@@GuestOfGregoryHouse very cool. Did you find that the snowman tutorial in the beginning was helpful or was it cheesy. I guess it depends on how well you knew Maya to begin with. You may have skipped that portion of it.

With Udims i rather bake from high poly mesh. Displacement works, if you stay in one software, but, at least for me, always a pain in the ass, if you switch from maya, blender, houdini. It also depends on the render engine, how it handles UC dilations and to avoid smothing and breakups on the UV edges. Maybe they is a good way, but if then, its time consuming and the question is, is it worth the effort.

Thanks for you feedback jan vollgod! I can tell you really know what you are talking about and couldn't agree more. I also feel like displacements in Substance are a little gimmicky anyway

Nice tutorial, this was killing me =) typical allgorithmic hiding options that you have to go hunting for.

Looks awesome. My model kinda lost some details I worked hard for in Zbrush after I retopologised it in 3ds max (I also unwrapped it there). So I couldn't find a solution to bring that detail back aside from displacement map. But for whatever reason, when I do exactly the same thing as in this video, I hit export and then it says all maps were exported, but it says immediately after I hit Export all maps, it says it took like 5 seconds (even though it was immediately) and NO maps were exported at all... Any tips on this issue, plz?

@@davidbittorf I mean, it's just a raw model in Zbrush. No unwrap there (as said, I did it in 3ds). So is it possible that it does not export because there's NO map to export? Since it's just raw model.

Yes. If it doesn’t have uvs in Zbrush it’s not going to produce any maps.

@davidbittorf

Жыл бұрын

You could unwrap in any program including 3dsmax. If it’s unwrapped in max then you need to import back into Zbrush. To do this you will you need the Subtool with all the detail selected at its lowest subdivision level. Then choose import. It will replace your old uvs with the new one and keep your existing detail.

what if i wanted to bake the other maps such as AO and Curvature using the new tessellation that the displacement is giving me. Any chance that's a possibility?

@@davidbittorf I found a sort of work around to it that gives the same result but isn’t exactly the process I thought it would be. It’s actually much simpler lol. I just exported my crazy high poly subdivided mesh directly out of Zbrush and put it into substance and baked my maps using the high poly object, and then threw the textures onto the far lower poly version back in Maya. To my surprise as well, substance was able to handle really high poly objects with relative ease. Earlier today I even tried putting in a mesh from Gaea that was around 33 million poly’s and it worked just fine.

So what is "displ" for if you using height channel?

Not exactly sure. Perhaps if you had an existing displacement map and needed an area to plug it in.

Your tips are really cool, but I had a question, after separating the UDIMS in Substance Painter, how do I continue working in Substance painting all parts of the model at the same time? as if it were a single uv set? thanks for your tips o/

When importing the model make sure that UDIM is checked. That should be all you need to do.

Hello, thanks for your tutorial! I have a question. When I exported dis map, it was red and black. Looks not working in SP. :( Do you know how to make it work or change the map color same as yours?

@davidbittorf

Жыл бұрын

When exporting the dis map make sure “3 channels” is on. This will produce a gray scale map. If “single channel” is checked it will only use the red channel producing a red map like yours.

@@uyleetu1111 the physical size of your model may make a difference. Try scaling your model and create a new displacement. This may give a different result. Making displacements work in substance is kinda of hack anyway. Don’t worry if you can’t get it perfect since it’s not super beneficial anyway.

For some reason it doesn't work. I repeated everything step by step, making sure that the texture is not empty. Maybe it's because of the newer version. And why use the height channel when it would be more logical to use the displacement channel?

Substance Painter is not a dedicated render engine. So I agree it’s almost pointless in Substance. It’s cool that you can see it but it’s kinda a hack. Any dedicated render engine will do a better job. I’m assuming since Marmoset is a real time render it won’t support disp maps. They way around this is to give the model more subdivisions but if you do this you may as well import the high resolution model from the start
