How it works
  • Each week I will be posting a new texture for us to make.
  • You are free to approach it from any way you would like.
  • Deadlines aren't enforced. Just encouraged, but feel free to do any you have miss.

Guidelines

  • Rookies to pros, all are welcome to join in.
  • Please critique when possible, this is for learning.
  • Ask questions. If you are struggling you can ask for help.
  • Posting WIP's is encouraged. It's always good to see peoples process and development .
  • Use of height/displacement maps are welcome.
  • Display the textures in any real time engine. (Marmoset, UE4, Cryengine, Unity, etc.)
  • Procedural only, no importing masks, diffuse or normals. It's rough at first but the best way to learn.
  • If you display your nodes please make them close enough to read.
  • Sharing of substance files is most welcome. It's a great resource to learn from. (please list your version for ease of use)
  • If you are game, go further and use parameters to create alterable textures.

If you feel anything should be modified or added to these guidelines, please let me know.

There is a skype group, PM me if you'd like to join!

Week 3- Wood Planks

This week we focus on warps. Controlling a warp for the thread of wood or marble can be essential. From this week on we will have two references for different skill levels. You are welcome to do both should you choose.

Week 4- Fabric
You can change the colours if you'd like.

Take the fabric texture you've made and add the input parameters so you will be able to turn off and on a pattern you've added, with a button. Expose parameters so you able to add creases or bumps ontop of your flat fabric.

If you'd like to go even further; make it so that your texture can be altered to look wet or dirty or both.

Week 5- Sand
We're begining to move into organic territory!
