Detailtexture mask not working in standard shader

Unity Engine
1

hi,

seems, the detailtexture-mask is not working/affecting the detail textures on the standard shader.

AFAIK, the detailtexture-mask has to be just a black/white texture, which should hide the detail texture in unwanted areas of an object…

I assigned such a mask, but it is not working… is there more to know about or is it known to be a bug?

Cheers!

anybody, pls?

I agree the documentation is terrible for this feature. Just tested it. Looks like Unity only uses the alpha channel from the detail mask. Put your mask on the alpha channel and it should work. I also save all my images as .tiffs. Other formats don’t seem as reliable when using alpha channels.

I can confirm that in 2021.1 its still the case. You need to have a texture that has the 4 channels active … and the alpha channel is what controls the mask.

Thanks for this. I wasn’t sure what the heck was going on…
