Hi, Tim. I live in Cali, Colombia. I am 58 years old. My respects for such a spectacular tutorial. I am starting in this wonderful world of 3D and I learned many things from 3Ds Max and Substance, with which it was the first time I faced, as well as the workflow of a great in this profession. Thank you.
Thank you! Yeah that's why I also don't have that many tutorials out yet, they just take a good while to produce. But it's fun and more to come in the future!
Chamferzone--you have the best, clearest tutorials on the interwebs. I am a game dev between jobs who needs to learn Substance fast and you have saved my azz. When I am employed again I will give you some dollars if you have a Paypal account.
I just made it! Although I could only create default version, since I'm scared that my computer won't survive Bumblebee version, I'm really pleased that I could follow all steps through, and with literally no knowledge of substance painter whatsoever! I had to use substance painter 2, since my computer can't even load substance painter 2018, which got me scared that I could not follow this amazing tutorial.. Thank you so much and I can't wait for another video!
Amazing! Thanks to your lessons, I learned how to make really cool content for my games! You are just a professional! I look forward to new lessons! And plan courses that I will definitely buy!
Would be good to see the settings for material export and set up of materials in max for corona or vray. Great work, videos clear and to the point, cheers.
Okay, but what about High Poly version? what if you need only the high poly version of the model? I think will be much harder to unwrap and texture it? or is there any good way? and if high poly models need normal maps too?
Tim: "Subsampling 4x4 for AO is only for people with fast computer" - Me: "Come on Tim, i can do it !!" It's been 20min. and i'm still at 0% baked for AO ^^... Edit: Took 30minutes :p
Love the tutorials dude, so amazing that we have professionals like yourself helping others to make just as great content. If you're doing more in the future. I just want to throw a idea out there to do some Organic 3D models. Stuff that is a bit different to hard surface. I know a lot of people would be keen on that. Thanks dude!
Thanks Condogz, much appreciated. Plans for tutorials combining organic with hardsurface are already in planing stages! I can't quite promise yet if it's already the next one but it will happen sooner or later :)
Danke Tim for the detailed instruction. These tutorials will definitely help me to get used to substance painter. I am planning to create the thor hammer and texture it in substance painter. When I'll be done I'd be very happy to share it with you on fb. By the way what do you think is it a good idea to create a stylized turntable animation of it with a breakdown for my personal portfolio? I sincerely want to apply at ArtFx, one of the best cg schools in the world which is based in france. Since they recquire a portfolio from applicants I thought to create some hard surface models with good textures and maybe also include some animations to them and do a bit of sculpting too.
Is there any way to invert the zoom in Substance Painter because the default is kinda fucked up... When i scroll forward it zoom out and when i scroll backward it zoom in but it should be reversed so if i scroll forward it will zoom in and backwards zoom out. So is there any way to change that because that is very disturbing. I have checked the keybindings but i could not find it there...
Could you explain to me why would you create a normal layer and add fill on it and then select AO map? Is the same thing if you go ahead and only create fill layer and add AO map and set it up to Multiply? What's the difference except you have more control over opacity? BTW Great tutorial no doubt about that.
Why are we building a high poly model? just to extract the high rez maps? or are we planning to apply the final textures to the high poly model? in that case we would have to unwrap again? Sorry if it is stupid question I am new to this and try to understand how it works
The low-poly models can squeeze in all those low-height details from the high-poly version by baking them onto a normal map which shall be used by the low-poly version, this way it can get the details from the high-poly without requiring all that additional geometry that the high-poly used for creating the details. Pretty much all games do this today and have been doing it for a while now, and shall continue to do so. :)
Hi. Thank you for your work. I wanted to ask about exporting mesh from substance painter. While i am exporting it fails [Mesh Exporter] Failed to export obj mesh file. could not open output .obj file: C:/Users/Керим/Desktop/проект/droid subs.obj how can i solve this?
hi, i have tried as like your tutorial, for the same model, when i import in substance painter the low file divide into two files. where its one in fbx file. which one is exported with max. can you help me in this regard.?
Hello, on minute 20:18 I am trying to get the alpha on inner sphere and nothing is happening, there is no change when I change opacity it doesn't look separated or anything. Any ideas on what the problem is?
