Thank you so much for this. Easy to follow and to the point! I has struggling trying to understand why my gold from substance wasnt working. Clicking Alpha Is Luminance changed everything! Thanks again Mate!!
Could you do me a huge favor and tell me where you got this workflow from? I've been to 2 studios that are doing the same thing, and it's actually - no offense - pretty bad. I have a feeling it's Arnold's or Maya's crappy defaults, that no one is learning about
@@JoshAntonio It really did, my Maya teacher isn't exactly the most responsive outside of classes for some reason and the other tutorials were confusing me, this one helped a lot, keep it up!
One More Step: In the bump mapping tab uncheck FlipR channel, Flip G Channel, use derivatives and the normal maps should look exactly the same as it looks in Substance Painter.
I spent 8 hours trying to figure out why my roughness was f-ed up in the render and it was the one box wasn't checked alpha is luminance! FFFFFF, thank you for saving me from smashing my computer.
for glass material , how it works please ?? when i want to plug it in arnold maya i had a pb with transparency i don t know what and how to plug the nodes??
Thank you so much for making this clear and easy to understand! May I ask how to apply the height map? I noticed you had one but you didn't show where to plug it in the hypershade
I'll be making a detailed tutorial on displacement maps soon. In the meantime: Exporting wise you should get a height map with the PBR export so you'd want to use that map for the displacements. Plugging a displacement map in, Arnold has great documentation for all the parameters. docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/AFMUG/Displacement hope this helps
Don't forget to uncheck Flip R Channel and check Flip G Channel in the bump2d node attributes if you are using a DirectX Normal texture :) Uncheck both when using an OpenGL Normal texture
Hey, I’ve got a video on how to setup height/displacement maps. Also a video on what the benefit/disadvantage is of using one. These videos should help you get on your way. As for emissive I could make a tutorial for that, but you’d probably find easy instructions in the Arnold documentation.
Awesome!! Short and to the point. But my question is i see theres an Arnold option under the configuration along with other options. Whats the difference between using the method you demonstrate in this video as opposed to using the Arnold option ? I've seen a few tutorials that make use of that selection when exporting out to arnold in maya.
@@JoshAntonio thanks for your timely response. Now I do notice that I dont get that "metallic" export texture when I select the arnold preset. Is it necessary when trying to create a metallic object ?
Hey, If you're trying to create a pure metallic object such as a Iron Sword, then you could probably get away without using a map and setting the metalness value to 1. However, if you wanted to introduce more complex shading such a rust, you would most likely want to use a metalness map. This could be an interesting read for you: docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5AFMUG/Base I hope this helps.
I followed this tutorial like 5 times wandering what i was doing wrong, turns out i forgot to change my render engine to Arnold lmao, good tute tho, cheers dude
Is there some easier way to go through this plugging-in work? Like, it's OK for one object, but when texturing 10+ objects with 15 different materials, this workflow seem to be the Hell. Spending a whole day just clicking here and there again and again (and rename all the files, of course) frustrating me.
I tried to use tiff 32 bits and the rendering in max with arnold looks like shit, and then my supervisor at work told me to just stick with png 8 bits, but I want to know why...
*Can you please tell* When we import object in substance painter.... It will only take Lambert material.... But not Aistaderd suface..... *can we import object in Aistaderd surface in substance painter*
Assigning materials to an object in Maya before importing into Substance will create a new Texture Set in Substance for each material. That’s the same for if you use Lambert or an AiStandard material. Although you can paint PBR textures to use with Arnold, you won’t be able to work with Arnold shaders directly in Substance.
Lil question, part of my model have emissive on it, and as i do have emmisivie map i have no idea where should i put it- i did attach it to emmisve on hypershare but i am not able to see results on arnold render (im new with texturing), any ideas how can i make emmisive map to work?
Hey Martin, if you're using the Alpha for the information, make sure 'Alpha is luminance' is checked on the file node and drag the 'Out Alpha' into the top dot. If you're not using Alpha, then you'll want to drag one of the RGB values into the top dot. You won't be able to drag 'Out Color' as the shader is expecting one input and 'Out Color' has three - I usually just use the 'Out Color R'. Hope this helps!
Yeah aiNormalMap will work and I'd probably reccomend using it. If you're maps use the alpha for the information then you will need to check Alpha Luminance. I believe it's only for black and white maps; so roughness, metalness etc. Therefor you won't need to check it for the Normal Map.
I have a video about that here: th-cam.com/video/1XlYUYr9t3o/w-d-xo.html Also a video on when and why to use one: th-cam.com/video/3lvi2wO7xzA/w-d-xo.html
Make sure you're toggling on 'Alpha is Luminance' for the texture map. Or alternatively if you don't have alpha, connect just one of the RGB outputs from the file node as seen in the video. Hope this helps :)
I'm getting a weird shading problem with normal maps, whenever I add a normal map some edges around my model turn weirdly shaded dark. Any Ideas what this might be? prntscr.com/umqj19 (Picture of the problem)
Started texturing again and spent hours trying to figure out why my maps were not working, found this and you saved my life, thank you!!!
Glad I could help!
A short video with absolutely all the info that I need, 10/10.
Thanks 🙂
i feel as if ive been waiting for someone to explain this to me properly for years now. amazingly helpful explanation.

