I wrote something: www.artstation.com/blogs/hauket...
Implementing Laplacian Texture Blending in Substance Designer. Very niche topic, but it's helpful to have it in your toolbox when creating/combining materials
#Gamedev

I just released a new tool: a "texture browser" for UE5.5 that presents materials as square thumbnails instead of spheres. Like a 90s texture browser. Much better for level designin'. Has favourite searches, quick access to recently-used materials, etc.

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

I just learned that Experience Points made all their #gameart tutorials freely available last year!

So many good environment art and material art tutorials

#SubstanceDesigner Quicktip. For better looking crisp WIP screenshots directly from the viewport go to Camera>Edit Selected and set Use Window Resolution to false. You can then export a screenshot in the specified resolution via Camera>Save Render. #gamedev #gameart #substance3d

One of my fav FREE Substance Designer Node is LT Color Dynamic. Allows for very quick Hue, Saturation, Value color variation.

Time for another reference dump!

This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners.

Enjoy!
