Introduction to Substance Painter - Ultimate Beginners Guide

[@julieloichot7673]

It's nice to have 2 different voices, sounds more like a conversation than a tutorial :)

[@I_was_a_Bullfrog]

Exactly. But for real, I find it's easier to keep my attention when there's more than one voice talking

[@2011BNiall]

Couldn't agree more

[@ILoveCiniminis]

Also 2 heads better than 1 :)

[@julius7506]

It adds an extra voice dimension. ✌

[@justdigitalme3523]

In the video you mention not knowing the difference between Opacity and Flow! If you put Flow to 20% and keep your pen on the same spot eventually it will build up to 100% coverage on that spot over time, however, if you put Opacity to 20% and keep your pen held down it will never go above 20% - as long as you don't lift and re-place your pen to the tablet (or click) you can go over and over the same area and still only have 20% transparency! :) Just a bit of trivia/info ^^

[@whatsup1439]

Exactly!

[@asadsaifi9499]

If you know about substance.. then please make simple and powerfull tutorial

[@justdigitalme3523]

@@asadsaifi9499 it's terminology that is used across a lot of art software. I came here to learn just as I'm sure you did ^^ just sharing the general art knowledge I had!

[@andrewbyrnes6389]

Thanks for sharing. It’s always helpful to know more about how the software works!

[@helianthe3457]

So basically flow is a build up setting? Thank you for the info!

[@dnp8839]

2 People in a tutorial is so nice :D - Exactly

[@ichbinbilal]

As someone who's getting into CG you are my new favourite Channel now

[@FlippedNormals]

Appreciate it Bilal!

[@MUHIL]

EXACTLY

[@anonymitymatt1721]

I swear these guys who produce content for free are more informing and educational than my fucking college that get paid to teach us elements of the games industry. thank you guys for the effort you put into these videos

[@FlippedNormals]

Thank you for the support :)

[@deadcricket7823]

This is EXACTLY what i needed when learning substance!

[@Andrew-cd9sl]

EXACTLY. Was thinking of turning this into a drinking game

[@MJans]

Yeas EXACTLY

[@sealofapproval5598]

Yeah EXACTLY

[@bruce4551]

I like this channel quite a lot. The special thing about it is that having two experts in an industrial realm with constant interaction. One complements the others... always having a backup after an explanation.

[@FlippedNormals]

Appreciate it :)

[@Explore-Gobal]

That's also very rare, that two people commentating on a subject complement each other instead of a constant struggle. I don't feel mentally taxed after watching their videos. Thanks guys.

[@piotrek7633]

Exactly

[@jzkonain380]

Guy 2: Hi. Guy 1: Exactly. ....

[@Reeality09]

Thats exactly what i was thinking xD

[@BenniK88]

🤣 done, wish there would be a counter

[@REAL_AOP]

i ship them

[@Captt95]

I was reading the comments first and i didnt understand your comment. after watching 5 minutes, i bursted out laughing.

[@keithyakouboff8755]

I think these guys have some of the best tutes on the web (yeah exactly), but his obsession with that phrase is like Chinese water torture. The only way to get through it is to try to anticipate his next "yeah exactly". A tad fun. Nevertheless, I watched this to learn, and learn I did. Too bad they don't answer follow-up questions.

[@neels]

Watched many substance tutorials, but this one made me learn many new things in less time, thanks a lot for the video.

