As a complete beginner in Substance Designer this was so incredibly helpful! I’ve been watching tutorials for the past two days and most of them were just videos of people doing stuff, not really explaining what they were doing. Thank you so much!
You are my next Guru! You helped me to understand how substance designer works and dragged me for learning it. Thank you so much. You explained very well!
I enjoyed this man, a great intro for me getting into substance designer! Hope designer can improve my texturing abilities a lot more! Thanks, all the best!
This tutorial is amazing, thanks so much for making it! I got Substance last week and this tutorial has been a brilliant first step into the nodey world of Substance materials!
This was awesome! This is by far the best substance knit material I've seen yet! You sir have earned a new subscriber! I do a ton of knit, leather, and suede materials for shoes and I'm just now getting into substance designer and painter. I love all the tips and tricks you included like the tiling view in 2D! I look forward to future videos!
@@JeremySeiner awesome, I'd love to see one on leather. Also, working with materials like this in substance painter and making them with editable properties for that workflow. I'm still struggling with how to save out my materials into a library on like drop box or one drive, and setting them up in painter so they just appear in my projects. Thanks again for the great tutorial!
I just recently posted a video about functions and parameters where it goes into making properties editable, however I'm not too sure about getting Painter to reference a folder on dropbox to automatically import the files. Would definitely be worth looking into because that would be an awesome workflow enhancement. I'll let you now if I find anything. Thanks again!
Thank you for this really great tutorial, you explain well and clearly compared to over channel I've seen 😊 That me want to learn Substance Designer more and more after watching this video !
This is a very helpful tutorial. I was playing around with these set of parameters and ended up getting a different fabric that I wanted. Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial, one thing you missed though was enabling height displacement / tessellation in substance viewport - its at 0 by default. You plugged in the height map at 24:03 and the preview is still flat. The entire tutorial you are only previewing the normal map.
You are right Marcus we didn’t visualize any displacement in this tutorial, however like you mentioned it is possible by adding tessellation and adjusting the height scale in the material shader settings for the 3D view. Glad you liked the tutorial!
@@JeremySeiner Already did it! Woking on a realistic Burberry scarf so your tutorial was perfect. Just have to figure out how to make the pattern. Designer is awesome!
@@JeremySeiner Also, what specs does your PC have? I assume you have 32GB+ of ram and a pretty beefy processor? My PC with 16GB ram and an i7 9700k isn’t able to upscale the texture to 8K at all without crashing the program…
@@skade245 I’m using a laptop with 16GB of ram with an i7 processor. GTX1070. 8K is a lot haha so it does take quite some time for my computer to process 8K graphs. Usually I just stick with 4K but I’ve on occasion had to bump it to 8K. It crashes on me sometimes too.
Haha yes! You’re right! Substance Designer is incredible for anyone who would like to make any kind of material from scratch. Highly recommended if you need to make some textures.
Thank you for this tutorial. It has some really good techniques that I didn't know about. That being said, I don't think the final shape resembles the reference image (and wool knit) very much. I'd recommend using Skew Grayscale node right after creating the base shape of strand (and after creating the crease and fur nodes). And then use Tile Generator to create a base column of strands. And then create it into pattern using Transformations and Blend nodes. This way you can get much faithful outcome to the reference. And it's also very easy to control. It feels like yours node tree will be pretty difficult to work with if I wanted to change the basic strand pattern. But that's just my guess, m aybe it's fine. Anyway, thanks a lot!
Thanks for your feedback Petr! I’d also like to recommend you check out the updated version of this tutorial it has a much more accurate shape. Thanks for watching!
So I know PS, AE, some 3D, I like video compositing those are quite advanced programs. But this blew my mind. I used Substance Designer first time now and I knew it can generate textures but damn I feel like primate trying salt for the first time. Thats incredible! Also I used blur on the directional warp so the hairs look smoother xD Success
So glad to hear you like it! Substance Designer blew my mind when I discovered it too. It’s amazing how all of these nodes and tools can come together to create any kind of material. Great idea with the blur on the directional warp! =)
@@JeremySeiner things click instantly cos PS experience but idk what to type into the search bar. Needs time spent. You're great tho. Maybe make a tutorial about using bitmap? and than modifying it
Pretty good, i like it! The only thing that i would do, this is a bit optimization. Some maps will be enough 8 bit per channel instead 16 bit and it makes sense to decrease resolution of the roughness and metallic maps to save some space. But in general this is a great and simple tutorial. Thanks a lot!
