It isn't actually complicated. There's a clear structure underneath, and once you see it, every parameter has a home. In this video, we break down the Surface Forge layer system: - Base layers (A, B, C) — your tiling materials, enabled progressively - Modifiers (Slope, Curvature, Snow, Puddles) — automatic effects that sit on top - Why some modifiers are paintable and others aren't - Where the weather system fits in No parameter tour, no node graphs — just the mental model you need before the panel makes sense. Next video, we build a real material end to end. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Intro to Layering 01:46 Base layers: Layer A 02:00 Adding Layer B (2-in-1) 03:34 Adding Layer C (3-in-1) 04:29 Using Vertex Painting 06:16 Blend Modes 08:08 Slope Layer 09:26 Snow Layer 09:55 Curvature Layer 12:55 Water Puddles ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📺 THE FOUNDATIONS SERIES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Video 1 — What Surface Forge Is: https://youtu.be/4A6Mcyxt-7A ► Video 2 — Project Setup: https://youtu.be/pFwDUHyE1RI ► Video 3 — The Layer Model (you are here) Full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFwDUHyE1RI&list=PL3h9_2VztKEGUaAZhacBoBLiK0Xh8FL86 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 QUESTIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drop them in the comments.
