MONDAY. FREE.
If you ever use PBR materials in Unreal Engine, you'll want this free tool. It automates importing textures and builds them into PBR materials, and includes options for hex tiling, triplanar projection, and nanite displacement. Stay tuned to @SchoolOfMotion.

Hey folks - I have built a free Unreal Engine plugin for @SchoolOfMotion, but I need some help testing it. It takes a folder (or folders) full of textures and quickly turns them into Unreal Materials. There's also a lot of cool features like Hex tiling (to scramble repetitive textures). Anyone interested in helping out?
