20 2019 Substance Alchemist: 100 Materials in 100 Days, by Nikola Damjanov. Nikola Damjanov joined the Project Substance Alchemist beta early on in the process and helped the development team with the construction of this all-new material authoring and management software, available today in the Substance subscription. Utility for validating PBR data. Ranges checked are albedo dark values and metal reflectance. Albedo Mode: checks dark ranges in the diffuse reflected color Albedo Dark Range Threshold: No dark values below 30 sRGB No dark values below 50 sRGB Metal Mode: Checks the specular range for the metal reflectance value Metal Reflectance Range: 155-255 sRGB (60-100% reflective) 180-255 sRGB (70.