Arnold doesn't need any Ambient oclussion map? Or i can blend it with the base colour?
Nope it doesn't need an occlusion map, but yeah you could blend it or use it for masks.
for glass material , how it works please ?? when i want to plug it in arnold maya i had a pb with transparency i don t know what and how to plug the nodes??
You need to go to the Shape node of your model and roll to Arnold tab and disable Opaque option.
Thank you so much for making this clear and easy to understand! May I ask how to apply the height map? I noticed you had one but you didn't show where to plug it in the hypershade
Hey for sure I have a video here which goes deeper into displacement shaders: th-cam.com/video/1XlYUYr9t3o/w-d-xo.html
So, can I use these Arnold settings for other 3D projects?
Helped me a lot, thanks!
Awesome tutorial, so hard to find that information! But how would you export and plug a displacement map?

Hi! Great work! I noticed you don't use neither Height or Emissive. Why? (I'm beginner) Where should I plug that in? Thanks I have maya 2019 btw

No problem 🙂
can you make a Substance Painter to maya video on latest maya arnold
Okay I got ur point on alpha is luminance on roughness.. Now what about the alpha luminance on normal map case!? Check it on or off!?
A normal map uses the RGB values so keep it checked off
tanks....
Wouldnt The arnold ai standard preset be better for maya?
when i change the color space to raw it says that it doesn't match the color imput :c what did i do wrong?
Hi, I'm using Plastic diamond material, but it won show correctly in Maya Arnold renderer
Awesome!! Short and to the point. But my question is i see theres an Arnold option under the configuration along with other options. Whats the difference between using the method you demonstrate in this video as opposed to using the Arnold option ? I've seen a few tutorials that make use of that selection when exporting out to arnold in maya.
You can use either. Both options will give you all the PBR textures tiles you need for rendering.
@@JoshAntonio thanks for your timely response. Now I do notice that I dont get that "metallic" export texture when I select the arnold preset. Is it necessary when trying to create a metallic object ?

Rougness and metal map not working in maya with Arnold 4 ?
works with my first texture set but not for the others :c
how about emissive texture? where do import it is it under emission?
Alpha is luminance for metallic map too?
I followed this tutorial like 5 times wandering what i was doing wrong, turns out i forgot to change my render engine to Arnold lmao, good tute tho, cheers dude
Haha yeah that would fix it!! 😅
when i apply texture in aistandard surface evertthing turn black?? what i can do
If I wanna export my color Map RGBA i will have to check "alpha as luminance " as well?
thanks man , what to do about that height map

Spending a whole day just clicking here and there again and again (and rename all the files, of course) frustrating me.
@ ahaa I thought it works for one material per object. So thats good. Need to try it with my robot model. Thanks
Is there a reason why my normal maps never look as good in maya than in Substance painter?
In the bump mapping tab uncheck FlipR, Flip G Channel, use derivatives and the normal maps should look exactly the same.
i dont know why the color space always show color manager - off but in the setting is enable
I tried to use tiff 32 bits and the rendering in max with arnold looks like shit, and then my supervisor at work told me to just stick with png 8 bits, but I want to know why...
*Can you please tell*

I believe you’d want to plug that emissive texture into the emission colour parameter.
why height map is not assigned ?, can someone explain it to me why no one assigns heigh maps instead the assign normal maps
alone
Hey, I have a specific video on that: th-cam.com/video/1XlYUYr9t3o/w-d-xo.html
Hello for some odd reason I can't plug metallic node to the top dot just like you, even if I drag it to the panel on the left.
Hey Martin, if you're using the Alpha for the information, make sure 'Alpha is luminance' is checked on the file node and drag the 'Out Alpha' into the top dot. If you're not using Alpha, then you'll want to drag one of the RGB values into the top dot. You won't be able to drag 'Out Color' as the shader is expecting one input and 'Out Color' has three - I usually just use the 'Out Color R'. Hope this helps!
Where does the height map go?
I cover the topic here: th-cam.com/video/1XlYUYr9t3o/w-d-xo.html
Would aiNormalMap work the same as a 2dbump?
And to do you tick alpha luminance for all maps except base colour?
Yeah aiNormalMap will work and I'd probably reccomend using it. If you're maps use the alpha for the information then you will need to check Alpha Luminance. I believe it's only for black and white maps; so roughness, metalness etc. Therefor you won't need to check it for the Normal Map.
so we just ignore height maps?
