Substance Designer 4

Hey guys,

Alright, I decided to make another change. I talked to Frank and I'm moving on from my original plan and will transition into learning Substance Designer 4 and Substance Painter. There are a few reasons for this: I think learning these new programs are a more valuable use of my time. Instead of texturing my items with Photoshop and moving on with the go-cart, I'll use that time to learn these programs. I will then use these programs to texture my two video game assets. The other reason I am moving on is I am getting bored with the workflow that I am doing currently. I am doing the same exact thing in another class and it's just not what I want to do for a portfolio class. Plus, I feel like being able to texture these items with Substance Designer will only enhance my portfolio and allow me to add another valuable heading to my demo reel and portfolio.

Alright, so my new plan is to learn these two new programs. I still want to do an interior scene with vray (another 'program' that I'd like to learn) so as of now, I'd like to continue with that. I'll see how Substance Designer and Paint go. I may get into it and decide to press forward.

I've purchased a copy of Substance Desinger Paint out of the Steam beta and will start playing with it. This past week I've watched a ton of youtube tutorials on the programs. With the release of Painter on Thursday, some tutorials are starting to trickle out as well.

Frank told me about this program on Tuesday, and since then, I have watched more than 10 hours easily.

Here is a list of a few that I've watched:

I also downloaded a few hour tutorial off of the internet that talked about texturing a barrel in Substance Designer and Unity. I've put my time into learning this program because I am genuinely excited to learn it.

Now that I have Painter, I'll be playing with that over the weekend. I'll try to get something at least started for the presentations on Tuesday.
