If you're feeling stuck or distracted from your art, or from anything in your life, odds are you're missing the key element.
This video will show you what I have been doing to improve my art on a daily basis, and how to transform the way you approach your projects and master anything you do!
Don't be discouraged.
If you take a break from Art, it will come back in time.
All things require a process, even if that process means not doing anything at all.

Hell yeah! This turned out great, glad I could be of help.
Thanks for everything man! 🙏 You are always giving me so much help!
Now this is excellent. Keep up the splendid work.
Knight Fish Thank you!! Hope this helps bring some clarity to the mess of programs out there. ;D
Omg I have looked at other tutorials and I can say this is the best one! Thank you :D
Wow!! Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful! 🙏
It by far is I was about to give up before I found this video. Great video!
@@ramrover9826 Right on. Glad to hear that!
Great videos! Thank you!
freeone77 Thank you! 🙏
Thank you! Good job!
Thank you!! Glad it was helpful! :D
Thank you so much! You are pro and very nice man! :)
Aw thank you! 🙏 I’m glad you are liking the format! More to come soon!!
Hey thanks brooo
No prob!! Glad it was helpful! 👍👍
great videos
Thank you!
Thank you! but I have one question, so I did it and it worked perfectly but the on some parts of my model are like wicked bright when it is all one color
Hey! That is interesting. It could be a few things.
When using Smart Project for UV’s in Blender the UV’s come out pretty messy, so the texture ends up in places you don’t want it.
It could also be the material in Blender that is assigned to your object. Maybe the roughness or metallic are changed on the material itself, which would affect the way the texture looks.
Could also be that multiple textures from Sub Painter are overlapping and messing with each other, or an extra texture socket like emissive or height is messing up when plugged in inside Blender.
Check the channels that each layer has in Substance Painter (color, roughness, height, normal, etc) and make sure that those are the only things plugged in in the shading menu in Blender.
Also try unhooking things and see how it affects the textures to try narrowing it down.
Hope this helps :P
Hi! Nice video....im having big issues with the displacements / height maps exported from substance, into blender. I have no idea what im doing wrong - i export the textures the right way (i think), and then plug them in with the shortcut (shiht control t) - and the 3d printed materials from substance arent coming out well. any ideas?
Hey man! Sorry to hear you’re having issues. Sometimes it’s a big process getting things to work between programs. First off, when you export the textures from Substance Painter, is there a channel for Displacement in the export settings for the preset you created/chose? Like RGB, Normal, etc? Also, you can change your view in Sub Painter to see only the Displacement map (Theres a menu in the top right of the viewport). Check in Sub Painter to make sure it looks the way you want it. And when you plug it into Blender what does it look like? Or does it show up at all?
Yessssss
Hope this helps!! Let me know if I missed anything! ;)
hello, i don't understand. When you export your texture, you don't choose blender output template. But blender is the one you created just before
You’re right! I forgot to mention that. When exporting to Substance Painter I exported the model as an Obj file. Just make sure all parts you want to export have UV’s, and are all combined (select all parts and press ctrl + J). When you go to File, Export in Blender, choose Wavefront Obj or Fbx, then be sure to select “Selection Only” on the right side of the save window. All the other export settings can be left alone. Hope this helps!
ok, Node wrangler is clutch...
I'm actually working on a sort of similar workflow right now.
I have a character sculpted in Zbrush, just using dynamesh and getting to a point of moderate detail. Then I use GoZ into Blender (using GoB add-on) where I retopo and cut seams to make my UV sets. GoB back into Zbrush, subdivided up to the polycount of the original dynamesh subtool and project. From here I plan to possibly subdivide more and add in additional detail as I see fit (to the level of fabric texture and skin pores sculpted into the GEO and polypaint to guide my texturing). I also have each subtool polygrouped by the UV islands. I plan to export out FBX of my highest level subdivs and my lowest level for each subtool and have substance generate normal/displacement maps (I did this before month ago but coming out of Blender).
The way you merged everything is an interesting thought tho, but i feel I'd lose some control with how I'm working now? I'd lose the ability to change subdivs per 'polygroup' at that point right? I also have no clue if my UVs would be retained as well.
I haven't exported textures out of Substance yet but wow, the universal color picker and now this token system look pretty awesome! should be standards across all programs imo.
Jay Purrington Right on! Its all such a process. Im hoping to share my thoughts on baking high/low poly once I get there. I’m still figuring much of that out. 👍👍 Thanks for sharing your process as well!
@@Gatz3D haha same here! I'd love to see what you figure out.
This is the (if not one of) the videos I watched for what I'm talking about (Blender to Substance)
th-cam.com/video/aqYyUQheyLc/w-d-xo.html
Starts around 4:05
Okay mine is different to use what config do i use as you used Documant channels+normals+AO(no alpha) and if so what was the point in setting up the blender file
EDIT:NVM also i auto subbed xd
MasterNinja786 All good. Making the Blender preset, or any preset with Normal, RGB, Roughness, etc is just making a custom output for the specific channels youre exporting from Sub Painter. You can change it or add/subtract any channels at will, and it can be different each time depending on what you’re creating. Sometimes you don’t need a height map, or a metallic, etc.
Hope you got it working!
You’re very handsome btw.
Thanks for the tut
Why thank you! 😄 Those are kind words! Glad you found it helpful as well!
HELLO. is there a way to export emission lighting/glare to blender from SP?
Hmmm... I think that would be a material thing in Blender. Im not sure what the settings for the pbr metallic shader in SP are like, but maybe it could mimicked in Blender using some shader nodes and specific settings?
@@Gatz3D Hey thanks for responding. I think i figured it out. emmissive materials that are in a mask part of a substance painter layer wont export into blender at all? is there a function in the export setup on substance that can only export a fill layer that was masked?
@@GravNevS I haven’t heard of any methods to export masking out of Sub Painter.
Wish I could give you a solid answer.
@@Gatz3D Lets say i import an obj into substance painter that came from blender. would there be a way to export the textures i make on substance painter to blender and keep the auto generated uv maps made by substance painter for the model that came from blender without any uv projection made in blender?
@@GravNevS You might be able to export the UV’s from Sub Painter. Try exporting your file as an FBX from Sub Painter and see if the UV’s hold in Blender.
I will say though, taking that extra time to create your own UV’s before importing into Substance Painter can save you loads of trouble later, especially if you’re making a character for games. If it’s just for a render and not animation or anything like that, you’ll probly be fine. :)
well im gonna wait 100 years more to this operation be more simple :)
Hahaha yes, it is definitely complicated. 😂😂
I wish someone could do something about that. Maybe Blender will get some love one of these years and they’ll make an easier plugin for this sort of thing. :D
omg it's pewdiepie
@pewdiepie doesn’t know 🤫🤫
