Re: What should I learn?
You can use whatever in Substance Painter , you just wouldn't be able to tweak procedurals in Painter directly until they are properly exported from Substance designer . Painter is still able to use rasterized bitmap images you would export from Blender. Saying all this you should understand that you can use Blender… -
Re: (Two Topics) Textures that Mimic 3D?
Hi, some personal notes:- On YouTube, remember that you can increase the playback speed on the player to like 1.5x, this helps a LOT when it's a slow speaker. And don't rule out text material as it can be very helpful too, especially if it comes with animated GIFs like these:… -
Re: Zbrush visualization error
That just light hitting from a different angle. I don't see a problem. Looks like wood grain to me. I'd send it to where you are making your final render and see if it really is a problem at all.

Skymap workflow
When I was working on my UC entry I tried to figure out how Epic did their skymaps and why they did it that way. I know now how but not entirely why since there is a bit of waste UV wise. They could be used as reflection maps, but a proper cubemap would be a better option due to it actually having a ground in the map.… -
Trying to work with the Color Grading
EDIT 2 - Alright, no. I was wrong. It was actually the one in the website, but when you import it you have to set up the import stuff in a way I didn't know.
