02-10: Creating twig shapes as a subgraph utility | Adobe Substance 3D

[@Fetteremo]

The last part was probably the most important message you could have given me :D

[@sasho3d]

agreed, words of wisdom

[@justinleonardo8657]

when he got to that section I was like: "and we're talking about material creation right?" XD

[@svdwellen]

Was just about the write the same comment :D Just a minute before that I was like, is this too complex for the first tutorial? Probably! Saved by the last minute :D

[@brendancoots]

Wes is one of the best instructors/trainers out there, going all the way back to his Modo book from 2009. Allegorithmic was so smart to hire him.

[@Substance3D]

Thank you much : ) Glad you like the tutorials.

[@TheFireNoodle]

I couldn't ask for a better tutorial of substance designer. 14 videos in and I feel like i've already learnt so much. I didn't realise how easy it was to create a material with a few simple nodes, reused over and over. I can see now, it's just a lot of work, some of it is tedious, some of it is experimenting. Its nothing hard to create the material you want, it's only how you're going to plan it with the nodes that are available.

[@ab-uo6rd]

I am just in love with that guy. That might be the best tutorial series I have ever seen in my entire life. This is so helpful to me :)

[@yuraponomarenko2961]

warping the grunge map to fit the form of stick... whaaat? incredible, isn't it? I love this application

[@jullypeterson4808]

I've been binge-watching these series for the past 2 hours. Thanks for such interesting and well explained tutorials!

[@Substance3D]

Thanks! So glad you liked the videos

[@LJ_Dev]

@@Substance3D Same here.

[@ShinGidora]

can't believe how much power is in the materials.. designer and painter is giving me my passion back. Was stuck with grey 3D models, even with great topology, it was just a mesh. As soon as I brush up on modeling again, using it with substance will make a killer presentation! thanks for the series! hope to finish this material today

[@Substance3D]

Thanks! So glad the series was helpful : )

[@PrimordialStrange]

This is downright EXCELLENT TEACHING! Premium quality content and explanation as well.

[@Substance3D]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shikhermyv]

Thank you for these tutorials. Substance is great.

[@mesio6674]

Thank You Wes for Your work here :3

[@brunonier-marechal8189]

14:30 --> the wood pattern follow the twig shape ! Sooo usefull ;)

[@Substance3D]

Awesome!

[@AyushBakshi]

Same

[@simo299]

Thanks for providing these Wes ! really helpful on my first look at Substance Designer - I remember your tuts from way back when I fist picked up Modo ✊

[@yuraponomarenko2961]

Can't stop watching O_O I want eat, but I can't get off the monitor. Amazing. This is just genius

[@Substance3D]

Thanks! Glad you liked the tutorials : )

[@DanijelTeofilovic]

I just feel the same! I never eat in front of the computer, today, I made exception :D

[@anton__r]

Man I love this program and this tutorial series along with another channels videos here on KZbin (Guys names Chunck I believe, its the channel name as well) just do a REALLY REALLY good job giving this big chunk of info in this well thought out structure, like in real life sculpting u start with the big shapes, like the instructor does here as well and so on. It's great, much love

[@Substance3D]

Thanks Shifty! Designer really is the coolest application ever, i agree! Check out our "Substance Designer Insanity Awards" if you want some more crazy inspiration!

[@gustavodutra8578]

Its funny to see that the more you advance in the videos the less views it gets. Dont give up people.

[@poada_]

perfect instructor, bravo!

[@Lesak2]

Quick question, instead of doing this node graph, can you import a grayscale map made in lets say, photoshop? like, the exact same twig but made in PS? great tuts! :)

[@Substance3D]

Yes! Totally fine to do this. You can use external resources instead of making the shapes procedural. Just right-click on the package and choose import or link resource. Import will embed the image into the project. When you publish the sbsar file, it will embed the resource if it is used directly in the graph.

[@JadenGoter]

dang you turned into bob ross there at the end

[@Substance3D]

Haha, I could only wish : )

[@mattiaslambert5965]

I'm currently working through this tutorial on the newest version of substance designer, and the "capsule" pattern doesn't appear as one of the base patterns for the Shape node. Has this been taken out?

[@ChickenFingers42]

I also couldn't find it.... For anyone wondering: You need to scroll down the list, with your mouse wheel, after clicking on it.

[@protossscud8435]

Please make a mossy rock tutorial series like this , thanks !

[@Substance3D]

Thanks for the feedback! We can add it to the list

[@dhirajrathod505]

A huge life lession at the end tbh

[@ramevre]

when i use 2048 resolution the software is using about 21% of ram(just for the rocky land with out twigs)..so i instead used 1024 which is having less impact on my memory but i lose a lot of details. Is there a way where i can optimize the usage like at the end of the rendering?(BTW i like these tutorials very well..)

[@Substance3D]

Thanks! Glad to hear you like the tutorials. You will use lots of detail at 1024. I didn't optimize the node graph too well for this series. I think you can get some better performance by optimizing the size of some of the nodes instead of dropping the entire graph to 1024. Please check this guide. support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/display/SDDOC/Performance+Optimization+Guidelines

[@AruanD]

Hey man! great tutorial. I`m having a bit of an issue here. I have closed the project after saving it at this part and when i opened it again i can`t view what i`m working on in the 3d view anymore. It just gives me the high rez plain grey thing with nothing on it. I`ve tried to right click the last Splatter node we used in the last pebles (small) and large video and telling it to show me the stuff in the 3d view, but it doesn`t work.

[@jszwj]

ik its been 6 months but in case you still need to know or anyone else has this problem, just click on the node, in this case the base material, and right click and hit 'show in 3d'. You probably already figured this out tho since its been so long.

[@閔閔-j2b]

this is somewhat a MAGIC!!!!

[@wraithe5367]

Damn great tutorial!

[@74aztlan]

Excellent.

[@syntaxed2]

I¨ll put something in your input alright... *oops* that was wrong video

[@xylvnking]

thank youu

[@luxz181]

i love how after 2 years, this got 0 dislikes xD

[@Rinka17]

where is the twig ? i not found anywhere

[@Substance3D]

You can download the sbs file from Substance Academy. academy.substance3d.com/courses/Creating-your-first-Substance-material/youtube-y8q6-tgQjZc The twig graph is a subgraph in that sbs package.

[@twilight_mourner1865]

_all that for a single twig_

[@kittyrules]

f for my sub box

[@Substance3D]

Sorry for all the uploads

[@Preytorcam]

@@Substance3D something I never thought I'd hear from a KZbinr lol. Also; These videos are great.