Do you have any videos that go into detail about how to set up each node so that it's parameters are editable in substance painter? I've seen a few things here on RUclips, but it's still pretty confusing to me as I am brand new to this program. I think you are probably the best I've come across at explaining in detail everything I need to understand exactly what's happening and why. Thank you so much for this amazing video!
Check out this one. It might be a bit overkill, but you can expose the sliders using the menu to the right of the parameter. Hope this helps! ruclips.net/video/Yu401IzG1ao/видео.html
Please , How can I use reference image window as you preview in minute 2:18 of this video. I need to use reference image on top of graph view and starting work
I'm using an app called PureRef. It's free to download if you google it. It's an amazing reference program and I couldn't recommend it enough. You can choose to have it always on top of all apps, or behave like a normal window. =)
Hey Jeremy, I really enjoyed the process of fabric creation. I just started learning the Substance Designer. It will be really helpful if you suggest some tutorials so that I can learn from the ground up. [Paid ones too]. PS: Just completed the Substance academy's beginners course. 😊✌
Hey! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Glad you did Substance Academy’s course too that’s a great start. I would look at Daniel Thiger’s gumroad page. He has a couple of substance designer fundamentals tutorials that are extremely useful. Hope this helps!
@@JeremySeiner Thanks! for the prompt reply. I have his fundamental course (5 Parts Series), will learn them soon. I am more into archviz style textures like Fabric, wood, wall etc. Can you suggest some tutorials for that too? 😊
Hmmm. One that comes to mind for wood is one of the versions of the intro to substance designer playlists on the official substance RUclips channel. Wesley goes through making added wooden planks and has some good tips on creating that recognizable wood pattern.
Firstly congratulations for the video and explanation. I would like to know if the whole lot of textures explained in the video besides being imported in Substance Painter can be imported and used in Fabric of Marvelous Designer 10 and in the import in the Shader panel in some example base model a sphere or Hair created in Blender 2.9.3.5. I await the answer and I thank you
Thank you! Yes you can export these maps as bitmaps and import them into Marvelous Designer. You can also export an SBSAR file from Substance Designer and import that into Marvelous Designer. You’ll probably need to tile the pattern within Marvelous time get it to work right.
@@JeremySeiner Thanks for the response alias in Marvelous 10 it already comes with an option to import the Fabric SBSAR textures either directly from the Adobe website or Substance App and congratulations on the video
Thak you so much, this is excelent. Can you help me with a problem i have? When I change the width and height parameters to 4k or 8k it loses the shadow gradient, it gets dark, how i fix this?
Great work!!! just a simple question because i'm looking for a correct process to do Scarves 3d with waves details. can i do with Substance Painter or do you have an advice abouto to do correct process 3d from vector pattern to 3d Scarves with fabric wool? thanks so much!!! best wishes from Italy
Thank you Daniela I really appreciate that! 😊 With Substance Designer you can import your vector stitch patterns and create the materials to use in Substance Painter. I’d be happy to help if you’d like. There is an email button in the “about” section of my channel. If you’d like we can try to find a good solution. My guess is that you would import the stitch you made into Substance Designer, make the material in there, and then export that texture to be used in Substance Painter. Hope this helps!
Thank you! Great question. Yes absolutely I would say experimenting is a big part of it. I mainly try to break it down into its simplest shape first and then try to distort it. But I would say trying a bunch of different shapes and nodes helps get a feel for which shapes to make.
Hi Chris, you can totally convert images into a knit pattern using a tile sampler node. We do that as one of the examples in my fabric essentials: wool course but to get you started I’d check out the inputs to the tile sampler and tile sampler color nodes. 😊

I use 3 ds max + Corona Render but when I export fabric base color from Substance Designer, I get simple spotted Color map without AO details. How can I get the diffuse map that I see in SD viewport ( Color Map+ Ambient Occusion) for Corona Renderer?
I would try multiplying the AO map with the diffuse map. You could do that in Corona or even right in SD with a blend node. Whichever works best for you 😊
@@JeremySeiner I tried to use Corona Mix Map (with AO map on top & BaseColor Map on bottom in multiply blending mode) in diffuse slot and now it looks much better

You're the only one who made Substanse's tutorials at a pace that can be followed.
it's possible to make a pattern follow a path? I want to make an embroidery flower with all the stitches following the border of the flower shape
