Lemaire Romain - SubstanceBook

Hey guys, long time lurker here so i want this year to be a little different.
I'm creating this post to share my work on substance designer.

I'm planning to drop at least one substance per month but we will see if i have the time and the motivation for it , hope this post help ^^.

First quick doodle, I found the reference on the mattershots insta, It's a sculpture by Benoit Averly (you should see his work it's really inspiring)

New doodle i made in between some contract and a bigger project

A more complete work i just finished, for now ...





Tried to proceduralize the textures work on Hots, and found some good node on the process.

I will definitely continue in this way too found some other good pipeline.

Nice work on the stylized floors. Did you start with a Tile Random node to get that disordered look? Or did you create a grayscale input map in photoshop first to get the basic layout done?

N4meless

Well i tried to have a really random look, but the tile random lack too much control, and i don't find any way to create randomness without L shape, so I just used an opus pattern node i found a long time ago .

Polynaught

That's what I experienced as well. The Tile Random node delivers an approximation of opus tiles - but nothing beats the original. Your trimming and widening nodes look cool. Any tricks you might share on how you did these? I also like how clean and crisp your cracks are looking - they really fit the style.

N4meless

they need more polish before i can say more about them (the gif are not even the same node than what i used on the texture) but when they are ready I will probably made them available on gumroad. But they are really not that complicated, the widening is just a good use of blur, and the trimming is a bevel i use un darken to carve the edge .

Really nice !

Another study I made with the node I came out last time.
Wanted to do more stylized substance but fortunatelly i have too much work for personnal stuff so I prefer to release only this one  
The texture is still inspired by the works of Michael Vincente on HOTS.

Another substance, wanted to make a good old organic work, but was looking for a twist too get away from all the generic one. With some experiment on i found something quite interesting ;p 

so here is my take on cavern rock but infested by spider ! artstation

And another organic one, just in time for halloween ! Was fun to do and a cool way to test my eye generator substance.

Do you have a gumroad page to sell your substances? Still interested in your crack / edge widening tools.

N4meless

I think i will clean some of my tools and made some of them available at the start of next year, just need the time to make it right.

Also here is my entry for the nodevember by the mentor coallition: Some creepy (again) stuff ^^ more on my artstation
