Hi Devs (I think this is an Oceans question) Is there any chance of getting the WW 80th star spangled chroma as a straight out material? Just the star spangled pattern part I mean. There's a piece I want to use it with but without the chroma locked channels. Thanks in advance
I ran into an unexpected snag with the star spangled chroma. I had decided that in order to do a Silver Age Wonder Woman 0fd7328b9646e6a520e8df1c3a236cef by Michael Kramer, on Flickr dcdwwomanwgrl by Michael Kramer, on Flickr the best way to do her shorts, was to use a pair of...well, shorts. (specifically the Flash and/or Batman boxer shorts) Now I had never noticed Materials being effected by the shorts designed. It always seemed like whatever pattern the shorts had on at the time (either the Bats or the flash emblems were just covered up by the material as one smooth texture. However, Yesterday I discovered when I put the Star spangled Chroma on, there were dozens of little blocks where the pattern was the same but it was reduced into small square patches all over the shorts.

If this is an unintended glitch, I'll be very happy when it's resolved. Until then, well, I'd really like a pair of shorts that are one panel all over without any design variances that will disrupt a Material or Chroma being applied to it.
The shorts in Progeny of Darkseid are perfect!......

The chroma isn't the problem here. It's the hero shorts mapping. The texture is mapped to have 1 texture on the whole thing and another emblem texture scaled down and overlayed on top of the shorts that gets repeated. So the chroma is set to put one colour or texture in 1 of 3 channels on the style piece. Here it's just filling the channels with what it has. I don't know if a straight material would help here and just cover everything solidly. Really not sure; depends how they're setup... maybe? This would be the type of question Meg use to be able to answer...
