My Substance Designer Journey

allengingrich

Finally took some time to try to create a decent material with SD while keeping an organized graph. I'm going to be focusing on Designer for a few weeks to try to get my skills up to par.

First on the list was today: creating rocky dirt. C&C VERY MUCH welcome!

I believe you may have sRGB Colour Space accidently unchecked in your Albedo options in Marmoset

First time using Marmoset, so I thought you were right, but I just checked and it's not. What made you think that?

Red brick wall with displacement.

Working on a "dirt and leaves" substance. Coming along nicely!

Made a "sea wall" this morning. Kind of like when you can't tell it's manmade or organic -- maybe both. Really looking for C&C here, if you can help me improve. Thanks!

Doing a wood herringbone for my hallway scene.

Making a base for a desert scene. Going to make variations with large rocks and no rocks. Any suggestions here or critiques?

Just created easily my best substance yet. Cobblestone.

I realized while that last one was nice, I don't really think it was cobblestone. Here's another try.

Dilapidated tile floor.

Well done for keeping posting even though nobody has commented really. Your definitely getting better your second cobble stone is pretty good. One thing I've learned since learning substance designer is to try get different ranges of colour into you materials something you could maybe try working on
Also your cracks in the stones look really procedural need to try and mix them up with a slope blur and directional warp which are two of the best nodes in my opinion haha I use them all the time. 
Keep going

Thanks so much for the input. Yes, out of all the 3D I do, I truly enjoy making Substances the most. I figured one day someone might reply! Finding out that Iray existed in SD was a recent find and a big helper for me. It's good to actually see what I'm making now. I plan on cranking way more of these out.

I agree on the cracks. Someone actually told me the same thing on Facebook about the cracks and I totally agree with your methodology.

Stone block walls for my RE7 environment I'm working on.

Haven't touched SD in months, but needed a telephone pole material, so quickly got this done in between work breaks.
