Thanks for your reply - yes, very useful response. The texture array sounds like the answer, so I'll take a look at that - thanks very much.

Thank you. I'll take a look and do some experimenting. Not sure why Amplify haven't responded to my question when they have answered later questions. Very frustrating. But thanks again - I'll see if that's a possibility. I hope so.

Is 16 sampler nodes the limit? I can't find anything on the wiki about this.

Thanks.

I have two sets of sampler nodes, each containing 7 sampler nodes and three lerps. I'm mixing various grass and rock maps to break up tiling on a 4km x 4km terrain mesh. However, I got this error:

Yes, that helps a lot - thanks very much for your full reply.

I have a large landscape mesh, onto which I want to place smaller meshes, each with their own shader and each having a soft border controlled by an opacity bitmap. All well and good: I set Render Type and Queue to transparent, and I get the nice soft blended borders I want. But shadows are then not ...

Thanks for explaining - appreciated. I've bookmarked the download page now, and that's where I'll get my updates from now on.

Substance is my core texture generation tool, as with many folk now I guess, so being able to work with that in Unity, and ultimately in ASE, is a very big deal, and I'm ...

Ah right - thanks for responding. Hopefully 2018 support will be fairly soon. I could backtrack, but in this case, it's as straightforward to import bitmaps.

Odd on the build - that's the absolute latest I got off the Asset Store. But I will use your link in future.

Many thanks.

If I drag a Substance into an ASE shader graph, I get a message that it is converted, and a blank graph called Standard is opened, but nothing else, except this info:
