Thank you, I think the same :D

Thanks!

Yes, you just need to set the height channel to 100% and the blending mode for the height channel to substract instead of multiply.

@@debe3D awesome thanks

You are welcome!

Hey Göran, thanks, glad you like it! The name in the outliner didn't change because I didn't save the package. As soon as you save it, the name in the outliner changes as well.

@@debe3D Ahh... Thanks!

You are welcome!

Hey, thank you very much! For your problem, to do it really precise I think it would require quite some setup. You could either try with the Flood Fill Mapper and a rotation input (shapes will be rotated based on grayscale values), or it might be better to go the route with a "Guided Scatter" node where you would use an orientation and/or vector input. Maybe there is a less complicated way, when I think of something, I'll let you know.

Hey Clémentine, sure feel free to publish it! Glad you liked the tutorial. You can post the link so I can give it a like, can't wait to see it!

Thank you very much, glad it's useful!

Thanks! Glad you like this format. I don't know how technical I really can get before it turns really boring, but I try to explain even more. Indeed, the BBox stand for bounding box and is a really useful node, for example for natural scattering of rocks etc. However, I'll make some more of those as there is a lot to cover.

Glad you like it!

Hey, thank you very much, appreciate it and glad it's helpful! Exporting the texture via the 2D image viewer is indeed possible. When you open the image viewer with the image you want to export, the menu to the left will give you two options to do so: at the top you have the disk icon, which will write your Image to disk. Below that you have the clipboard icon which will copy the image to clipboard when pressed. You can then paste the image into an application like paint or Photoshop to save it. Hope that helps!

Thank you, appreciate it and glad it's helpful! There will be new videos for sure, especially about layering/asset texturing I am planing to do more. Thanks for the tip, I didn't think about it tbh. I basically tried to texture like I would be usually, but I think your idea is great and useful for a tutorial, will keep that in mind for the next one!

@@debe3D thank you so much for your understanding and kind words. I look forward to the next ones (while I devour the current uploaded ones on InstaMat eheh). Take care!

Thanks! Appreciate it that you enjoy my videos. :) Take care!

Thank you very much, appreciate it and really glad that it is useful!

Yeah ;D Trying some things out, thought such quick tipps might be nice as short. But will mainly make regular videos nonetheless, a short just from time to time maybe.

Hey, that is something I do not know, I am a private person. Looking on the official website, there isn't such an option. Maybe you could ask in the offical forum or discord. I think they can answere this question over there.

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

You are welcome, thanks for watching!

Hey, I am a private person, so I cannot speak for the company, but as far as I know there isn't such an option unfortunately. The options I know of are the free pioneer license, which is without any limitations, the indy/startup option for ~10$ a month and the perpetual for ~489$ and then the business options which are a bit pricier. You can find more about the pricing on the official page instamaterial.com.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Chunck! Glad that there is stuff in it that is helpful!

Thank you very much, appreciate it! Hope to have some more coming soon!

Thanks for the comment! Maybe in the future, human skin is kinda difficult as it heavily depends on which part of the body the skin is. It differs a lot.

@@debe3D kindly do skin texture of all body parts ,face, arms, legs, upper body,lower body. You can make a series of it for your channel

That's actually a good idea, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

Hey, thanks! I've never tried that, but MAT is all about automatiation, so there should probably be a way.

also what is your default material height set to?

also how did you get the edges of the cube to stay so clean when it tiles the texture?

Hey, it's just a simple setup with the "Base Material" node and AO, Normal, Base Color, Roughness and Metalness input into it. Nothing special really. I can upload it if you'd like to have it.

That really depends on the material I am working on. In this case for a rock it was quite high to have a good amount of displacement. As far as I remember to 10 or greater.

Not sure here, I was just using the standard cube that is provided with Designer.

I am working on something a bit more simple currently to be able to fully narrate it and so it doesn't take too long. But the ideas sound nice, especially the lava as I already did one and could do an upgrade! Nice idea, thanks!

Thanks, appreciate it! More are coming soon. :)

You are welcome!

You are welcome. Indeed, it's a really great tool to have!

Definitively! just create a nice material.

I think at least one more of those basic ones would be nice, at least I'd like to learn about some nodes.

@@hwdpitm by making materials u learn the nodes as well

​@@carlosrivadulla8903Didn't think about this, you are right

@@carlosrivadulla8903 Indeed, I also think that's the best thing to do! Maybe I'll be able to wrap something up over the weekend.

