Moh's Texture Sketchbook

Hi everyone! I wanted to learn more about texturing and been watching some tutorials on zbrush/substance designer.

Here's the first one for the sketchbook, a ceramic bathroom floor, part of an abandoned environment setting done in substance designer for practice. Learning my way around substance designer while I was doing this one and also learned a lot about PBR






I was wondering are AAA studios working with PBR texturing now or the other way (compiling and putting shadows right onto one layer in Photoshop)? I want to practice more of the industry workflows to get use to it, any advice would help me greatly! thank you!

Well we try to not have AO in our Albedo's , they can however be applied in another way with another texture. Making sure the engine uses it right.

I think most studios will try and work with PBR workflow these days, especially the ones going for realistic-looking games.

Hi there nice work,

you might want to clean up the sculpt for the rock texture though, maybe flatten it out with the trim smooth border brush or claypolish it.,

Thanks Jonas!
I love all your organic rocks sculpts and textures, they're amazing!

I was definitely lazy with those rocks I did..much clean up needed on those thanks for the suggestion
