My work with Substance Designer and Substance Painter.

K

Hi guys!

Ill share some of the things I made with Substance designer and painter here. I'm a texture generalist (if there is such a thing, mostly uv-mapping and texturing models, but also seamless materials and other procedural artwork like plants and terrains, which I also texture with Substance Designer).

All feedback is welcome. Cheers!

K

I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I got it to work. Bent screws! Now onto cleaning the graph, and then onto the next project .


Thanks for all the feedback guys!

K

Thanks Klown!

Its great fun working like this. I can only share what i make in my free time on my blog, but i can share screenshots of some commercial work. Can you show me how the final results look for your wood? Would love to see it.

For the knots you can use the dynamic gradient instead of a manually created one, that will give you more or less rings without any effort .

Cheers!

Your Substance skills are intense. Thanks for sharing some of your files too, the knots have come in extremely handy for a texture I'm curently working on!

I have also been trying to so a similar thing to you with nails positioned in from a series of planks, but cant figure out a way to position them just in from the end of each plank. Would you mind sharing how you accomplished this?

K

Thanks Dustykhan,

I would love to see what you've used the knots in (If you guys want to share screenshots i will put them on my blog in the wood post if you would like that).

What I did (cant share too much, sorry). Was copy the bricks node I used for the boards, and have a wide gap for each board at the horizontal ends. That gap-mask inverted is what I use to select nails near the edge of the boards.

Thanks for the compliments!

Another free substance. This time an alien looking material based on a reaction diffusion pattern.

Enjoy!

Get the files here.

Raelly cool stuff here, nice job!

Hello!

Very interesting work! Thanks for sharing! I really like how the final version of your dungeon wall looks. The Grout / cement came up great.

What was your inspiration for the Alien material?

K

Thanks guys!

@DanleiR17,
Yeah that dungeon wall was a lot of fun to make. I used some directional warps to get the random look on the stones, and scatter the noises. Also the slope blur helped with the grout. (Pulling it down with several slope blurs, and using a max blend to mix it together).

For the alien material i kind of improvised. I had to make a reaction diffusion pattern for termite damage in another material, and thought that pattern could be used for something strange and cool. So i just made a paint and metal material, added some dirt and weird glowing stuff. Just to show off that pattern i guess haha. You could use it for coral, brains, fur, and more alien stuff.

I did love the alien movies and prometheus. Perhaps some of that rubbed off on this material?

Cheers!

Great work, thanks for the share.

K

Another rotting wood. I like the pin-pricks where the termites burrowed into.

K

Some progress. I had to blend the normals for the wood and stucco separately. The normals for the wood were very shallow before. This looks a bit more balanced.

K

Splat!

Working on blood splatter decals. I tried the particle brushes in Painter, but couldn't get the look I wanted. This is in SD5.

K

Last one for the day. Working on a nasty arterial spray/gush decal. Watching Dexter helped haha.

K

Enough practice for the day. (Had a day off ).

This will be a new free substance on my blog when its done.

Have a good weekend guys .

Small updates to my dungeon wall:



Once I can get Marmoset Toolbag I can show the heightmap a bit better.

dungeon wall looks cool!

Working on a mould decal. There is a slider to get different moulds, and a few for adjusting the shape of the decal.

In Unreal you can easily instance the substance to get loads of variations with just one import.

K

Almost there, I'll label the graph, and later this week it should be on my blog .

1K:



4K:

K

Done!

In lower resolutions then 1K it kind of falls apart, but as a 1K decal it looks pretty convincing.

WarrenM

... You did that web procedurally? GTFO...

bugo

using the polar to cartesian?

K

Its 100% procedural .

I used the Cartesian to polar (or was it polar to Cartesian?) to make the spiral and the "star, and loads of warps and blurs to get the web to look more realistic. There is an adjustable parameter in there for gravity influence, causing the web to sag a bit too.

K

Hi guys, here is another free substance. This time a ancient ruined pavement. Check the link for more renders, the RAR containing the 4K maps, and the Substance source files.

Enjoy!

K

Working on a cliff material:

K

Small updates on the cliff. Exposed some parameters, made a better heightmap too. Now its polishing and after that, publishing .






This one doesnt use a PBR shader, in order to show the tesselation.

Same here.

Bruno Afonseca

Love the last ones! Subscribing

K

Thanks Bruno!
The cliff will be a free download later on. Ill post here when its online ,

Cheers!

K

Going from 256x256 to 4096x4096.

Lower resolution holds up quite nicely!

K

The cliff in Marmoset toolbag.

I'm new to the toolbag, so I'm still working on a nice scene to show the materials in.

Hopefully they will integrate Substance Designer 5 substances soon .

The cliff will be a free substance downloadable from my blog. 100% procedural.

leandrojsj

Good job, the quality is very good

K

Thanks Leandrojsj!

I just need to clean the graph up a bit and then i will put the SBS and SBSAR files online. .

K

The free cliff substance is online.

Enjoy!

Download it here.

That is honestly one of the coolest Substances I have seen yet! Nice going dude! I'm gonna download it and have a little play =P

Thanks Whalebones!

Let me know if you have questions about the graph etc.

If you do use the substance, screenshots are more then welcome .

Cheers!

Some Marmoset goodness with my wood board substance. balancing the height map is tricky, but the results are sweet!

K

Here is another free substance:

Hi guys,

Im currently available for work. Feel free to contact me.

Cheers!

Vendetti

Awesome stuff!

K

Thanks Vendetti

Working on a new free Substance. This time a classic fan style pavement. (I noticed this was a very popular pattern here, so decided to try it for myself ).


What is left to do are the bevels, they are a bit too sharp. The diffuse, roughness and metallic maps. Dirtying it up, and refining the patterns a bit.
So far around 1.5 hour spent on researching the pattern and translating it into substance.

Almost there:

Hey, Kay, just wanted to say thanks for making these available for download on your site. I'm learning SD right now and these are a huge help in the process.

K

Hi guys! Here is a new free substance. This time a fan-style pavement. Enjoy!





More renders.

These are so cool! I just downloaded the trial for Substance designer a couple weeks ago. I'm definitely thinking I will buy the license after my trial runs out. I'm amazed at how some people like yourself can make all these materials procedurally. I've only done simple stuff so far.

K

Thanks Bryan77! Looking forward to what you make .

K

Updated my gallery, and added a training section.

Check it out!

Poinball

Training !!! This is a good idea !

K

Some WIP screens of my WM terrain, pulled through Substance Designer. Just a 2d plane with the material on it, but you get the idea
