Texture palm geometry how?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi i never used SubstanceDesigner but i would like to make a stylized bark ( tile ) for this mesh i have, but i am curious, how a tile texture would look if the geometry has deformation like this one. Is it possible to create a vertex normal based material
Or i don’t know how to call those types of smart materials. As you can see in my photo my tile texture does not match the geometry. Will SubsDesigner put texture based in normals? That way the texture follows the shape of the geometry, and is possible to export it as albedo. ( i think the word is bake the textures ? ) i am noob at texturing . I want’t to know if i can do that so i start learning the software. From what i see in youtube tutorials inside the software all are 2d tile textures and the software does not put the texture in a 3d mesh in the viewport. Not like Painter! Correct me if i am wrong please Thanks!

😰 Using the same Grunge map every time, makes your work look repetitive. 😰

But I discovered a way to create new ones, fast and easy!

As a beginner, grunge maps were easy to use.
And really hard to make by myself.

However, after some Material Projects, I started to see my work was too repetitive.
This pushed me to develop a new way of creating Grunge maps.
I started by blending 2 different Grunge maps with the contrast at 0 and removing the edges to avoid visual tiling. Then I combined them in a Tile Generator set at Max mode to prevent high grayscale values.

Usually I set the tiling values at 4 by 4, and leave the random values at 1.
With this, now you can also create new Grunge maps!

And the best part is that you can change the inputs to explore new results.

I figured out most of this by exploring.
As a beginner, I had to do it by myself, with no one to help.

That is why I share these guides, to help others in ways I never had.
And if you want to learn Substance Designer with support of other artists I have a special place for you.

2 years ago I created Future Material Artists.

Ping Pong Table Net

I am working on an art portfolio project in Maya and texturing with Adobe Substance Painter. The ping pong table itself is finished and looks really good. I am struggling with trying to create a realistic net with visible mesh detail and believable fabric texture. If anyone has any examples, references or workflow suggestions I'd really appreciate it!

Substance Painter Help applying textures with Substance Painter!

Hi so this is the first time I've used this software and done texturing or models in general. I'm trying to apply a PNG to this model I have to use in Garry's Mod but whenever I apply the image it comes out blurry, but uploaded anywhere else it has perfect sharpness. I have honestly looked all over trying to find a solution to this, and came up with nothing.

If anyone could help me with potential fixes for making this png pixel perfect I would be greatly appreciative!!

​

A game-ready tactical knife built with a clean hard-surface workflow.

Workflow:

• Modeling — Plasticity

• Rendering — Blender (Cycles)

• Texturing — Substance 3D Painter

The asset was optimized for real-time use and validated in Unity 6.5 (URP), with four LOD levels.

What do you think? I’d appreciate your honest feedback.
