Substance 3D Quick Tip: How to create cracks in Substance Designer

[@ingameswetrust9812]

Pls share more of this ! So educative ❤❤

[@wes.mcdermott]

Will do! Thanks

[@H0w3r]

these cracks look awesome. Also looks like its a great base for a cracked dry dessert floor texture. Do you mind sharing your tile sampler values to achieve this result ?

Thanks! You can download the SBS file here: www.dropbox.com/s/k31dlzwcny7uz41/Cracks.sbs?dl=0

You've gained a subscriber! Already watched two of your tutorials and it's really great! Do you have a full version of this? I can't find a Tile Sampler (Legacy)

[@wes.mcdermott]

Here is an older sbs I created for environment work. I have a crack maker in this file. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4x3o9hogqzahhwzps0pno/EnvironmentToolkit.sbs?rlkey=vd6kencfjqwgim6jfggum0los&dl=0

This isnt really possible to follow. Could we please have a more full tutorial? :)

[@ChuckPalomo]

I've noticed that the alpha textures that come with substance painter come with editable parameters. Is it possible to create that type of masks by exposing the corresponding parameters, and then importing as an alpha in painter?

[@wes.mcdermott]

Yes! You can create your own parametric alphas using Substance Designer.

I've noticed that after the first slope blur greyscale, it looks a bit like silk. Perhaps it could be used to make silk with some modification.

[@wes.mcdermott]

Indeed! So many different use cases in Designer

[@Soulsphere001]

@@wes.mcdermott Yeah, slope blur greyscale is a very interesting node. It can be used for adding details to cracks, used for chipped paint, and I think it can be used to add details in rocks on a stone wall. I'm sure there are a lot more uses for it, but those are the ones I've directly seen. I've been enjoying the process of learning about Substance Designer. Like anything, initially it's overwhelming but in time I learned some of the basics. I'm not sure if I would consider my Substance Designer skills at the basic or intermediate level. Probably late basic level, though I still have a lot to learn. Oh, I just read that you created the PBR guide. I downloaded the PDF version, but have yet to read it. I did skim a few sections, since I was interested in learning when to various levels of metallic. It's definitely something I should read sooner than later. Anyway, I hope you have fun creating things.

but do you sell crack??

[@zdspider6778]

I think you clicked the wrong video, mate.

[@zachwilkins8392]

How does the cells 1 turn into the cracks in the tile sampler node? Currently mine is just blocks

Here is the source file from the short video. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0b3sype0xpxlonk8xx5qn/Cracks.sbs?rlkey=86h8kji3dberk4xs44w0czmlt&dl=0

[@888meddler]

i cant make that tile sampler map i conecct all the nodes but stil like gradient how i can make that tile sampler map ? can u help me please?

[@schonkigplavuis8850]

Please don't ever make a tutorial in shorts.. I love it so much but i cannot scroll back

[@wes.mcdermott]

Thanks for the input! Just experimenting with some of the clips I had created. I share these tips in short format on my Instagram and was thinking it might work well on YT. I have lots of these on my IG. instagram.com/wesrmcdermott/

[@schonkigplavuis8850]

@@wes.mcdermott Sorry i don't have instagram and have very little interest in it. I'll give you a subscriber tho! You are great, but YTube shorts at the moment are awful.

[@Pewi_3D]

​@@schonkigplavuis8850Just do: 1. Right click on the video 2. copy the video url 3. open a new tab in your browser 4. paste this address (now it will be displayed as a normal yt video)

Brother is there any way you can make a burl wood tutorial? Thank you!

[@wes.mcdermott]

Great suggestion! I will take a look.

[@user-su2id5pt3g]

@@wes.mcdermott there is all types of wood out there even on substance source. Found none like burl wood veneer except on quixel megascans, but those are scanned. A tweakable sbs file is alot more fun and versatile. I hope you will maybe one day do a tutorial for this type of wood brother!

[@smarteyetechnology3308]

Please make a tutorial on how to make calacatta gold marble?

[@wes.mcdermott]

Thanks for the suggestion! That is a good material

[@MaxPuliero]

neat!

[@contra-flow9507]

COOL！！！

I have no idea how is this considered an instructional video. this is clearly intended to show off, whist calling it a "quick tip" for views.

[@wes.mcdermott]

It shows the nodes used to create the effect. Was looking to try to create a video that produces an effect that can be learned very quickly. Would be better to have included a voice over. I will work to improve quick tips in the future.
