Course content

1 section • 14 lectures • 1h 27m total length

  • Introduction0:28

    Learn to create bricks from scratch by constructing nodes to generate normal maps, color maps, height maps, and rough mass maps, and craft a convincing brick material for Substance Painter.

  • 001 Overview8:35

    Create bricks in substance designer using a node-based workflow. Build materials with base color, normal map, roughness, metallic, and height, and test them on various shapes.

  • 002 Normals 0111:05

    Construct a brick normal map in Substance Designer by building a tiled brick pattern, applying bevel and slope blur grayscale with Perlin noise to add realistic edge disruption.

  • 003 Normals 02 Facets10:08

    Create brick faceted textures by layering perlin noise and slope blur grayscale, then blend multiple nodes to form a normal map with dark lines and edge disruption.

  • 004 Normals 03 Cracks3:52

    Create realistic brick cracks by combining slope blur grayscale and Perlin noise to disrupt brick edges, adjust scale, and blend layers into the normal map.

  • 005 Normals 04 Damage4:49

    Learn to create damage on brick normals by layering black and white spots, blending modes, and levels to control roughness and cracks, while organizing a clean node graph.

  • 006 Color 018:16

    Learn to control brick and cement colors in substance designer by using uniform color inputs, color vs grayscale, and masks with blending and opacity to define regions.

  • 007 Color 029:38
  • 008 Height6:17

    Push brick geometry outward with the height channel using height maps and displacement, then refine edges and tiling with levels and parallax seclusion settings.

  • 009 Roughness5:16
  • 010 Ambient Occlusion2:13

    Apply ambient occlusion to darken crevices and highlight raised areas by adjusting levels and using intersection and invert to isolate brick and cement regions.

  • 011 Height Variation per Brick5:06

    Develop height variation for bricks by using a tile generator with a two-by-four pattern, random rotation, and depth linked to the height channel to achieve a natural, slanted brick wall.

  • 012 Height Cement7:27

    Adjust the cement texture by tweaking brick spacing, tiling scale, and height with masked disruptions. Blend black-and-white spots and cloud-like overlays to create a realistic, dusty cement look.

  • 013 Exporting to Substance Painter4:06

    Export bricks from Substance Designer, publish selected elements, then import the resource into Substance Painter, adjust scale and UV projection, and save the named graph.
