To find the substance name

1. In Lumberyard Editor, choose Tools, Plug-ins, Substance Editor.

2. Browse to the substance material that you want. The substance material name appears in the Substance field and the graph name appears in the tab.

   Example

   The substance material path is materials/substance/brickwall_04.sbsar and the graph name BrickWall_04 appears in the tab.

   

3. Copy the substance material path and in the Find by Name and Index node, do the following:

   1. For Substance Name, paste the substance material path.

   2. For Graph Index, specify the graph that you want. The far-left tab is index 0, the next is 1, and so on. If the substance material has only one graph, leave the Graph Index field as 0.
