Yes! That Playlist got me motivated to try Substance Designer again and it was the last kick I needed to get hooked.

at first I thought someone had dropped their sandwich into water or something and fixed it with just two more layers of dry bread 😂
btw. does anyone know why bluesky keeps showing me replies but almost never the initial posts?

I'm so glad I opened the post to see the picture.
That sounded WAY worse than it looks :D

thank you!
It's mostly just a few different noise maps layered ontop of each other in different intensities in substance designer.
in the end I use a high frequency noise to cut in the noisy normals.
also some very low roughness dots sprinkled over it for the stylized glitter effect

thank you so much :)
next step: variation (footsteps, little stones, etc.)

Can't wait to see the final version. Have you tracked the hours already spent on it?

I love the shading. It really looks like a painting!

It's crazy right? I'm so happy I tried out unreal a while ago. Didn't expect the transition to be as smooth but I guess I'm more of a node shuffler than a coder haha.
It feels like Twitter 2.0. "How do we alienate our users as much as we can "

Thank you so much. It was one of the first models I was really proud of as well 🙂 the original character belongs to MahuruRaji (not sure if they are on here). My sculpt was part of last years artfight and so much fun to work on!