[@FlippedNormals]

Thats awesome - glad you learnt something :)

[@ctfan]

any flippednormals video is not just a self help video,it is an experience

[@espressojoe]

Can we get some flipped normals merch that says "yeah, exactly"? I'd buy it

[@FotomakerAcademy]

Seriously, I'd buy it too! If it had a discretely-sized (not huge) "Flipped Normals" text on one line and "Exactly" on the next. Up over the heart area on a classic black t-shirt (size medium, pls)

[@EagerSleeper]

Only if the outside of the shirt is pitch black and the inside of it has the color and design

[@riverandthefox2344]

Haha same. 100% would buy. At some point that one person in public is gonna understand the t shirt. Boom, friends for life 😄

[@fvgprodi8848]

Same, I'd pay for some merch with that phrase

[@MahmudShuaib]

the dynamic substance duo! where everything is awesome in substance! nice 1 guys

[@timursibatov730]

Guys, you are fantastic tutors! I love especially how you are doing it together. Mostly it is just one tutor in all other tutorials in the internet, and some of the points might be missed, skipped or simply forgotten and here we can see the power of the 2nd tutor! Also, it makes me feel like a real dialogue! You are my favorite CG tutors :D

[@DodaGarcia]

I mean, by that logic you might as well have 36 tutors since no person or tutorial is ever going to teach every single thing about something. I was honestly very distracted by the constant back and forth between voices and their reacting to each other’s jokes and gave up on the video, but maybe it’s a matter of personal taste since the dialogue nature of it was a plus for you.

[@Reeality09]

Exactly counter: 1337

[@LiamHeron]

It actually got pretty annoying after a while.

[@zehsofficial]

1337 = Leet

[@sir_dance_a_lot862]

At first, I didn't notice but now I cannot overhear

[@CarlosCDiazArt]

Exactly!

[@FoxOsi]

this video was ammmmmmmmazing. wow wow wow, thank you guys sooo much. i also loved that it was two of you talking. you riffed well off eachother and chimed in with good tidbits. loved it. thanks guys

[@roastman9753]

Looks at video comments Everybody in the comments: Exactly.

[@masummitra7683]

I really enjoy this bcs sometimes I really laugh 😃 bcs the way u teach and talking to each other . I like the way u teach sir . Thank you

[@VitStukalov]

You guys are awesome. From not knowing a single thing to a full understanding of basics. Also i like the idea of duo casting, you never miss a thing in a tutorial if someone is there to back you up

[@lukeh9300]

"How to use substance painter" "Exactly"

[@skyheart125]

my first hour learning this.. your tutorial is really ultimate! Thanks.

[@SewerShark]

The glare slider was implemented by J. J. Abrahams

[@FlippedNormals]

You bet!

[@giancarlopenton6779]

Wow I saw notification and I couldn’t be more excited!! You guys are awesome

[@straticah2865]

exactly

[@jayantamondal34]

Your channel helped me a lot. Your videos are full of information. There is a lot of stuff in every single minute. I've viewed most of your videos. Thanks.

[@C-M-E]

Substance is one of the few very trick pieces of software I was able to get in on on the ground floor. Starting my 3D journey as a texture artist many moons ago, moving from traditional painters and suddenly seeing Substance at a trade show, I was utterly floored. I remember having so much fun on the demo with the particle generator that they had to kick me off. It's been interesting watching it grow and explode, becoming industry-leading. While I'm sure the dev's loved getting gobbled up by Adobe, I hate renting software and never upgraded my original perpetual license, though I'd really like to see all the new features for myself one of these days.

[@erionmema1]

Im glad I watched this all the way through... I have been using painter for a year and I didnt know some of the stuff presented in this video. this is truly powerful

[@FlippedNormals]

Thats fantastic, thanks for watching!

[@remimouillet2746]

Guy 1 : How were your vacations? Guy 2 : Exactly.

[@tr3buh]

This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for

[@gunbladea]

I just wanted to say. THANK YOU!!!! I learned more with this video than in my real school (after 2 clases)... thanks!!!

[@austincox2387]

Absolutely great tutorial for beginners. Thanks for making this. It's great for people with 2D (e.g. Photoshop) or 3D (e.g. Unreal Engine, Daz, Maya) experience. The pacing is steady. The viewer doesn't get overwhelmed. Awesome stuff, and thanks again.

