[@Lukey_3D]

this is a fantastic video. For the source files on gumroad, do they include the substance designer graph? Trying to piece it together my self but I'm no expert haha.

[@ArthurMorganus]

Is the wind material set up of the trees and grass the same as the one on the shrubs?

[@kirilliakushev2906]

How to make two material on the bark ?

[@GatyhInteractive]

Do you have any course to learn all this workflow in details ??

[@BeyondExtent]

Thanks you for this :) @@BeyondExtent

[@e2sato]

Hi, where I can find the workshop with Rishab Nanda "Differences between in-house and outsource studios" ?

[@BeyondExtent]

Thanks so much for bringing that up, unfortunately the video quality for that workshop was really bad so decided not to upload it.
(We've since then fixed the video quality issues in other workshops, so hopefully it doesn't happen in the future)
Sorry for the inconvenience

[@e2sato]

@@BeyondExtent is there any place where I could watch it? i wouldn't mind if was even only audio, as a podcast

[@cowcowcow2012]

I'm interested in the explanation of the texture sheet using Substance Designer. Does the video also include the Substance Designer data in the source files?

[@BeyondExtent]

Thanks for the question, I'm not sure if they do.
But if you use the code "Skilltree" in the checkout you get the files for free, so you could give it a look :D
