So well explained, thanks.

[@dat.guy_nitin5]

absolutely best for beginners!

[@sassuskrassus3166]

this is so well done GJ

[@dangerousmindgames]

I'd just like to say that this tutorial is far better than either of the two paid tuts I've tried on Udemy. You explain each step, each mouse click as you're doing it so clearly that I'm blow away that I was able to do such a great paint job on my first try as I couldn't seem to do anything with the other tuts. Also, is there another place to get those dirt grunge decals since substance launcher is no longer working? Free or paid sites that offer different maps would be awesome. Thanks!

im looking for free sites too

[@conorowens6345]

[@SSFX]

Can you project perfectly from an imported camera? For example if I do photogrammetry and import the FBX camera and photo, I can only roughly manually position the projected photo.

[@NN-wc7dl]

Great!

[@ultraboy99x]

[@eknight2904]

Nice tutorials. Having e to rotate and r to scale as shortcuts made me giggle, though. Cannot be more counterintuitive than that, or someone had tremendous fun. I suggest using s as a shortcut for moving as well ;-)

[@jonathaningram8157]

at least it's the same as 3dsmax.

[@neoultra6528]

Thanks! I likely would have made the robot's name logo symmetrically fit next to that rounded rectangle, by the way.

[@lucutes2936]

thx

[@galbrightperry4506]

This is a great guide, but I think you should have used a free dirt asset since some users purchased a perpetual license of painter through steam and don't have full access to substance source

[@christopherk4166]

Also for people who are using the 1-month trial. However, I've found that the "Large Rust Leaks" material works nicely if you lower the color value and reduce the layer opacity.

[@niemanickurwa]

How do you access Source when you have a perpetual license on Steam you know?

[@42earthling]

Thanks for these very good tutorials! I do have a question about the model, when painted are we free to use it in projects and share it or not?

[@DisneyUpBoilerUp]

How do you open the substance launcher? @substance by Adobe thanks

[@lynaldine910]

I cant find anywhere in the newer version ; properties > UV Wrap check box > repeat option to none, any idea? thank you

[@adrianhebreros]

so sad the educational licence doesnt have substance source

[@mick0978]

I have the latest version of substance 3d painter via monthly subscriptions, but I don't seem to have access to as many decals like there are here on the community assets page that loads from substance painter side tool bar.

[@MrKiraBR]

NIIIICE!

[@pablolopez6721]

When I use planar projection the sides look stretched (because of the projection only on one axis) and the bottom of this model in particular looks really bad. I've tried tri-planar projection but doesn't work as it also makes the top of the robot darker. Is there a way to avoid this?

[@Substance3D]

You can use triplanar on the Fill layer and then mask the areas where you do not want to texture to be projected. The triplanar projection will get rid of the stretching but you will need to mask it. Planar project works best for flat surfaces such as adding a decal such as a logo or label.

[@pablolopez6721]

@@Substance3D Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try that!

I want to add a decal on my model (a logo sticker) but the wood material under it still goes trough it (wood fibers), any idea how I can make it so the sticker is on top of it all without anything going trough it?

[@jimmysgameclips]

One thing I want from Substance, and I've not used a newer version so I don't know if this was added, was the ability to easily paint image decals onto a layer. I did it a couple years ago and it was such a roundabout way I had to do it

[@Substance3D]

There are many different ways to do it (alpha stamp, fill layer, stencil), you should just try it out. It's not that hard.

[@noobish5574]

Just make a stencil or make the alpha of the brush the image. It litterally takes 2 seconds to do.

[@matthewcs490]

Hi. At 3:52, I cannot duplicate the "Font Orbitron" effect by right-clicking. In fact, I can't do it at all! I have the latest version of Substance Painter and the Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V don't work either. Can you tell me how to solve this problem pls? Thank you.

[@Substance3D]

For the copy effects, when you use right-click, does the context menu appear?

[@froztbytesyoutubealt3201]

Substance Painter on steam doesn't include substance source :(

[@rushikeshshirsat7276]

Is there any way to add decals from our library (which are not from presets and substance sourse)?

[@Ro3D_DigitalInsights]

I wanted to ask the same thing, maybe add a simple image I made on a 2D program, or a simple png with trasparency.

[@Substance3D]

Just drag and drop into the library. Make sure it's square and ideally 1024 or 2048 in resolution. Set the usage to "alpha" or "texture".

After changing the UV wrap to None, my decal still repeats all over the object. Following your tutorial.

[@EarleSara]

Is there a way to create "stickers" to add to a model. I mean, like adding stickers to an hard surface object with alpha, color and roughness already applied.

[@jamesm7414]

Can we import our own fonts or create custom normal decals?

[@Substance3D]

Fonts you'd have to go through Designer and create a package per font. Some community members have done a video about it. I agree its not easy or ideal, but there's legal reasons for it. Custom normals decals yes sure, you can just import any normalmap texture, or make them in Designer.

[@deanfitri5219]

Hi there. Mine dont have Surface tool button as mention in 2:03. how to I find this tool? and also why does my font is repeatative?

[@avantikasrivastava5417]

DID U FIND THE SOLUTION ? CAUSE I'M ALSO HAVING QUERY

[@gergolaky3624]

I am still very skeptical about substance painter, because I feel like I can do all this without it in the modelling program, but the end result of my model is making my stance hard

[@MrAkurvaeletbe]

How to remove decals though other than ctrl z??? Is there some eraser tool?

[@m347f0x]

You can delete fill layer with projection

[@wes.mcdermott]

We do have an Eraser tool. Often, I use the decal as a mask to a fill layer and use a painter layer above the fill to paint out or in parts of the decal. As a mask driving a fill layer, you can then use the fill to create the material.

[@anthoooo]

how do i launch substance source?

[@noobish5574]

I was devastated when Adobe bought substance. Algorithmic sold out. Noone wants to keep paying a subscriptions of what 16 dollars a month. That's why I'm never going past substance painter 2. And substance share is gone also. Dark dark day for substance painter.

[@Substance3D]

Sorry to hear! You can still buy permanent licenses on Steam. The subscription cost is also the same as before. We hope you try out the new features some day, we're actually adding tons of new stuff each release. (and PS there is a new Share website, it's called Community Assets: substance3d.adobe.com/community-assets. Still working on getting it up to par with the previous, feature-wise)

R for scale hahaha

Until up now all good. Nice voice over, simple, understandable but.... then he said W=Move E=Rotate and R=Scale. And i was like ... no f..ng way they programmed this. Facepalm. Common sence would be S=Scale R=Rotate and keep Move to W whatever or G= like Grab omg. Angry comment.

[@Substance3D]

You can change these shortcuts in a couple of seconds. It's actually based on being easily accessible, instead of a logical letter that's hard to reach. No need to be angry. On top of that, we're trying to use a sort of industry standard hotkeys: Maya and Max both use the same keys for these functions.