[@jake9225]

Man, I love you guys. Listening to you is so comfortable. Great explanation as well - I understood everything :3

[@k.r6715]

best 3d yt channel i found... i feel so lucky.... learned painter md8 and got some really good zbrush tips.. currently working on anatomy. thank you guys really fucking awesome channel

[@FlippedNormals]

Thank you!

[@slinkiestyew]

Your tutorials are WONDERFUL. Love the 2-person dynamic too. Thank you.

[@Not_Pulsus]

This is crazy good! These guys are such good teachers! Really would love to see a video on generators!

[@oso_Peligroso]

As a Substance newbie THIS is the tutorial I have been hunting for! Thank you! # subscribed

[@rtdlaboratories]

Moving from 3DCoat to Substance, and as usual when switching programs the hardest part is finding where all the tools are.. this was definitely helpful! Been watching you guys for long time tho, so I wasn't expecting otherwise))

[@furkanzengin8298]

I have just started learning substance painter and seing a tutorial from you guys just made my day. Thank you for making it. Definetly gonna check out the other ones too.

[@FlippedNormals]

Awesome, thanks you!

Our pleasure!

[@satyajitrathvetnhinjak9768]

Thanks a lot u guys.. u helped me a looott.. now I'm all set to work.. u guys are awesome.. thanks for sharing this for free

[@taon]

Best tutorial I’ve seen this month, thank you very much

[@foolsanticsstudio]

I used to be the same way about modeling. If people didn’t model the thing from scratch then they aren’t real modelers. But over time I realized it’s better to work smarter than harder. If you want to download a base mesh rather than make one then go for it. As long as the end product is quality and you aren’t just blatantly stealing, I don’t see a problem. It doesn’t matter how you got the end product, it just matters how good it is.

[@KennethShinabery]

Thanks.... this is the best intro tutorial I have seen in a long time.

[@Imissmaggie]

This is incredibly powerful. And this is incredibly powerful. And this? This is also incredibly powerful.

[@blidrob]

Guy 2: So, this is where I want to show the FlippedNormals HDRIs...but that's totally up to you... Guy 1: Exactly.

[@fernandoz6329]

Excelent intro to SP, right to the point.

[@showmedesign]

Great tutorial Guys, really hands-on approach! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@FlippedNormals]

Thanks a bunch Stefan! We have a lot more Painter content on our channel too :)

[@archanaiyer4192]

I have been using Substance Painter for quite sometime at work but I am glad I saw this video and still learned new tips. Thanks guys. Recently discovered your channel and just loving learning everyday ! And yes it will be great to have a video on Generators

[@kirilzangagolev3401]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to bake clean maps from the high poly because basically the quality of the bake is what determines how good your textures will be?

[@AdamMann3D]

Are you baking with Painter? I would recommend Tim Bergholz Chamferzone series if you are.

[@kirilzangagolev3401]

@@AdamMann3D I have watched most of them. I want Henning and Morten to teach me!

[@yungtube7848]

@Hagop D thank you for the tip

[@rubabsadi2802]

Such a wonderful explanation in a very good way, that everyone can easily understand. Thank you

[@PrimordialStrange]

Loved this one. I Literally took notes of all the things you explained here and it was so brief and simple to understand. Great job guys! Request: Any tutorials for Substance Designer??

[@alnuraman1]

Finally, found the simple and good way of basic explanation of SP. Thanks FlippedNormals team :) Hope to visit more to your channel to find other great staff that i will look for in the future.

[@lorenzorazzera9506]

Omg, I'm in love with this software

[@valleybrook]

This video is EXACTLY what I wanted, excellent video :-)

[@evindrews]

I love how it's two people back and forth. Great idea

[@wangaphosiwamaswime5142]

Hey, good video. For future videos i would recommend a editing soft

[@rosengrozev3326]

This one is for the vault!!! I always keep referring back to it :)

[@chrisddawson]

This is a very helpful tutorial. I will be referring back to it alot. Thank You!

