Substance Designer Study

Generated Textures from Substance
Graph Network for Railcar
After tutorials and experiments with Substance Designer I think I have some idea of how it works. Besides having to bake the normals within Max from a high poly, the AO, diffuse, spec, world normals, and other maps were generated via Substance designer. There was a point I was going to make the leather, rust, and wood graphs by hand but saw that Substance already had graphs that were available and saved me time and pain from doing.

In hindsight I would've done a few things differently but I am eager to move on to another WIP and use Substance for that puppy. This is only Substance 3.7.1 but the ease of consolidating the majority of the texturing process into one program makes using this program for future projects appealing.

Railroad Handcar

Rendered in Keyshot
Took a model from the Fleeting Memory environment and gave it the Keyshot treatment. This particular model will also be the first in a series of forays into Substance Designer; figured go small first to learn the program before applying it to a whole environment.
