btw you can generate vertex color procedurally in geonodes and read it in a ucupaint mask this is also viable for gamedev if you keep mesh subdivisions reasonably low - ThreadSky

Shameless plug of my free AO geometry nodes thing:

Works great for contextual material blends 👀

How do you export the textured model to an engine though? I've tried baking geometry nodes but it's not really flexible.

passivestar.bsky.social•14 days ago

you should be able to export gltf with vertex colors without manually baking anything, just make sure apply modifiers is checked

astrades-studio.itch.io•14 days ago

Huh, I see, I have not tried using vertex colors to set up shaders in Godot, I'll have to try it that way.

You can bake any data within Blender, you can apply the geometry nodes and bake the texture maps.

Then you can just use it anywhere.

astrades-studio.itch.io•14 days ago

Yes but every texture you bake is a texture you cannot reuse. It is way more performant to recreate the materials in the target engine to allow for sharing materials between assets. Otherwise ~3 textures per asset ramp up fast.

quotered.bsky.social•14 days ago

You can always export a tillable texture, fix it up in raster software or in Substance Sampler or Designer.

But yeah if you want a procedural texture for one software to another there is no all in one solution.
There are some formatting tools but not all features will transfer.
