This article explains how to work with the Sheen effect in Substance Painter for use with the WANNA renderer.
- In the shader settings tab, check enable sheen and move the sheenRoughnessFactor slider to 1.
- In the Texture Set Settings tab, add “Sheen color” and “Sheen roughness” channels for those texture sets in which you plan to adjust the sheen effect.
- In the Properties-Fill tab, activate and customize the sheen effect channels.
- If you are working with multiple texture sets, you may need to disable sheen for some of them. This can be done by adding a new shader instance in the Texture Set List tab.
- To edit a new shader, select it from the Shader Instance drop-down list of the Texture Set Settings tab. After that it will appear in the Shader Settings tab.
- Rename the resulting shader for convenience.
- Disable the sheen effect in the new shader.
- In the Texture Set List tab, set a new shader for all texture sets for which you want to disable sheen.
- To export the result correctly, make sure that substance_khr_export_plugin is installed in the Python tab, and Export shaders parameters is checked in Export settings.
