Description
Master Material for Mesh Texture Color Painting is a production-ready shader built for Unreal Engine 5, designed to make texture blending fast, precise, and artist-friendly.
It supports up to 4 layers, each with its own textures and parameters — perfect for environment, level and prop artists who want full control over material blending directly on meshes.
You can choose a specific UV channel and texture resolution for texture color painting in the Mesh Painting menu.
