Free Workshop of Procedural Materials - Inland Empire, CA AI

bugo · May 2015

I've posted this on the substance forums, but I figured maybe some people would also be interested. Here's what I'm going to present:

- Intro to procedural materials
- Workflow of using procedural texturing into a game pipeline
- Creating a Substance tileable material from scratch
- QA and portfolio reviews

If you are interested, come down, it's free:

I hope to see some of you there, if you end up going, please RSVP in there, and say ur going.

Found this on the Facebook page.

Procedural materials, or procedural textures? The two are different things.

I mean in substance you tend to generate all the maps that make up a material.

Yes, there will be live streaming. Even tho I will be answering questions there, so if you can join us, it would be great.

Procedural textures that combined get into a material, therefore, you can call procedural materials

Wish this was in the UK, I'll definitely be watching the stream!

I hope to watch as well, I don't mind working with procedural materials, it may make me consider purchasing !

You can use Substance Designer for High Resolution as well, correct, not only game creation ?

It's a 4 hour lecture ? Can someone post the Live YouTube link before the lecture goes live, not 5 minutes before it goes live either.

Shame that it is cut off, would have liked to hear what he had to say about the end result, because as he stated it's still not "good enough". A photo sourced or scanned material would still look better after a similar time investment I think, obviously not as tweakable or reusable though.

I have yet to watch the lecture; it does look powerful, more efficient at creating all kinds of effects then doing it hand painted as I'm accustomed too.

Well I can say right here, I was timed contrained, so I couldn't keep going, but I would have get the dirt to show the pebbles a bit more, i would have more edge quality instead of the blobbiness I left, I would be creating dirt and dust where the edges of the cobblestone meet the floor, the dirt spaces could have been a bit more random and not so large, I could have added a bit more moss.... and then, I could have deleted the whole graph and done in a completely different way, or I could have sent the heightmap to zbrush and manually done what I wanted there. hehe

The main purpose was to show that you can use procedural tools for your workflow.
