Exporting UDIM Textures from Substance to Maya (Arnold)

Learn how to export Textures from Substance Painter to Maya. In this course you will see how to export UDIMs (multiple maps onto a single mesh) and apply those in Maya so they can be rendered with Arnold.

udim been there in substance to maya workflow for a while now but there was no great & easy explanation than this to how to easily execute it, thank!

[@MrShroombot]

Best video ever. I had several layers, all with several udim texture sets. This helped me figure out how to do all of it! Thank you! If anyone needs help on this when you have more layers, let me know.

[@sinderymonk6718]

You've saved my bacon, thanks homie

[@asvanum]

Dude, I don't know how to thank you. Every other tutorial I found was of Maya to substance and no one showing how to bring it back to maya. Thank you so much.

[@davidbittorf]

Thanks Aadarsh! I'm glad I was able to help you out. Make sure you are subscribed to my channel so you continue to get updates as I'm trying to post weekly. Are there any other topic that you would like to see a video about?

[@asvanum]

@@davidbittorf I've subscribed. And for topics I can suggest one thing "how to paint skins texture in Zbrush, it is something I still can't do properly and all I do is paint front image using spotlight projection. You can even just show the on the dinosaur which you are using as your DP. It will help A LOT!!!!

Thank you :) For anyone using the substance converter plugin, import maps them like normal, go into the shader and change each map from UV to UDIM and generate preview from there. Worked for me.

Hey man this was very veey useful, thank you! I had one doubt retarding the AO.. not being able to find the slot in the attribute editor

Can be tough to have a clean AO from a displacement.

[@Ebagramirez]

Thank you for the videos they're great, curious, why do we set alpha as luminance under color base?

[@davidbittorf]

Great question. Actually you might not have to under color. I know for the others it’s necessary for the others such as roughness or it just doesn’t look right. Seems like it may not make a difference for color base.

[@ollicron7397]

Tip for anyone doing this is you want to hide the sky sphere you can set the scale on it to 0,0,0 and keep the light lit.

[@davidbittorf]

Thanks for the awesome tip! I love that!

[@iCamSkiEz]

All these videos you've uploaded are complete gold for someone like me thanks a lot!

[@davidbittorf]

That kind you for the kind words. You will notice if you put your cursor over the time bar on this video it has time tags which help you find exactly what you need within the video. You can also see a list of them in the description. Let me know if you think these will be helpful and if I should add them to all my videos.

[@iCamSkiEz]

@@davidbittorf they're definitely helpful and I did find myself using the chapters. Would be great to incorporate in future videos or if you want to add to the previous ones I'm sure it would be helpful to people!

[@davidbittorf]

Thanks for the feedback! I think I’ll do both. I’ll add them to both my future videos and current videos. I think for something like this that is so technical and involved that can be really helpful

[@footballhub596]

I understood it very well but i have one question in case i am doing a work ok on metalic object or anything shinny but i have udim's like these when i export it from substance and i need to make some changes on the roughness will this effect the whole model?? If yes then how to control it. Please clear my confusion

[@davidbittorf]

You won’t be able to change roughness after you export it. You would need to go back into substance, adjust your roughness overall or locally then export again.

[@tonysanchez6616]

Can you import ambient occlusion in some way?

[@davidbittorf]

You could bring AO and multiply it over your color map in Photoshop prior to bringing it into Maya. It’s a little annoying but gets the job done.

[@quangat3756]

Clean and great ones, but what abt the emessive and height chanel, where can i link them to??? Tks
