In terms of stability both film and games are in a reeeeeaaaally scary place right now and competitiveness is through the roof and then some. If you're in a position of stability right now then it might be worth it to think about focusing on where you'd like to land a few years down the road and take this time to build a…
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a material in Substance Designer that I need to get a Specular and Glossiness outputs from.

hello im working on a blend texture for a special effect. this texture blends over multiple props in the scene, and i am having problems with different props having slightly different texel densities. so im wondering if there is a way to have the blend textures UV scale in all the materials that use it the same, by maybe…
So I have two normal maps, one for my overall terrain (1) and one for the terrain materials (2). http://prntscr.com/6l7dg6 What I want to do is blend these two together effectively.

I have been trying to do this using a distance based solution which I use for blend textures out to avoid tiling repetition, but this doesn't seem to be…

I have markings in white, greys and browns so would like for them to show in XGen, not one colour. I have looked at many tutorials and haven't found a solution, I need help as I have no idea what to…

It has inputs for specular as follows: * Specular - Influences brightness of spec* Specular color - defines color of specularity* Specular roughness - controlls glosines / roughness of the mesh* Specular IOR* Specular Anistropy* Specular rotatation In my case i have one spec map that…
Note that since Substance Painter 1.6.0 you can even drag and drop filters directly from the shelf into your layer stack. That will setup the layer in passthrough mode automatically. :)
You'd better start figuring out the software pipeline and code you and your team are going to use before actually asking for advice. on a side note: That image opened the floodgates.
