Additional Details

  • This comic kit has been designed to allow you to give your renders that iconic typographic look to help describe the action of your characters.
  • The Material Presets included in the DIY kit will load without colors. You can add colors through the surface panes (window > panes > surface). Useful things to know:
    • Base Color = will “paint” the texture.
    • Overlay Color = will give color to the overlay mask.
    • Emission = will also load white, so remember to add color!
    • Transparency = will load maps into the cutout opacity. White is what's visible, black is what's transparent.
  • If you only want to apply a material preset from the DIY kit to one surface. For example, let's say you want to apply it to the front only:
    • 1. In the surfaces panes select the front.
    • 2. Pressing ctrl (windows) or command (mac) click on whichever material preset you’ll like to add.
    • 3. A window (Material Preset Load Option) will pop-up. In Options, set Surfaces to “selected” and Images to “replace”.
    • 4. Hit accept and you’ll notice the material preset only got applied to your selected surface.
  • Use this trick to further personalize your words. Just remember that some textures/masks also move the tiling, so some combinations might not work as intended.
