Tiki Drink
Tiki Drink by simfreak on Sketchfab This asset was textured using a proprietary RGBA PBR shader for Substance Painter and Unity, which limits all surface color to four packed channels. To work within those constraints, I combined a subtle curvature layer with two custom alpha masks to drive grayscale albedo overlays. The curvature wasn’t used…
