Hi thanks - Looks like https://www.allegorithmic.com/products/substance-designer which appears to be exactly what I'm seeking - a dedicated materials editor software - NODES & SLIDERS - however, this video is encouraging https://youtu.be/NzKtubDsC9o
So this is a lot less than spending 1000 USD to upgrade from KeyShot HD to PRO - and - who knows - I prefer a dedicated program and I doubt KeyShot has this depth of control: https://youtu.be/dSfIERQUm4I
Next question - how would you add these textures to the Moi3d interface? (You were waiting for this question! Right?)
After further research, it appears Keyshot Pro (6) has the best solution for materials (mtl) editing - it appears to be, by comparison to Substance Designer - more practical in how materials are made compared to Substance Designer. The KeyShot interface is simple & straightforward - where you drag & drop the textures - use nodes & sliders - and you see instantly the results. Although the upGrade from KeyShot 6HD to PRO is 1000 USD - compared to Substance Designer's 149 USD, the learning curve in Substance Designer is steep compared to KeyShot Pro 6, and the interface is 'more convoluted' than KeyShot's GUI, which is really straight forward & practical. Here's the tutorial on youTube showing how the materials editor works: https://youtu.be/5EDJkN6SPLA
What's really cool is http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI which is the KeyShot Plugin for MOI: by Andrei Samardac
What we need is a Modded-Moi3d to replace the SloLow Moi3d, which has all the whistles & bells - all the custom nodes, scripts & plugins - hello? Michael? and a black interface that's easy on the eyes!
Cheers,
Fock Pensis
