today we're going to take a look at ravage and blend your add-on and it helps you with materials texturing and shading it makes PBR texturing in blender much more efficient and it gives you the option to create your own nodes with a node editor in addition it gives you the ability to use the add-ons workflow or combine the two for more flexibility it actually employs a layer based structure to make rearranging nodes which can quickly turn into a hassle to elaborate more ravage is essentially a simplified quicksole mixer substance painter or any other digital painting software through qixel Bridge it provides a layer based texturing access to a local and online libraries which is really good now let's take a look at its interface after selecting the mesh for which you want to create materials first you have to save the blend file to continue working following that of course you will need to create a new material for your mesh then you will go to the section where three control panels are accessible the first one for controlling materials you'll be able to find the material list in addition to to names you can create a new one move it up and down or delete it the second panel is for layer control where you can add a new PBR texture filter user for the layers or you can duplicate it you can also preview mask layer and master channels in addition to the ability to toggle normal data open the UV editor and delete layers the third panel is for settings you'll be able to see the layer filter mask Vector baking and material settings if you are just getting started with this add-on you'll most likely find it complicated so this information can confuse you if you're a beginner but this should not be a big of a deal so let's get started with what you can find after adding a layer you will discover some interesting features such as a material library in which you can add a previous material or Texture from your PC and then begin working with it after that you'll be able to see and interact with the channels you've added where you can change the texture and the blending mode and add a filter and then you can start adding masks vectors is in addition to baking your textures as an example of this add-ons workflow you can add a layer that's metal for example and your second layer can be a red paint then you can add a mask to the first layer and decide that you want metal to be appearing on the edges and here you go a simple example of how ravage can help you speed up and simplify your workflow now let's go to the specifics of what is useful about this add-on so far we've established that ravage is a layer based texturing add-on but it doesn't stop there what's unique about this add-on is that it offers intuitive workflows which means you'll be able to use it and the node editor together which is really interesting another reason I like it so much is that it is fast quick and efficient with quick library access and fast access panels and performance optimization so you don't even need a powerful PC to work with it the build in texturing tools are simply amazing because they significantly speed up tasks that would otherwise take a long time to set up also if you have been struggling with baking lately we well with ravage you can forget all about that because it simplifies baking and makes it easier for you to enjoy your experience I mean your texturing experience it also gives you external integration with asset ninja and qixel Bridge as well as any asset library that you want finally rapid includes a number of custom node groups which are then used throughout the workflow with the ability to be extended the baked Maps can also be used with custom masks this addon obviously will not provide you with a substance painter experience but at least it's gonna be very good and beneficial for many tasks when it comes to texture painting and texturing inside your blender projects if you are interested in this add-on you will find the necessary links in the description I hope you found this video useful if you did please give it a thumbs up you can also check some of our previous videos thank you very much for watching and I'll see you in the next one
