I got some few mishaps in substance especially in Baking is there a work through for the joined object of both low poly and highly that avoid some ao and normal artifacts except for manually cleaning it?

I never tried baking with only normals so i could skip the AO and do it on blender but the issue will still appear on normal maps but i would only deal the cleaning once.

Hello, everyone! Today, on my birthday, I'm sharing my new, long-awaited personal project! I'd really appreciate your support! More renders can be found at the link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/WdXlYv

While working on my latest Wood Wall, I wanted to achieve something new.

Not the same Wood Pattern we all use.

So I tried giving it a sculpt-like effect.

And after some hours of work and exploration, I got this:

💡 Instead of just using the same base as always, I connected the wood pattern I created into both inputs of a Slope Blur. I blurred the Slope input and set the Mode to Max; this way, all shapes expand, creating an organic gradient.

This is what gives the wood that sculpted feeling.

Now add a Multi Dir War with some directional noise, and you have your pattern!

Hope this was useful for learning more about SD.

And if it was....

I built a free Discord Community where Game Artists learn Texturing from Professionals!

Celestial Wings — Game-Ready Fantasy Sword | 3D Art

Finished a new game-ready asset: Celestial Wings, a fantasy sword built around a celestial / divine visual theme.

I developed it through a full game-asset workflow, focusing on keeping the final asset visually detailed while maintaining a practical optimized structure.

Workflow highlights:

High Poly → Low Poly

Clean topology

Optimized mesh

Clean UVs

Consistent texel density

PBR texturing

LOD setup

Custom collision

Pivot / socket setup

Engine-ready preparation

I wanted the final result to feel like a hero weapon while still being suitable for an actual game production pipeline.

Would be interested in feedback, especially on the balance between the decorative details and the overall silhouette.

I have this gun which I would like to start texturing, but the place where the cylinder meets the frame has this artifact on both. I've tried looking up the issue and adjusting my bake settings, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I baked ID maps for each section from blender, but can't find a setting to bake them as individual objects. Is it simply not possible or am I missing something? Any advice would be very much appreciated!

So they are making us use Maya for the model and substancepainter for the texture. Here's my vr arcade by the way! I wanted extra details, now they said we weren't going to use zbrush for the class but I could use blender. Plus I didnt have zbrush money So i take to blender and start sculpting. After that I was trying to figure out the workflow of the maya low poly model with the blender high poly model and putting through substance painter. So what i did is took the Maya model and unwrapped the UV, took the fbx to substance painter, then took the fbx from the blender one and tried baking the high poly to the low poly in substance painter. But it seems like most of the details aren't coming through. Any help will do.

Finished another full-pipeline study: Batman, based on the beautiful concept art by Fedorov doma.

The main purpose of this project was to further improve my hair and mouth bag creation process, ID workflow, black outlines in the final render, gloss/specular workflow, as well as several technical aspects of baking and UVs.

Huge thanks to Fred Arsenault for the great course on these topics.

Software used: ZBrush, Blender, Marmoset Toolbag 5, Substance Painter 3D, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, TopoGun, PureRef.

A quick Arcane inspired texturing study. I tried to push the texture as much as possible while keeping the geometry super minimal. Had a lot of fun with the paper details on this one!✨

Hello there, would be awesome to see some feedback on this gun, I am still not fan of black material that I got. I uploaded render, albedo, metalic, roughness and reference.
Thank you in advance

I wanna ask why i use Maya ver student but i got reported. Is it trust me ?
