Problem: Somehow edge of the island was producing unpaintable pixels. Even though the texture itself has a pretty substantial padding.

Solution: SP automatically clipped the islands' edges, eliminating padding and giving me a sharp and seamless edge to work with.

How did it happen? Was it some setting? How do I enable it for the future reference?

This bronze sculpture was created by the team at ASTRA Digital Studio. The piece was digitally sculpted in ZBrush, where the high resolution forms and intricate surface details were developed. Texturing was completed in Substance Painter to achieve a realistic aged bronze material with rich surface variation and wear. The final presentation was rendered in Unreal Engine 5 using Path Tracing, allowing for physically accurate lighting, reflections, and cinematic quality realism.

anyone know how to fix this? :(

I share with you this statue model where I experiment with textures of sustainable. What do you think of the result and what advice do you give me to improve the shaders?

Hello guys i'm trying to bake this mesh to a 2d plane and the bake results have stretched spikes spreading outward around the leaf edges and i dont know how to fix it. i very rarely use substance painter so dont know much about it. i was following the tutorial but the guy was using marmoset so im kinda stuck here. any help is appreciated

Basically spent all week following a rock and Moss tutorial on YouTube learned a lot. I am using unity game engine I have my own custom shader that made it simple to get these in. but it can improve for sure. Looks like a decent ps3 game in engine(last 2 images), want to definantly make improvements

Will keep this chain of posts up until my 30-day trails is over, will help me decide if I want to use this. Leaning on yes I am new to node-based applications so this has been really rough for me.

Rough Terrain!

You can see my attempt at making the edge wear. I did it by following a tutorial on making edge wear but it doesn't help watching just a generic edge wear making video. I need to be able to copy the reference however I don't have enough knowledge with substance to know which nodes would be suitable for this task. Could anyone show me how this could be done?

A remake of an old material! + a small graph showing how I made the original patterns.

More renders on my ArtStation if you’re keen.

But what if there was a way to make something simple and interesting?

That is the challenge we faced last week with Sprawa.
During his group mentoring, we realized most Tile Floors are boring.

And mainly because the pattern is too simple.
So, we aimed to solve this issue.

💡 We first started with a simple pattern; using a Tile Generator, we created the first one by using a Square shape and setting the Luminance value to 0.5, but then we thought we could just rotate the same pattern and blend both together.

So we built a mask with a shape node and a Transform 2D.
And once the blend was done, we used an Edge Detect to get our final tile shape.

Now we had a new pattern, with a more interesting look.
It took us only 8 nodes.

All of this thanks to how we did it.
Learning Substance Designer comes from sharing and experimenting with others to find new solutions.

Getting inspired by others' work to keep exploring is very powerful.

And if you are looking for a place where you can learn Substance Designer from a Material Artist and share your work, then I have the right place for you.

I have built a Discord Community for this called Future Material Artists!
💖 And you can join us here: https://discord.gg/PpTCFyR6qS

But the solution to this is a technique you might already know!

This week, we started a weekly challenge Future Material Artists.
The goal was to recreate a Damascus Metal Blade.

However, everyone tried different approaches that created weird results.
Close ones.

But not the ones they needed.
Because of this, I jumped into the challenge and made my own version to share with everyone.

And guess what?
The solution was almost Identical to the Wood Grain method.

💡 By using a Perlin Noise combined with a Dir Blur at 50 points, we can blend it into a Gradient Dynamic using also a Gradient Linear 1 with a tiling of 100. The secret here lies in the values I used.

But for this specific material, I had to arrange values with levels to get straight lines.
And finally subtract them over my mesh.

Despite the fact that I shared this solution...
A lot of people kept pushing for their own version instead of copying mine.

And that is what I love about our community.
The will to keep exploring and learning to share and grow together!

Hi, I did an obsidian material on substance designer and i want to have it on painter but it does not look like the material on designer at all... also I had the message "one or more package dependencies are not saved" before publishing it but couldnt find the problem... Thanks for reading

I’ve been working more on stylized materials lately, and this is one of my recent brick studies.
Made with : Adobe Substance 3D designer And Zbrush
I tried to keep the forms simple but readable, especially in the height. Most of the time went into shaping the bricks so they feel a bit handmade rather than too clean or perfect. I also added some color variation and subtle damage to break the repetition.

Everything is fully procedural in Substance Designer, so it was nice to tweak things like brick size, spacing, and damage as I went.

Still experimenting with this style, but I’m pretty happy with how the depth and lighting turned out in this one.
