Learning Substance Painter 2 (2016) for All Levels!

Import the sci-fi helm into Substance Painter, set the PBR metallic rough workflow, add emissive and opacity channels, bake textures, and fine-tune ambient occlusion for realistic maps.

Learn to texture a helmet frame in substance painter 2 by using smart materials, masks, and UV-based selection to build metal and plastic finishes and manage layer masks.

Compare fill layers with preset conditions, like pure gloss plastic, to smart materials such as steel scratch, and learn to tweak textures with masks, generators, and occlusion.

Texture a sci-fi helm frame using materials, smart materials, mask generators, and particle brushes. Paint masks, refine roughness, and apply steel textures with symmetry and fill layers.

Apply a baseline texture to the mandible jaw in Substance Painter, and use black masks, polygon fill, and UVs to selectively reveal steel scratched and steel gun materials.

Learn to finish the sci-fi helm mandible by adding wiring, applying steel matte and painted textures with masks and generators, and refining roughness and gloss with masking.

Create a temple region texture in Substance Painter 2 by using steel scratch and steel paint materials, black masks, generator masks, and brush-based refinements for a PBR workflow in Unity.

Texture the top helmet using three shaders with custom masks, smart masks, and framed layers, applying brushes to create a fiber-glass looking faceplate with scratches.

Create a hexagon texture on the front plate with black masks and fill layers to control emissive, translucency, and height for a smart material.

Texture a hexagon faceplate in Substance Painter by separating outer and under faceplates, applying a hex smart material with masks and generators, and refining with normal and roughness maps.

Learn to texture a sci-fi helmet faceplate in Substance Painter, using smart materials, masks, and polygon fills to create steel dark aged textures with scratches and emissive details.

Finish texturing the helmet camera in Substance Painter by applying emissive effects, masking with a black generator, adjusting height to normal, and refining UV maps for a gritty sci-fi look.

Texture the eye lens in Substance Painter using an alpha texture on the opacity channel. Adjust UV scale, masks, and roughness for a glossy, translucent lens.

Explore texturing a lens and connector in Substance Painter, using masks, smart materials, and generators to add metal edges, wear, and realistic sheen.

Finish texturing the center piece in substance painter using smart materials, eyeball detail, a base texture, masks, normal and height maps, then export textures for Unity.

Export textures from Substance Painter to Unity using a roughness setup; create and map albedo, metallic, roughness, normal, height, occlusion, and emissive, then apply to a helmet and eye.

Texture 3D models in Substance Painter using Iray, build smart materials from attachment maps, and tune emissive glow, bloom, and shadows with post effects for final renders.

Explore how to use the Iray renderer in Substance Painter to set lighting, adjust samples and time, configure environment and post effects, and export clean renders with transparent backgrounds.

Experiment with Iray viewport settings, including shadows, ambient occlusion, emissive intensity, and post effects, to preview lighting before rendering in Substance Painter, then fine-tune depth of field and aperture.

Tune Substance Painter workflows with Iray viewport, adjust emissive bloom, min/max samples, clear color, then render passes (glare and depth of field on/off) for Photoshop edits.