[@windowsxpeu]

this is so useful! it really made me understand Painter much better. I hope you guys will make more videos about PBR

[@SeedVisuals]

This is way better than the guys at FXPHD.... I just subscribed, great stuff

[@productocamarena]

Many thanks guys! Good video to start getting into Painter :) It´s crazy how I found this to be almost like a fun mix of Photoshop and Keyshot! Impressive tool, loved the generators.

[@lau3854]

have always ignored this vid bc its too long and I didnt have that much time but this should be one of the best free tutorial on youtube. do you guys have tutorials on how to make a video presentation of these objects? I am thinking of how 3dEx (YT) present his. and also what does interation mean? is higher better? thanksss

[@kimellis3468]

Great teamwork! Great work. Thank you! : )

[@sofiiaozorovych602]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!

[@SuperAza619]

I was one of those people who used to drag materials and call it a day but after seeing your video about masking I've been taking more time in texturing. I'm really looking forward to the generators video as it seems the possibilities of it are endless and would love to learn more about it

[@prasinkar707]

Thank you Sir for making such an excellent informative video in a relatively short time in my opinion.

[@steretsjaaj2368]

Thank you guys, really easy to follow demonstration you've made.

[@cloudgold1]

best tutorial on substance painter so far. Thank you so much guys!

[@FlippedNormals]

Thank you very much!

[@makodad]

Exactly.

[@MathiasJ89]

Great stuff. Picked up the Premium video. You guys help make 3D approachable and fun :)

[@MaxOstap]

i was lost and now i am found, thanks for the awesome introduction dudes 1 and 2

[@rich-rothschild1400]

thanks lads been looking for this for all softeware programmes anyway....thanks a gain.

[@wervil]

You guys are soooooooooooo helpful. Its really a boon. Thank you.

[@hamuArt]

Just a side note in Game engines perspective: Texel calculation much more complex than vertex calculation. - Best performance if an actor/prefab/mesh use only one shader. Because if we use more shader per model that mean the GPU draw call (texel calculation) significant increases. If you don't care any effective optimization than just use brute and fast asset creation.

[@FlippedNormals]

Great! Thanks for the information.

[@Yushataram]

is not the video we deserve but the video we need

[@smdesigns6805]

Pretty good beginners guide! Thank you for that! :)

perfect tutorial. quick and on the point.

[@cihankenar1]

I really like the ALT + Mouse button to navigate the viewport, its very intuitive. I think all 3D programs can benefit from that. Maybe even Blender?

[@GokdenizCetin]

Thanks for the tutorial, I really liked!

[@spliffiam]

Did you guys make a video on exporting the textures and baking? Cant seem to find one from you.

This Tutorial was really helpfull for me ^_^ - Exactly!

[@naomisonobe8005]

Amazing video guys! Very informative! I noticed that you stick mostly to metal in your substance videos, but could you do a tutorial video on texturing wood? There are a bunch of different videos on this site but I'm curious as to what you guys think! :)

[@mercurio3d866]

when I import an object and change the preview in the materials section to ambient occlusion my object turns completely white and does not detect the edges to do the part 37:01 I don't know if it is a parameter that I have to activate when exporting my object to fbx format or is it something that I can fix inside substance?

[@psy237]

ye there's a rage quit button :'D this should be standard for all games in-game muahaha... nice intro!! liked this one much better as starting point than the one in substance academy! This is more hands on from the start instead of explaining settings etc without having a result to see in action. Now I think I know what went wrong in my first steps :)

[@abdulwahidqureshi8850]

i love my subscriber, and thanks to all this.

[@PotatoHate]

Very nice video thank you. I wanted to get in to SP for a long time. So far I was only using 3D Coat to do painting and material work and SP for baking maps. But can't wait to Use SP for painting and baking all in one :)

[@zacharygreen1588]

Earned a sub! excellent presentation :)

[@AngelboyVR]

VERY easy, i expected to get overwhelmed by this software, but if anything its seems easier than blender :D which is another program i know by heart

[@marina_nb]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, guys, for making SP so understandable for a novice like me
