Re: 3ds Max / Substance Painter - Problems with Normal Maps
You don't need to composite the map in PS. That's what the 'bake ny mesh name' feature is in SP. Name your meshes accordingly and with a _low and _high suffix and make sure bake by mesh name is active in the bake settings in SP. Export your low and high meshes in a single .fbx each and SP will read the names in the file.… -

Hey guys, I'm currently texturing a model of mine which has some transparent glass. Now the I haven't finished the texturing part but I previewed the viewer and the glass came out like this: This is it in Substance Painter: I'm using Substance Painter for the texturing if that helps at all(the glass appears normal in… -
Re: Texturing with softwares such as quixel/substance vs manually in the Photoshop
The principle advantage of tools like QS and SP is that you're painting across all channels of a material in a purpose built PBR environment. You can still create PBR textures in PS as they're still just textures, but being able to view the end result of your in-game asset, pretty much 1:1, while you're texturing is… -
Re: [Need help] The Normals on some faces are weird shadered...
To get a little more specific from NoRank's comment, If you use 3dsmax, you can do this: with your finished model, make a new poly edit modifier, grab all verts and hit Connect. This will triangulate everything - this way you can always remove or toggle the modifier. 80% of the time, SP will turn all my non-triangulated… -
Re: How to line up details on modular objects (see image)?
Apart from @Mant1k0re 's solid advice, one way to do it is to have an edgeloop of the 2 pieces in the exact same place and just turn on wireframe in SP when you're painting. That way you can paint the normal detail along that exact edgeloop ensuring consistency. Also, earlier you said you can't bring both meshes to SP. Why… -
Re: Modular PBR Texture Workflow/ Demo AAA scene for unity? (Looking for advice)
You're right, what you're doing now is more geared towards unique assets(edgewear/dirt based on ao/curvature. For modular reusable textures you would need Substance Designer or build the shader in-engine. In SD you can author the textures so that the parameters are exposed (all the SP materials are built this way) you can… -
Re: Is 3d Coat worth it?

Sculpting fabric/wrinkles: Zbrush or Substance Painter?
I am modeling a sofa which has good amount of wrinkles. Since i want to sculpt them in ZB and then bake the details in the Normal Map, one senior artist suggested me to paint the wrinkles using Height Brush in SP. He is telling it's non-destructive workflow (for eg. controlling height later). But I think that I have much… -
