Substance Designer - Discussions - Re: GTX 770 2GB or GTX 760 4GB for Substance Designer
Excellent work!
Hey, I'm keen to enter this one in the MDL contest but I would have thought the whole material would need to be done in MDL using many layers for the different colours facing the view angle with different IOR. That's how I'm trying to approach it anyway, just using a normal map from a substance graph for the geometry. How did you get so far with just a regular PBR shader? You have the orange specular quite accurate and even the "gray rings". How much of that is baked in to the colour map vs utilising metallic texture, etc?I do not think that it is necessary to create many coated materials with different IOR, one translucent material with the Fresnel reflection at sharp angles should be enough. The key to the reflections is the panorama map, which can be created directly in the SD. In addition to the normal map, I also use the height map, which, while distorting the geometry, in PBR mode does not create a light scattering. Therefore, for MDL, you need to create a white matte material coated with another translucent material that reflects light only at sharp angles (f.e. from the translucent template).
Here's the project I found...Thanks for the tip-off. Those experiment on visualization looks pretty convincing.
While I'm not entirely clued up on Designer, I'm assuming this is where MDL graphs come in and you can define the thickness of your material?
Is this something like your reference to the height map Trudyaga? But interjected before the height output?I had in mind something like a switchable mask map for height output, which would affect the distribution of the pattern.
