I have watched a bunch of designer tutorials and yours are by FAR some of the best. The way you walk through the graph explaining why you used each node is so helpful. THANKS!

[@KingdomCrafter]

Glad to know I was able to help, and that it holds up well haha! Ty

[@mateohenneron715]

Amazing tutorial, extremely well explained and straight forward. Even if I wasn't looking for a brick wall at first, I enjoyed learning stuff thanks to your video. Thanks a lot !

[@raphaelstiep9815]

This is by far the best Designer Tutorial I've seen so far. Well explained (the reason behind every Node), organized Node Graph and also explained in a way to see other use cases for it. Thank you man!

[@KingdomCrafter]

Absolutely, my pleasure!

[@SirEpifire]

I'm trying to refrain from using megascan textures as my base layers. I think you've just encouraged me to take another crack at Substance Designer!

[@KingdomCrafter]

Oh yeah, do it!

[@maiwandhimmat4808]

An absolute Gem, I give up on designer since I couldn’t get what I wanted but now inspired me again and made go back, great tutorial thank you ❤

[@KingdomCrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it, more coming soon!

[@dreamwave1994]

6:13 "pretty simple" lol this is awesome. You know what you're doing and you're really good at teaching

[@KingdomCrafter]

Lol glad you enjoyed that, and that's much appreciated, hope you walked away with some secret sauce :)

[@harveymason5782]

This video is excellent, super in depth. Helped me finish my first material in designer! Thank you :)

[@KingdomCrafter]

Woohoo, heck yeah!

[@ImaSneke]

I love this breakdown, not really beginner friendly but its great for someone that already knows their way around designer but wants to know more techniques.

[@KingdomCrafter]

Thanks Alf! And yeah definitely not the most beginner friendly, but maybe it can inspire some and give them a peak at some workflows

[@erichswartz1167]

Incredible breakdown of your process, and an absolutely fantastic tutorial

[@KingdomCrafter]

Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it 💯

[@robbo473]

Great Tutorial, really helped me understand the workflow of how to create a brick Material!

[@KingdomCrafter]

Glad I could help!

[@Sevada]

Fantastic 👌👌👌

[@atlas3614]

Amazing walkthrough, thank you!

[@KingdomCrafter]

Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it!

[@hermancebertrand2188]

Thank you I learned so much and it helped a lot!!

[@KingdomCrafter]

You're definitely welcome, glad to help!

[@north6935]

Thank you for the tutorial boss! I have a stone material I've been working on for a school project where would also need a stone material. I've seen designer materials that have parameters for you to change from a plastered wall to a brick or from a tile wall to something more broken; but is going from a brick wall to solid stone to drastic?

[@KingdomCrafter]

Absolutely! I don't think that's too drastic at all. Really it's whatever you want it to be, or want to experiment with. Using a height blending node, with either gradients or histogram select masks can give you a lot of control for a look like this.

[@JanBuczny]

Very good tutorial! Thank you❤

[@KingdomCrafter]

Absolutely, glad you liked it!

[@D_m9494]

👍👍👍

[@ilyachernobrov]

Very cool tutorial! One of the best on KZbin. Small thing that would make it even more cool if u would demonstrate each step in 3d separately. It is a bit hard to see the idea only through the 2d view sometimes. 👍👍👍

[@KingdomCrafter]

Thank you, glad to hear it! I'll definitely keep in this in mind, I appreciate the feedback 💯

[@coltish]

You’re a wizard! Would love to see you take this to Unreal Engine and show us some use cases. Applying it to meshes in a scene and adjusting the material in-engine, maybe procedurally? 🤫🤫

[@KingdomCrafter]

Haha glad you liked it! And that's definitely a really good idea! Could go perfect with explaining how to setup parameters.

[@armandel8621]

Great tutorial If possible, please show us how to import and use this in UE5 or unity

[@KingdomCrafter]

Thank you! And absolutely, i'll be putting out videos that show these sorts of processes

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

I hope to see something from scratch next time

[@KingdomCrafter]

Absolutely, I want to get out this sort of content as well, it will inevitably be longer and more involved, so it needs to be planned carefully. I'm brainstorming some ideas.
