also, you can drag and drop the textures while holding ctrl and you'll immediately see the vertex colors. whichever color you'll drop the texture on, only that area will apply the texture.

[@PonteRyuurui]

you mean from the colour palette?

[@Al-tk5zp]

@@PonteRyuurui In SP, when dragging a texture hold ctrl and you'll see the vertex colors on your model. just try it out

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@Al-tk5zp oh i see what you mean, ya cheers mate

[@benfluencer6441]

dude you rock for this comment!

[@NN-wc7dl]

I have tried A LOT of tutorials for ID maps. Never got it to work. Till now. This works and I am very pleased. The texture corrections in Substance P can make you dizzy, though, but that is not your fault...:-) Great! Thanks mucho!

[@PonteRyuurui]

nw mate

[@humansrants1694]

2:00 looks like that vertex mode has now been renamed to attribute in Blender 3. This lesson was far easier to follow thanks.

[@husseinabdulla]

yah , i dont like vertex color and i try bake map and i fackup and i try this and i see sow easy and fast

[@-PhilGibson]

**renamed to attribute in Blender 3** ty sir

[@yusrighouse]

Dude! I recently also tried to texture a high poly because I couldn't be arsed to make low poly and struggled for hours trying to bake an ID map. This is such a convenient way. Will definitely be taking advantage of that next time. Thanks so much!

[@PonteRyuurui]

any time mate!

[@victorstriga]

Whoa, I remember rewatching Blender baking tutorials for 3-4 times in a row and still struggling... super cool tutorial, cheers!

[@GeneralAlex]

Ponte, you are a Legend! Thank you! I've been looking on google and youtube for this specifically and literally not a single one was useful. Your video is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers mate :)

[@PonteRyuurui]

Awesome, glad to hear it!

[@deygus]

Thank you so much brother! You're a lifesaver! Super simple, straightforward and right to the point without all the bs inbetween, had lots of headaches trying to use addons and figure this out in the past but you really made this a snap! :)

[@thapelomahlo3081]

1 minute 42 I already got what i needed (shift K) thanx a lot Ponte

[@PonteRyuurui]

Great to hear!

[@shaunbrown3806]

I love it very straight to the point explanations detailing the things in between that people/noob's like myself may not know, just subbed.

[@TheBroughamGamer]

Love that you got right into it and don't mess around. Went through to many help videos that drag it out or don't really show what I'm needing. Thanks a million!

[@cherrygirl8204]

Appreciate so much for this tutorial, I’m struggling for recolor and doesn’t have ID maps, I will practice, thanks!!

Thanks Viking man! Been looking for something like this for a while. You legend!

[@benfluencer6441]

you have just saved me so much hassle, thank you!

[@inoyashakitbu1178]

you also don't need to go to edit mode and mark all. Just select the object, go to vertex paint and set the color

[@jr-bh5rm]

If you have the problem that SP only bakes the ID's for one Texture set: click the button in the ID-baker called "Apply to all". Its just something i had to figure out now.

[@TylerMonteleone]

"Baking anything in Blender is fucking awful" .... My man speaks truth. 'Simple Bake' is a LIFESAVER is you MUST bake though. Almost as good of a feature as 3 clean in 'machine tools' (which blew my fucking mind when I discovered it. Worth the price on its own).

[@PonteRyuurui]

well the 3 cleanup is in the free version, the paid one has one tool extra, but ya it is hands down one of the most important addons for Blender

[@statebeyond373]

This worked for me using just normally assigned materials too. So if this vertex group technique don’t work, try that instead

[@CPalanysamy]

nice trick man really helpful!

[@JackAssetsBakin]

Amazing thanks.

[@uglynerfherder]

You're amazing. Thank you!

[@hotsauce7124]

Thank you

[@george5408]

Thanks man, this helped a lot, like given👍🏻

[@havocthehobbit]

You're 100% right ,"baking anything in blender is f@#!*#& aweful" . Thanks for the tutorial

[@PonteRyuurui]

You bet!

[@alisaul8823]

Is there an advantage of Vertex Painting over using the colours from materials applied? Blender materials don't need to be baked to carry over to Substance, and require a good few less clicks than vertex painting, but will using vertex painting produce a better result?

[@PonteRyuurui]

same thing, basically

[@ahmetbaykara.mp3]

What is shift + k do? Another way to ask; what is the operation of that shortcut? Assigning the color?

[@HDreamzCG]

Thanks this is so usefull!

[@gaymanukyan5476]

amazing tutorial, I wanted to ask if we vertex painting in Substance Painter, can we go back again to blender? will the textures remain in the same places were we add them? Thank you

[@balaraman.r1797]

thanks

[@dustinnead9977]

Great Vid!

[@PonteRyuurui]

thanks

[@Al-tk5zp]

it's not a bug, when you go into edit mode you see the model how it looks without the modifiers. I assume you had weighted normals there?

[@PonteRyuurui]

HN, and same issue if i disable both, so i dont think it is that

[@RussellTaylorProductions]

Chag sameach! Donkey schmuk thats awesome

[@ds1859]

A couple quick questions if you see this: 1. would this method also work with quixel mixer? 2. this method is basically convenient because your not making a game asset which would need to be low poly?

[@PonteRyuurui]

1. Sure, it's an ID map, doesnt matter how it is created. 2. Nothing t do with that.

[@ds1859]

@@PonteRyuurui gotcha thanks! Keep up the great work you guys. Also, would be really cool to see a character game asset course from you guys if you ever had the time. Some sort of sci fi cyberpunk character

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@ds1859 cheers! Doubt it mate, we dont do characters

[@JackAssetsBakin]

Why disable Normals and Thickness in baking? I'm a beginner in Pt. Thanks!

[@AlexisRivera3D]

For some reason substance only recognizes two colors, I don't know what to do

[@PonteRyuurui]

could be Id map issue, hop on our discord and ask, link in the vid descr.

[@AlexisRivera3D]

@@PonteRyuurui Thanks, I am trying to bake diffuse color materials and create a ID Map inside Blender to export then in Substance Painter

[@qawiyrasyidrafi3103]

i allready know this but i found the problem that's the ID uv baking didn't have same color with our vertext paint, i paint a box white and another box green and both got green

[@slothdude8109]

had to hear that in the beginning..

[@ishkyousuke7477]

Thanks g!

[@aftabhammy4432]

What if we want to bake the high to low what is the process

[@rn-225]

Same process, but in ID tab, change to vertex color and select your high poly model, then you can bake it

[@Rune3D]

"Nobody gives a donkey shmuck." And with that, I now have a new euphemism! :D Also yeah, NM baking in any program is my least favorite process. I love modeling hi & low poly, and texturing, but preparing to bake normals is like preparing to get my balls smashed by a warhammer.. >_>

[@PonteRyuurui]

just go marmoset man, best baker out there

[@Rune3D]

@@PonteRyuurui I'll give it a try! Thank you for the support!

[@timsonss]

saved my old age, because if i were to bake all the maps in blender i would have lierally wasted 30 years

[@PonteRyuurui]

yup

[@rockstar745896]

Would this method be more useful for hero assets or background assets?

[@PonteRyuurui]

which method, the vert colours? does not matter what asset it is, ID is an ID.

the voice kinda made me feel emasculated. lol. but the tutorial was great. thanks ;)