Hey Mostafa, thank you very much, appreciate it! Did you try to change the dynamic settings of the brush as shown at 26:17? When you change it to "Pressure", it should work. Edit: I just reckecked again, the issue could be that you need to set e.g. "Size" to something greater than "0%" (if you are using size with pressure). If it's at 0%, it doesn't work.

Those timelapsed tutorials are more aimed towards advanced users with a basic understanding of the program and they work quite well, especially when you reduce the playback speed and it's in realtime. If you are looking for a beginner tutorial, I also have a simple "ice floe" tutorial which is narrated.

It's really powerful and awesome, no question!

Thanks a lot, glad it's helpful!

Thank you very much for watching! Indeed, it's really great that the tool is free for indys, now we basically have everything to get started. If only the day had more hours. :D

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I am not sure if this is the best, but one way you could do it would be to drop your Layering Project as many times as the number of materials the mesh has into an Element Graph, then in the nodes you could change your "Mesh Material" for each of the nodes to the different materials and use "Material Blend" nodes with "Mask Mode" set to "From Base Color" to blend your Layering Projects materials together, then export the single material via the Element Graph. You can use the "Link Category Mode" to make connecting easier. Again, not sure if there is a simpler way, but that works for me. Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot Sean!

Thanks a lot Jeremy, appreciate it!

Hey Carlos, this is something I cannot fully answere I am afraid. I am mainly a material artist and still learning the layering workflow. If you have masks etc, you can just drop them into your project though, not sure if it works with attributes assigned in Houdini (never used it I'm afraid). For a better answere you could check the official community forum or the discord server. Usually you'll get an answere very fast!

Hey Steve, tbh I am still learning the Layering workflow and mostly know the basics. What I know is that InstaMATs layering is using a 3D volume tech and is not as focused on UV's as this is not as scalable. For example, when you finished texturing an asset, you can drop it into the Element Graph, it will spawn as a node. You can then drop a different Mesh and input it into the layering project - your asset will be fully textured like the one that you textured before. When working with UV based painting/projections etc, this would not work as seamless. So I am not sure if what you want is possible yet, but if I recall correctly, it might be something for the future, not sure though! You could ask in the official community forum or the discord, I am sure you will get a more comprehensive answere.

Sure, there will be more soon. :)

Thanks a lot and thanks for the great workflow explanation, I missed it! Still Learning. :D

Yeah I know, sorry for that! I am currently using a laptop so the fan noise is quite distracting. I tried noise cancellation etc but with little success. My main rig is currently out of order but when it's back soon, it'll get better. Meanwhile I'll try nvidia broadcast, thanks for the tip!

You would NOT have survived OG TH-cam lmao

Oh yea, those times. :D

Thank you! This was the first video I made in real speed, glad it's helpful! I am currently more busy with InstaMAT tutorials, which is a new and free alternative for Designer. As the workflows are similiar in regards of material creation, I am sure there is something to pick up for Designer users as well!

Hey Jeff, thank you very much! Great that you already like MAT. Generally I think such a video is a good idea, but I am not sure if the comparison would be fair, as the last version of SD and SP I have is from 2021, thus quite old. I could make a general video about the workflows in MAT and quality of life improvements etc. Do you have anything specific in mind? For the next video I planned to show some workflows about layering/texturing and the one after would probably be about procedural material creation.

Thanks @@debe3D , I understand. As an example, the FloodFill nodes in InstaMAT seems to be more efficients and give us more options than SD ... I think. A video about all those FloodFill nodes would be great. I'm planning to use InstaMAT with Blender ... when the addon will be available. Proceduralism of Geometry Nodes combined with proceduralism of InstaMAT will probably opens new workflows. Thanks for all and sorry for my bad English 🙂.

That's a good idea Jeff, thanks! I also hope that the Blender integration will be available soon. I'll make a video on layerin (asset texturing) first, as the demand seems to be quite high and then I go over to making some about procedural material creation, explaining all the Flood Fill nodes and more. There are really many powerful nodes there that I did not see anywhere else before.

Hey Alejandra, no worries, feel free to ask! I am not sure if I understand correctly though, do you mean in the Albedo section? There is a Normal node that is connected to a "Curvature Smooth" node, and the same Normal node and an Ambient Occlusion node is connected to the "Dust" node.

Thanks a lot, you are welcome!
