Style DNA Profiler

Purpose

Profiles a selected object or material set to reveal dominant colors from material textures, shader usage, and surface tendencies, then lets you build a multi-capture scene DNA palette session for broader art-direction review.

Menu path

• Tools/EQLabs/Creation/Art/Style DNA Profiler

How to use

1. Select the materials or the prop you want to profile, or assign a target object inside the window.
2. Open Style DNA Profiler from the Art menu and build the profile so the tool can sample the material textures and generate the current dominant palette.
3. Review the summary values for metallic, smoothness, saturation, brightness, warm or cool bias, then inspect the palette and shader frequency list for that capture.
4. Use Capture Current To Scene DNA each time you want to add another prop, kit piece, or material group into the same scene-wide style session, then remove any unwanted swatches from the Curated Export Palette or run Merge Similar Colors with the tolerance slider to collapse near-duplicate swatches.
5. Export the current JSON report for a single capture, or export the Scene DNA JSON and palette sheet when you want a combined profile of multiple captures.
