Beards Substance Studies

Bearded_Man

Hi guys,

basically I have been looking into incorporating substance designer into my current Work flow so I thought I would see what I could come up with. I have just dipped my feet into it yesterday and loving it so far. I fancy making a few varied substances ranging from metal, brick, wood etc.

This particular texture started with an industrial / sci-fi approach in mind.

I would be very grateful for some critic and input along the way as I know Iam barley scratching the surface with what Substance Designer can do.

Cheers

I think the painted metal is too shiny. It should be a lot more rough. Painted metal should be represented as black in the metal map in most cases. If it already is i'd suggest just lightening up the roughness in that area.

Looks well, but there is no metal seams... to solid

The pattern bump on the bare metal looks great. I agree that the spec on the paint is too high, especially with the rust.

I feel like the cracks and the area around the rivets would have accumulated more grime.

Good luck with Substance!

I was expecting procedural facial hair generation...

This is still cool though!

Haha, sorry fingus. Cheers I will play about with getting the painted metal looking not so burnt out. Iam thinking of producing some wear / scuffs on the edges of the yellow metal and also thought possibly wearing away the embossed tread parts so they look scuffed back to bare sheen metal in order to produce some zing in the light.
Cheers.

Just a small update.

I have been working away on the substance and have decided to take on board comments made and have taken back some of the rust as I was not happy with the result and also some of the grime on the metal was not looking right to me, too dark in places.
I have taken a slightly different approach now and here is what I have currently.
thoughts?
Cheers


how do you print screen

Hi guys,
I have recently been experimenting with incorporating some ware and weathering into the texture so any thoughts would be most helpful as Iam not sure how far to take it before it becomes too grimy and noisy. I have mainly been working up the rust and edge ware on the metal caution trims with a further idea to produce worn paint over the tread plate much like the ref image above.

I have not yet corrected the roughness and metallic maps yet.

Cheers

Just been working on the roughness and metallic maps within Sub Designer. Still thinking of laying worn yellow painted metal over main part of the tread plate but its been looking abit overkill with the yellow.

Cheers
