sure, but I believe multi-materials are not possible to be render all at the same time and turn off and on in PS for example...

Not sure if what I need was totally clear. In a way I would like to be able to (after render)  see combinations of materials in the 3 layers.

Thanks a lot !

Have you tried the Keyshot Configurator? I believe that is exactly what it is for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZGu-zyMRI


Another, less customizable option is if you use Photoshop, I've had good success with this free plugin in the past: https://github.com/mechanicious/photoshopCompositionComposer

You would want to render each piece as each multimaterial and then with some grouping in Photoshop, the plugin will output all possible combinations of the layers.

Watching the video now! Thanks so much. The photoshop plugin is insane!!! Might be the way. I really appreciate your help.
