Started on a new scene a while ago, been working on it on and off the past few weeks or so.. Wanted to try and tackle a scene and texture everything entirely using Substance Designer. We use it a lot at work and I've been getting my own set-up sorted at home. This software is just so powerful, it's really blown me away. Nothing in the scene so far is textured in Photoshop.

5 points if you guess the game, shouldn't be too hard here on Mapcore

Looks ace so far Whitedevil, feels quite realistic!

Saw this today with my girlfriend.. We both fuckin' loved it. It's absolutely insane, and we said we didn't properly calm down until 10/15 minutes after the film. What an experience!

This looks awesome! Shame it's a mobile title. Is it coming to PC too?

Can't comment on this too much, but I'm pretty sure that CA are pretty happy with the sales for this game.

That looks well sexy dude.

I recently got invited to the Marmoset Viewer beta, and we're allowed to post links publically now. Here's a gun model I made last year. Click the link to view it live!

I'm 25, you old bastards. I'll be the one changing your nappies at the Mapcore retirement home for retired and senile Environment Artists.

I've never played any Souls game but I finally bought this. I've played about 4 hours yesterday and made absolutely zero progress. I did die about 50 times though without unlocking anything. Just a constant grind against respawning enemies with no clue where to go, how to upgrade or beat things. Also, no saving. I'm getting the feeling that this first area is specifically designed to scare away new people. To test your endurance. This is the only effect it has on me:

Haha! Yeah I bought this game for my bro for his bday, and he hated it at first. He found it so frustrating! But something clicked and he's incredible at the game now. He's beaten the last boss before I have!

Keep at it dude. I found it frustrating at first as well, and I played Dark Souls 1/2 to death!

Ah fuck that... That really sucks to hear.

Fuck. Yeah.

I was really enjoying replaying Deus Ex, using stealth this time round, until I got to the first boss. I fucking hate the boss fights in this game. I've stopped playing it now

God damnit the Source engine is so archaic lol.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeah I'm on ep3. It's awesome, off to a really good start!

Started and finished a show called 'The Knick' following the staff of a New York hospital in the year 1900, just as surgery is starting to become a really viable method of treating patients, and the doctors are all learning incredible new things about the human body. Starring Clive Owen. I'd really recommend watching this, it's absolutely incredible. Really gritty and it's amazing to see how little we actually knew about the human body before the turn of the 20th century.

It's amazing, i love the new kind of renders you can get with PBR, Substance Designer and all these tools that i know nothing about. Plus, your work is really neat and pretty, i love the style !

Just to understand, can you tell me how many textures/masks are being used for this ? And why are they used for ?

Thanks dude!

Here's my Substance graph. It looks confusing as hell but when you start out with a Substance, it's simple, and it just slowly builds up into this ridiculous thing. You will understand it when you come to make your own Substances. Also,think of each Substance node here as a different layer in Photoshop.

I'm using one generic material that I set up that lets me add basic wear and tear, including a generic grunge and some scratches (you adjust one slider from 0 (off) to 1 (fully on) and the scratches/grunge will show up on the material procedurally). This basic material also has lots of options for different metalness values, roughness values, and diffuse colour, so I can make a variety of material types with one generic material. This works for flattish materials, but anything more than that and you'd wanna make a new material for it. For example, I needed a different material for the cloth, so I grabbed a texture off CGtextures and set it up through Substance Designer to create a normal map, AO, albedo etc.

That gives me the basic materials, which are blended together using a colour ID map which differentiates between materials. I then add in a bunch of edge wear and dirt masks to add in further detail. That's all there is to it really. Here's the coloured high poly:

Oh BTW the Substance viewport is rubbish, I'd recommend displaying in Marmoset or, ideally, UE4.

herro!

I confused.

I think your leaves just need to be a bit thicker dude!

@Leplu - that looks awesome man, nice work.

@Fuzy - shiiiit man I love that gun model. Really lovely lighting and render too.

So err, I made an old school 1970s hoover the past couple of nights... Textured entirely in Substance Designer. I love this software!

Well, I can't stand MGS but I loved Deus Ex: HR. I'd recommend giving it a go, you'll be able to get it dirt cheap now.
