Fabric for Unreal 4

RonanMahon

 After a decade in AAA, I spent my first few months as an IndieDev in a new country with a scissors in one hand and Substance Designer and a baby bottle in the other.

Using the Allegorithmic tutorial posted here as a guide I built a home material scanner out of sawn up IKEA tables and a lazy susan. From this humble setup I was able to make 56 unique 4K Fabric Materials for UE4.  My setup in Designer was fairly close to the tutorial with some added things like gradient mapping, subsurface color etc.

Substance Designer


And my UE4 material setup

I then put together a little promo in Unreal showing the Fabrics in use.

You can now download them on the Unreal Marketplace: http://bit.ly/RonanUE4 

There are some more images and videos on my Artstation

I'll soon release the materials for Substance Painter and Designer after I've added some more functionality like grime and wear etc.

I found I learned a lot about shading and looking at real life reference while doing this project. I also cut holes in my in-law's clothing.
Please let me know if I could improve anything or if you have any questions!
Or if you know any good Dad jokes

Thank you,
Ronan

Thanks @Ashervisalis I put together a write up ( is blogging still a thing??) that goes into more detail about my process here:
