which "new" technique they use in star citizen ?

Gikkio

Hi people! 
I have a question, I can not understand even if I watched the video several times.
So  I thought I'd ask here, the place where they gather the best 3d.

in this video minute 22.10 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY_NkFtAAPY&t=1433s

For CIG of Star Citizen, the artist talk about a " NEW METHOD" for create the texturing, so i can control all the effects about lighting samply.
Is a part of this video:

I say " Now we can control and change the texturing, without work on PhotoS" 
Ok, But WHAT is this "new mathod" ?
In the image i suppose to use the REAL- TIME  PAINTING in Substance Painter? 
But i can't understand, what's the "new methos for paint this texturing" ! 
thank you

Eric, texture ARRAY?

Gikkio

This topic is about the decals, not for this new method.
The topic is 2015, so it's not the news they were talking about.

It sounds like they are just talking about PBR with substance materials in general.
I dont really understand the question to be honest, they are explaining and even showing pretty much what they are doing. watch the video around 30 min mark.

Mmmm just that it seemed strange to hear about CIG artists, this GREAT news about the use of real time painting on the model and PBR.

I mean ... this are techniques that everyone uses today, I do not think this "great" and innovative novelties.

At the bottom is "only" Substance Painter: D
Today it found the texture painting in PBR ?

Oh yeah sorry, it's not the decal tech. Yes, they are talking about using PBR.

We have a bunch of PBR info on our wiki, should help explain what it is and how it works.
