if you want some extra ripples on one side of the dunes you can use generated normals to fetch the sides/direction of the dunes. often dunes have one side that's fairly smooth (the side the wind blows against it). while the other side not affected by the wind often have a bit of a rippled texture to it.
Really interesting to see some nodes combinations as always 🙂. But, as the rest of the quicktip series, it's a bit sad that there is not much explanations. There is a quick overview of the nodes at the beginning but then it's going very fast and it's 95% of listing each parameter (which doesn't help understanding). I feel like the most difficult part of this software is understanding how nodes interact together rather than explaining their parameters individually. I'd love to see some slower quicktip vid taking the time to explain what you're doing instead of listing values, and WHY you're using each node, otherwise it's just "copy and try to understand yourself". Still a great showcase of what Substance Designer can do ofc, and it's always interesting to see how we can recreate real stuff with this software. (PS: If I may, about the whole quicktip series, it's also hard to read even in 1080p. Maybe it could be worth it to zoom a bit more or increase the resolution.)
Hey terence, i hear you, thanks for the comment. I'm always accutely aware of this... It's a struggle to explain a complicated software like Designer, and keep it short. People's attention span is so short these days and we want to aim for short 5 minute videos. Explaining things in depth like you are suggesting easily triples the video length. I think we can finetune things a bit more though!
This seems attractive to beginners but ends up with me just trying to emulate the barely explained steps and getting a headache. "Now this node, now this setting you never heard of, now this" - it goes bam, bam, bam. Someone who can follow this relatively comfortably probably doesn't need a video like this.

Can you please clarify what you mean by this?
love the quick tips, seems great for beginners and reminds me of things i've forgotten quickly after not using it for a while :)

@@Substance3D Totally understandable. Thank you for your answer and good luck with the next videos :).
Hey Tigra, hold space bar with your cursor in the window ;) happy designing!
Please keep these tutorials coming!
Great video, thank you!
Great tip thanks!

exactly, mission impossible for me. Im joining all this stuff together but i dont know why, or why it works the way it does
Cool!!! Love comes from China
what tool was used to create these presentations? awesome
Adobe After Effects.
YOU CAN TAKE SLOPE BLUR INTO THE NEGATIVE THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!?
Send dunes...
I think if you'll done this in Substance Designer, she'll not ignore you!!
good results but
way too complicated software.
i agree, it takes time to learn but it just means there more option to play around and thus more possibilities
