Getting Started Using Substance Painter & Cinema 4D

[@learn2share461]

I taught that one of the the main idea of using substance was to finish with only 1 or 2 materials at the end and save memorys? That being said, always very good tutorial EJ, thanks again!

[@eyedesyn]

I'm a terrible modeler so I have things always as separate objects - but you can totally use 1 or two materials and then use the technique where you select individual objects inside of each texture set - which I didn't realize that was an option until the other day! Continually learning here but you are totally right! Thanks for watching! :)

[@tsorrell1]

THANK YOU! I've looked at various tutorials over the past couple of years and NO ONE has explained it as simply and clearly as you have, not even the Substance Painter official tutorials.

[@ichispaceRomantic]

thanks for the tutorial! Usually I have a hard time listening and concentrating on the speaker during video tutorials, but it's so easy to listen to your explanations. You are very good at lecturing! Thanks EJ! :) Makes learning 3D programs SO much easier

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks so much for the kind words - really means a lot that you enjoy my tutorials and the concepts are translating for you! :)

[@ichispaceRomantic]

@@eyedesyn thank you for your work! 😌🙌

[@DavidLevinson]

Thanks!

[@eyedesyn]

Wow thank you so much for the support - that means a ton!!!!

From Instagram to KZbin ... nice piece

[@borisstengele5389]

THX!

[@eyedesyn]

very welcome!

[@cellacyben101]

I have been learning substance on and off for the past few months and it's so awesome. Thanks for making the tutorial.

[@eyedesyn]

I wish I learned it sooner! The biggest problem for me for sure was UV unwrapping and making sure all the UVs looked good but other than that, learning Substance has been a breeze!

[@has.studio]

Thank you, E.J.!

[@DavidLevinson]

Thank you. You've saved me a lot of time many times over the last few years. Going to donate now.

[@eyedesyn]

That's so amazing to hear, thank you so much for supporting me and watching my videos! It's really awesome to hear that you found them useful!

[@RMAFIRE]

You bring a fresh perspective to the table.🧨🔝

[@eyedesyn]

Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!!!!

[@lolthisnerdsaidmemes]

It's actually crazy how I install a software and you upload a tutorial...(It was Unreal Engine before)

[@QNag]

Thank you for this quality tutorial. I am a noob and you made this easy to follow. Awesome. Plus, BONUS: The world's only C4D tutorial which isn't using the old version (which looks like some color-coded kiddie version - lol). Thanks again!

[@eyedesyn]

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed this!

[@rafeeg7]

I was afraid using substance painter , but now i love it , thanks ❤️❤️❤️👌👌

[@eyedesyn]

Same! Glad you're using it now - its a very powerful tool and easier to learn than you think!

[@BU-sj2gn]

Still avoiding it

[@davidkerman1732]

Awesome tutorial. What’s the process of getting the materials from substance back into c4d if substance is making the uvs? I tried it but the only way I could do it was by exporting the mesh from substance. Is there any other way? Thanks!!!

[@eyedesyn]

Unfortunately thats the only way you can do it once you edit the UVs and make them different from the starting UVs in your original file. The way to get around this is using some kinda of AutoUV like RizomUV or using the built in UV tools in your 3D DCC of choice so UVs are good before you get into Substance

[@davidkerman1732]

@@eyedesyn what a bummer. Back to figuring out UVs i guess!

[@angelikihristoff6489]

nice one explaining !!!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!

[@Nibbylol]

Love this, how would we export if its for Octane? hmm

[@eyedesyn]

Same way! Instead of using the Redshift preset you can use one of the Metalness ones. You can even use the Redshift preset because it’ll save out textures that you can use in Octane as well (Diffuse Color, Roughness, Normal, etc)

[@cjadams7434]

Also grab a 3d connexion spacemouse for navigation in c4d and in substance painter and zbrush all now support those devices...i will never go back to alt navigation ever

[@eyedesyn]

nice tip!!

[@cjadams7434]

@@eyedesyn I would NEVER go back to mouse ALT navigation!… If you also use the Substance live link by Xoloti studios and have your Redshift or octane IPR open in your DCC of choice you can preview everything as you paint with the rest of your scene in context with your lighting rig etc.

[@nop12222]

amazing video!

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks for watching!

[@nightinthevuz]

This is amazing, I've been using c4d and Adobe Dimension and I've been meaning to try out painter. I just have one question since I'm almost a complete noob at Cinema 4D, will this work if I can't use Redshift? Because when I try to use it it sort of crashes, I'm guessing it's because I have an AMD graphics card and I couldn't find that much info but I think AMD in general is not supported :( I hope I'm wrong tho, and appreciate anyone that can help!

[@eyedesyn]

If Substance or C4D is crashing on you - it has nothing to do with if you have Redshift or not so it's definitely some other issue. I'm pretty sure AMD is supported, might be a driver issue. Are you using an older computer?

[@nightinthevuz]

@@eyedesyn It's fairly new, maybe 3 years old, I have an RX 560 graphics card, but yeah I couldn't find that it's supported . Maybe it's because it's an older generation, although not that much older, it still renders and everything just the regular render engine. Thanks for the reply tho!

[@aufgespielt3768]

Hey. In my case, when i import my fbx from c4d, i only have one Object into my Texture Set List... whats the mistake?

[@eyedesyn]

It may be because you have one texture set applied to all the objects in your scene!

[@pitheque]

Amazing tutorial, as usual ! I wonder if it actually pays tribute to your real dog... 😉

[@eyedesyn]

jahahaha thanks for watching!

[@kurtcobain7388]

can i use c4d without substance 3d

[@eyedesyn]

Absolutely

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@nightmarevstplugin3944]

Nice

[@eyedesyn]

thanks!

[@AndrewHoeveler]

How quickly UI changes to make these tutorials harder to follow! Now we need to look for a *croissant* rather than just a menu option in order to BAKE our textures, get it? Ugh.
