3DKyle Texture Art Sketchbook

3DKyle · Feb 2016

Hi all!

Thought I will post some textures that I been working on.
This isn't going to be a pure substance or DDO/Ndo post, I'm going to be using various pieces of software to create these textures and better myself.

I hope everyone will enjoy what I make and share and I'm always looking for some feedback.

Thanks for reading

Here is what I've got so far, the last image of the tiles is what I'm currently working on, I'm not happy about either the lava or concrete and plan on re-doing this in the future.

Some work in progress on a currently texture I'm working on using Zbrush and Photoshop to color it.

The rock chunks that are coming out of the mud are looking more like shards of glass to me, they either need to be more exposed out of the ground of generally just way less sharp but I'd put my money on going for chunkier rocks than bringing them more out of the ground... I also feel as if the mud is too uniform in colour, it could do with some colour variation for depth/variety. Good attempt though

3DKyle · Apr 2016

@Kid.in.the.Dark thanks for the feedback, I did some more color variation and changed up the rocks like you mentioned, calling this finished now.

Learnt a lot from doing this.

Hey Guys,

For those who are interested in a Herringbone pattern generator for Substance Designer you can download one now on Substance Share -https://share.allegorithmic.com/libraries/2023

This Herringbone was created by myself and @josh_lynch who created a tutorial on how to make this Herringbone pattern. My contribution to this was adding some math and editing some functions to stop any tiling issues.

You can watch Josh's tutorial on Gumroad via this link -https://gum.co/ZUJoF

If you have any issues or would like to send feedback on the pattern itself then drop me an email or message via Facebook.

3DKyle · Jun 2016

Hey everyone!

I've just released a new tutorial, again for free. https://gum.co/haUSe

The tutorial will go over how to create an function to fix possible tiling issues that may arise during development of your own Substance Nodes.
The example in the video shown will be that of the Herringbone Pattern.

This is a slightly technical one too as I use math operators, but I do explain what they do.

For a preview you can check out this link - www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vXeV-UjngI

3DKyle · Dec 2016

Start of a new week for the Substance Doodles

Aether · Dec 2016

Hey Kyle, nice work, you have some really nice textures here. I especially like the Tiles, Herringbone and Gold coins textures. There are a few of your lunch time doodles which don't have names/descriptions, it would be nice to see the names so we have a better understanding of what you are aiming for. Looking forward to seeing more of these!

3DKyle · Dec 2016

@Aether Thanks for the comment, the doodles on the artstation page have names on them. I also have most of the reference on my pinterest which I either loosely have followed or tried to copy 1-1.

3DKyle · Jan 2017

More recent doodles. If anyone is interested in coming along to the streams just click the twitch in my signature, there will be old videos you can watch too and see how they are made if you like.

3DKyle · Jan 2017

Complied together my Substance Doodles I did this week. Most likely going to be the last one for a while as want to spend more time on other stuff. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1WPN8

Silohx · Jan 2017

These are looking amazing! Love the detail on your textures!

FuriousTribble · Jan 2017

These are pretty outstanding. I am definitely going to be grabbing some of your gumroad tutorials.

LuisCherubini · Jan 2017

Awesome textures man! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the kind comment guys.
Wanted to show a view things.

I did a 80.lv article about my texture work. You can find the article here - https://80.lv/articles/dissecting-materials-shape-color-roughness-presentation/

You most likely have seen it but I also started up the Substance Challenge again, hope to see some of you joining in on it.
