Terrain Seam Blend -Ground to Object Material Blending

blenderustad in Rendering


Is support included?

Yes, through the Blender Ustad shop page on Superhive.

Is there a refund policy?

Refunds follow Superhive’s standard marketplace policy.

What Blender versions does it support?

4.2.0 minimum, since it’s built on the Extensions platform. Verified on 4.2.0 and 5.2.0 LTS on Windows; other platforms are not independently verified.

Does the blend update automatically if I animate the objects?

Yes, during normal interactive work in the viewport. For render-farm or purely headless script pipelines, wait for the panel’s "Up to date" status rather than assuming a refresh happens before every rendered frame.

Will this fix dirt and grime collecting in cracks automatically?

The optional Cavity / Crevice Accumulation feature adds ground-material fill in modeled geometric recesses, driven by actual mesh concavity — not a texture-space crack detector, so results depend on having enough geometric detail in the area.

What happens if my donor material isn't supported?

The addon stops explicitly and reports why, rather than guessing or flattening it to an average color. MATERIAL_SUPPORT.md documents a manual-baking workflow for unsupported setups.

Does it support procedural (non-image) materials?

Yes, within the documented contract: Noise, Voronoi, Wave, Checker, Gradient, Mapping, Math, Color Ramp and similar nodes feeding a Principled BSDF are supported. See the included MATERIAL_SUPPORT.md for the exact list.

Can I blend in both directions at once?

Yes. Set Transfer Mode to Both Directions; the two directions’ strengths are automatically normalized so they never overcontribute when combined.

Is it destructive to my original meshes and materials?

No. The addon works on private duplicated copies of the geometry and materials. Remove Blend restores both the receiver and donor to their exact original state.

Does this work with both Cycles and Eevee?

Yes — the shader setup it builds uses standard Blender nodes supported by both render engines; it is not restricted to Cycles.
