In Sloyd, every model has assigned a material palette.
When you export a .glb model, these will be included as part of the model, making it very easy to edit them in tools like Blender or Substance Painter, or to set up your own pre-defined palettes through the Sloyd SDK or API.
You can select another material palette or create your own pallate
To make it easy to switch between color and material settings, we have created a set of material palettes for you to choose from. They are named after their intented use, but many work great on multiple types of objects!
Each palette has four defined materials slots.
They come with a color setting and basic PBR settings:
Metalness
Specular
Roughness
Emission
Transparency
Today, the material slots are predefined by the Sloyd team.
Typically, what you'll see is:
The biggest part of the object
Second biggest part of the object
Details
Glass or smaller details
On buildings, the slots are consistently laid out like this:
Walls
Roofs
Window frames and details
Glass
Instead of using a predefined pallet you can change the color and PBR setting of each material slot by clicking on the material. Then you get save the custom pallet and reuse it across multiple objects.
