How to paint ambient occlusion in Substance Painter

In this video I explain how to paint the ambien occlusion channel inside substance painter. This is useful to fix baking errors without having to use any external software.

Buen hack para arreglos basicos 👍

[@robertross8922]

Excellent video Julio. Thanks very much. Is there a methodology when the model has multiple UV tiles. I understand that the AOC adjustment process is the same just multiple tiles. Also the export is the same but I am unable to import multiple AOC maps. Please.

super!

[@MayconDouglas-lu7yr]

i really loved your intro hahaha

[@luatphung694]

thanks

[@user-tg8tq1kc5k]

hi! thanks for tut! i have a problem: when adding ao map to ao slot of fill layer it doubles(darkens) previous ao instead of replacing it(ao mixing set to replace already)

[@JulioCesarEspada]

Check around 4:55 in the video. You have to set the channel of the layer blending mode in the Aoc channel to Normal. I think Replace works too.

[@Fasimedes]

Gracias amigo... Podrías hacer un tutorial sobre cómo pintar normales? O sea, patrones como el corrugado de botones etc. Gracias de antemano!

[@JulioCesarEspada]

Gracias por la idea, me lo anoto :D

How to bake the 2 combined AO maps into albedo map this way?

[@baryafe]

how do you add ao to material tag?

[@balenwalker8209]

any fixes for the fill layer not flooding the object with white? Im in the correct ao view, but getting the no information checkerboard pattern.

[@JulioCesarEspada]

Hey Balen, check that the layer is in fact in ao mode and not in color. Drag the texture from the shelf to the ao channel of that layer.

[@ConnieGMK]

Can you paint an AO map without a mesh model being present?

[@JulioCesarEspada]

Can you elaborate a bit more what you would like to do? Substance requires a mesh to be able to paint something.

[@FullCaber]

can we generate ao textures in substance painter?

[@JulioCesarEspada]

Of course you can, just activate it in the bake process.

[@brozb4chorez831]

everytime i paint i get the message, mesh maps are not paintable, and so it won't let me paint directly on the AO map, any fixes or something i might have missed?

[@JulioCesarEspada]

Make sure you have Ambient Occlusion selected under Single Map in the viewport dropdown. Notice there are three "cathegories" there (in cursive). Lighting, Single Channel and Meshmaps.
