Substance Designer is the VFX industry standard for procedural texture creation. The node-based workflow of Substance Designer allows for completely procedural, non-destructive texture generation that gives users unparalleled control and infinite opportunities for quick iteration. With a little practice, virtually any material can be recreated with physically based accuracy.
In this course, you will learn step by step how to create a high-quality tiling dirt and grass material. I will cover many of Substance Designer’s most powerful nodes, and will share my workflow for creating common material elements including dirt, stone, and foliage. I will detail techniques for highly controllable shape creation, blending and layering, as well as simple atlas creation usable in any type of 3D foliage production. I will also cover methods for creating surface details using random noise generation, as well as methods for manipulating noise to create widely applicable textural effects.
