PDF Breakdown - Creating Ornamental Shapes in Substance Designer

24 ratings

Table of Contents

• Breaking down the reference

• Explaining the nodes I use

• Breakdown of the Substance that I made for the Polycount Substance Challenge(Round Ornaments) https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NmWGg


Note

This breakdown shows the way I created my entry for the substance challenge and will give insight in workflows I’ve used with the challenge in mind. There will be cases that parts can be created in a different/more efficient way. I will not be showing how to make the different materials used(stone, glass and lead) as this is not the focus of this breakdown. This breakdown is suitable for Beginner Level and higher.


Substance Designer Version

The Substance was made in Substance Designer 2017.1.0 Everything you see in this breakdown can be recreated in Substance Designer 6.0 and up. A lower version will not be able to replicate everything in the exact same way due to the use of the Curve node. There are no external nodes used other than the stock nodes of the version noted above.


Option 1 contains: the full PDF "Creating Ornamental Shapes in Substance Designer"

Option 2 contains: the full PDF "Creating Ornamental Shapes in Substance Designer", the final textures I've used and the source .Sbs to tinker around in (Substance Designer 2017.1.0 or newer is required).


You can use any part of the graph in your own projects, both personal and commercial. Direct redistribution of the .Sbs or the material graphs is however not allowed.


Any support is greatly appreciated!
