[@twitchy_pixel]

As someone who's just picked up Substance, I'm torn between "wow this is fascinating" and "fecking hell I should give up now"

[@jondo22]

[@JBenainous]

Thank you so much buddy! Glad you liked the talk :)

[@bigmistqke]

Insane work waw

[@JBenainous]

Thank you Vincent!

[@danecustance2734]

Thanks great presentation. I'm curious how these materials would be used in game engines, I'm admitedly a noob and from what i remember reading in the past displacement isn't used that much in engines, that might have changed, are these types of materials practical for real time usage in today's production environments?

[@JBenainous]

Hi Dane, glad you liked the talk! To answer your question, yes the most of the time we don't have real time displacement in game but we use the height information to blend materials together with cohesive depth based on world units. The height information can also be used to generate real time parallax effects, etc...

[@thomaseichler2368]

How does he achieve the falloff effect on this cherub face after blending all discs of the face together at 19:27? Beside that this talk is fantastic. Edit: he said it some seconds later > Non Uniform Blur Grayscale (19:47)

[@JBenainous]

Thanks a lot Thomas!

[@EgenMugen]

I'm torn between "wow" and "why". Kudos to the last question. It should've been included into the presentation itself. Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea. Creating the face and the jug inside Designer is generally a bad idea. You get a lot of hassle for close to zero benefits. It's hard and unintuitive to make, hard to tweak afterwards, makes your graph bigger and all-in-all takes a lot of time. As a challenge to get to know your tools better - great; as a part of a real workflow - damaging. Also, the tile-ability of the materials shown is rather questionable, as they both contain very noticable details. Hence, pointing out the usages of such textures would also make a nice addition to the presentation. And last, but not least - showing off non-destructive workflow perks and changing the material on the fly, could also add some flavor to the visuals. Minus that, it's a great overlook on the results you can get from Designer.

[@Nohiro.3D]

I agree for the face.... But can be cool for things like leaves etc you generate a bunch and you splater them. , repetetive patterns are cool done like that... But it's 50/50 tbh.

[@harrysanders818]

Interesting points, they are also constantly roaming my thoughts when learning substance designer for actual game production. @Nohiro, I guess yeah, 50/50, well put

[@Youkai_graphics]

that face is too creepy.....