I have just finished modelling and texturing my droid, but am now having trouble rendering in Marmoset 3. Does anyone know how to get the transparent layer to render properly? I have added the opacity map exported from Substance Painter into the Transparency slot in Marmoset, and tried all 4 different modes. The result is either no transparency at all, or the entire model goes transparent
Fixed it! For anyone else having similar issues - I set the Transparency to Refraction, turned Index of Refraction down to 1.0, unchecked Use Microsurface and Albedo Tint, and finally checked Use Albedo Alpha and Invert Mask
Hey man, that tutorial was amazing! Thank you very much! I still had a problem to add the rust tho. When I added the MatFx Rust, the Mask was just black, and it did not work at all. I am a full beginner to substance painter, so it might be something easy. Do you have an idea, why it did not work ? Thank you in advance. Please create more tutorials like that. That is some incredible high quality content. You got my Sub for sure
Same problem here. started great and got to this point and the MatFx Rust doesn't seem to work. Anyone running into this issue or found a fix for it? Maybe a different way of doing things since there have been plenty of updates???
@@luisalcala8805 When you make a fill node with MatFX rust as grayscale, at the very bottom under image inputs change base color to white and metalness to 1, or just a high enough number, the higher is metalness input the more rust you'll have.
When i try to bake highpoly to low poly it tells me [Baking] Could not find vertex colors in mesh body_high [Baking] Not enough data in the high poly to use selected baker. Aborting bake.
It's his mistake. You always have to CHECK 'average normals' or the ugly jagged edges will be visible at every corner, giving it away that they aren't actually round. With average normals, your low-poly will show perfectly round edges like the high-poly.
Hello Roman, indeed.. that was sadly a mistake on my end when I did the Ultimate Weapon tutorial. I talked about that in the mech tutorial, sadly once something is released I can't just revert those errors but average normals is definitely what you always want to have checked.
It's not really a big difference but if you zoom in on the UV seams you will see a bit of a visible border :-) The average normal "averages" that out as the name suggests so everything is more smooth.
Hello Vitto, my graphics card is already 2 years by now and even then wasn't the best out there. It's a GeForce GTX 970. Get's the job done until the next upgrade :-)
You need to unwrap in your modeling application prior to exporting, I'd suggest doing your UV and lightmaps (if your putting it in a game engine prior to exporting to substance) before as it won't bake down and you will have massive distorition on the mesh(the UV's are used to determine where each face is located) once you've left your modeling app you won't need to go back to it.
Substance needs Node Graph! Working with layers is a headache. They could just take the code from Designer and integrate it.. So far Mari is superior even for basic materials.
Just came by to say thank you Tim. I just completed the tutorial, learned a lot and had a blast doing it. I'm working on my first game, it will be a Tower Defense. Hoping to be able to create some turrets and levels for it in 3D, going for a style similar to Hearthstone game boards. Anyways, here are my tutorial droids looking awesome: gyazo.com/9092bc8ce0749ee1d6f0a81b582267d3
First of all, thanks for the great tutorial. I haven't used max in a long time so this was perfect for getting me back into. I am having issues with the colour ID map in substance. The id for trim section round the bars is not showing up imageshack.us/i/po0AZUbbj any help would be appreciated.

Thank you! Yeah that's why I also don't have that many tutorials out yet, they just take a good while to produce. But it's fun and more to come in the future!
i hav e been using 3ds max since 2005 and never go deep into unwrapping...I learned much from you...respect...
Best SP tutorial out there excellent work my man....learned so much from this gr8 job!

Another Great tutorial! picked up some new techniques, Was glad to see you went into the inner detail with the alpha channels!
Very nice result!Substance painter is the magic!
very very very very very very good! Thanks Tim!

Thanks very much for this lesson ! it's very well.
I learned a lot from your Tutorials.
Are you planning to do maybe some Rigging, Skinning and animating tutorials?
I'm more hyped than Battlefield 5 trailer!

Tim, why did you have "average normals" checked for the maps baking process? In the akm tutorial you recommend to uncheck it
It's his mistake. You always have to CHECK 'average normals' or the ugly jagged edges will be visible at every corner, giving it away that they aren't actually round. With average normals, your low-poly will show perfectly round edges like the high-poly.

np! I was baking the stuff with average normals unchecked, and everything seemed to be working well :D Being suprised now, how did it work lol
It's not really a big difference but if you zoom in on the UV seams you will see a bit of a visible border :-) The average normal "averages" that out as the name suggests so everything is more smooth.
