Watching this felt like finding the advice on how to beat a level of a game you haven't been able to piece everything together yet to solve. The Uv map suggestions, Normal map baking, and so on are what I haven't been able to make sense of over the past year while in college for 3D animation. Putting things into a use-case scenario all together as well as you did here was so helpful. Looking forward to seeing how much I can repair of a 26M point zbrush file i spent a few hundred hours on including poly-painting before realizing I should have used subdivisions not high dynamesh resolution a year ago has made it hard to justify cleaning it all up now but this and a few other processes should get it closer to functional for sure. Subscribed and really appreciate the effort you put towards creating this tutorial,
tks
I was soo depressed but then i found your video now i have a perfect low poly model in substance painter 🎉
It's so weird. If you want to learn zbrush, there are tons of fantastic, professional tutorials. If you want to learn Substance Painter, again, tons of great tutorials. If you want to learn how to export models from zbrush to substance painter there's like 5 tutorials and they all suck. This tutorial is is in its own league. it's so helpful and straight forward and complete. All the other tutorials are like "okay, so take your unsubdivided poly corrected neutral mesh that's been converted to quasi high poly with obtuse ngons then simply hit export. if you haven't already unsubdivided poly corrected neutralized your mesh to be quasi high poly with obtuse ngons, be sure to do that before starting this tutorial. there are other videos that explain how to do that. i won't be focusing on it for this video. anyways, once you have that done, it's super easy."
or they're like "okay, we're going to be exporting from zbrush to substance painter, but first, we're going to touch up our model in another 3d program you don't know how to use. sooooo sucks to be you."
thank you for making this a complete tutorial, fabs. you're artwork is awesome, btw.
I was looking for this information days ago. you saved my day and my project. I really appreciate that you have taken the time to explain so well and so clearly this process that can seem complex to us newbies. Thank you very much again for sharing. Suscribed ✌
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

Thank you.
Thanks you for the tutorial :3
Hi! Thanks a lot for the tutorial!
Thanks, that was a great help! You can also use Subtance's auto-unwrap, I don't know which one solves UVs better but it's good to know it's also available!
This is a great video. Thank you.
This was so helpful!! thank you so much for this tutorial :D
No worries!
Sorry for spamming this comment section 🙃 just and fyi to other viewers. you need to save your low poly model with _low and your high poly model with _high at the end of the respective files to the high to low poly bake. might seem obvious to some but I thought Fabs was saying to do this for organization reasons. you need to do this or substance painter won't do the bake.
thank u so much really helpful, just the workflow i was searching for, just starting out with zbrush for concept art and its seems a really simple process
Awesome! let me know how it goes.
Thank you, this was great! You are a great teacher, I'd love to see more content like this. Really helped me out.
Thanks, I plan to work on some new content. What area interest you the most and maybe I can target that.
@@fabbiotimpano Maybe on how to proceed inside Substance for texturing the models? I've picked up studying zbrush recently and been mainly '"texturing" my models with polypaint and compositiing in photoshop. I can make it look cool, but only from the angle I've rendered the artwork at. Would be nice to know how to make the textures correctly.
@@DCrispimthat sounds like a great idea. I can delve more into a substance painter soon! Stick around because I got loads more content as well that will help.
Thanks for this tutorial.
It's an awesome workflow to get a preview on the final textures.
Thats great to hear! I use it always to get a good visual understanding of how my textures are going to look on my characters.
definitely
going to use on my next sketch :D@@fabbiotimpano
Waaaaao this is very a great video, help me a lot thanks, suscribed for sure
Hi god, its me again... Thank you good sir
❤❤
And now if you want to rig this model? I assume you would texture it, export the maps and then rig it in whatever software and then apply all the texture maps and finally render?
What if there are problems with some details? For example, after divide + project all, not all elements were projected as required. In some moments there is emptiness, something was not transferred to the end, and somewhere there were empty places altogether.
Very nice video, but I have a question. How many polys can substance bakes with the high poly ? (even if the model has already been decimated)
Good question, this is a technical question depending on how good your computer is. I can usually bake out a few million polys onto a 30k tri mesh with no problems, but my computer was built for high demand when baking so I very rarely run into errors when baking.
If you find that you are having problems with the baking then just re-project high details onto a low poly again in zbrush and then decimate it, you will be able to achieve some high detail but low poly mesh doing this.
goodluck :)
How do you get around the problem that zremesher loses its shape on the sharp parts of the model?
thank you, but what about if you need to work with multiple subtools from a project in substance, not just body?
You can export out more than just one part of the mesh, just make sure they dont share the same UVs and are seperate polygroups :)
the croc god should be green anyway😅
This was amazing, so easy to follow along to and understand. Can I export multiple or all the tools (all-together) to substance painter?
I believe if you have one single mesh with multiple poly groups and each have their own UVs then you could. I would have to check my project to see if it's possible.
me sirvio de mucho ese video ya ando aprendiendp zbrush no encotra algo que explicra bien como su video
Thats amazing, thankyou! (Eso es asombrosa gracias)
Thanks, quick question...Does that final model in Substance actually have that geometric detail or does it need a displacement map for the rendering software I would be using? For instance, If I'm using Unreal 5.3 and I don't want to use Nanite Displacement, will I still see all that detail just with normals, roughness albedo etc? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for the question.
The short answer is Yes, you will get these details in your normal, roughness, base textures. Although you will need to consider what textures you output from Substance. The geometric detail you are reffering to would definitely be in the normal map!
In unreal or any other real-time program all you would need to do is create a material shader with the option to apply a normal map texture.
I can also mention that before going into any major programs like unreal/unity etc. I would even consider dropping your model into Marmoset (real-time renderer) and play with the maps you got from substance, this is also another quick way to see how it would like in its final state.
im having trouble losing all details in the eyes doing this, if anyone has any tips let me know
the eyes become crusty little objects and all definition
Sir, if my low poly mesh uses UVS of UDIM to import into substance painter, But is it feasible to use high poly mesh without UVS or not UDIM as "use low poly mesh as high poly mesh" for low poly baking details? The UVS of the two models are different, will it matter? Please help me!
If the high poly and low poly line up then it will bake. You only need UVs for your low poly.
thankyou！@@fabbiotimpano
The seams still look the same for me after I do protect paint, what's wrong?
You need to paint the mesh again or even unwrap it again.
mate nobody want's to see your mug, esp not at the detriment of seeying the bloody apps.
