Description

Welcome to the Substance Painter – Rune Sword Course!

This is a beginner level course teaching the basics of Substance Painter to create a AAA quality rune sword, complete with PBR textures (don’t worry, you’ll learn what those are), with emissive glowing runes that shine their magical light in the dark!

You’ll be introduced to Substance Painter and how to get your meshes into the software. This course uses the Rune Sword, modeled in my Blender Sculpting – Rune Sword course, but you’ll be provided with both the high and low poly mesh for this course!

We’ll learn all the basics of Substance Painter, including (but not limited to):

· Importing meshes

· Baking mesh maps

· What the mesh maps do for our materials and how to use them

· Layers

· The Layer Stack and Layer Groups

· Masking

· Adding fill layers and grunge maps

· Using curvature to get Edge Wear and highlights/shadows

· Filters, Modifiers, Post Processing Effects

· Realistic and Stylized techniques

· Hand-painted looks without the need to hand-paint

· Emissive materials and painting layers by hand

· Adjusting bake parameters to get the high-poly details onto the low poly mesh in an efficient manner

· Exporting textures and importing our meshes into Unreal Engine and Unity

· Creating the materials and applying the textures in both game engines

This course assumes you have access to Substance Painter. You can have a subscription or buy the program with a one-time payment through Steam. Students have also obtained student licenses to get a discount, so look into that!

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to professionally texture your meshes to make beautiful game assets! This is a great portfolio piece that you can add to your collection! All skills are explained in depth so you understand everything you’re doing and will be able to recreate these processes with your own models.

Jump in, and let’s create this beautiful Rune Sword together!

Great course, the instructor explains things very well, wastes no time and get into things very quickly. I also enjoyed how short the videos were, that made it easy to follow.

Just Awesome and simple to understand as Stephen is a master at explaining things. Recommended to all who are looking for asset creating courses.

Good little course for absolute beginners in SP. Lovely narrating voice, great explanation on various topics and steps. I didn't like how repetitive and time wasting was when making the same steps (creating layers - filters) for all the three parts of the sword - just copy and paste it.

Awesome course as always, explains everything thoroughly & makes sure that YOU, the student, understand everything that's being done; 10/10, highly recommend buying this!

Very good course if you just want to focus on texturing. The video creator goes at a slow enough pace that if this is your first time with substance you will be fine. Bear in mind there is no modeling of the sword in this tutorial.
