Thank you! I've been having such a hard time on substance designer for my school and with this, I feel like I can actually "play around" with the work process you made compared to other videos that might be a bit too advanced for me. Thank you so much!
this is a really good class about the organization of nodes, as a beginner i aways get lost with so many nodes, thank you for share you knowledge, I see so many tutorials but you are by far the best teacher
A year ago i watched this tutorial for the first time. I was a Designer noob and everything looked like pure magic. It was a great idea to revisit it now that i have a feeling of what every node does.
One of the best clearly explained tutorials out there for designer. For subs designer, the thinking process actually matters more than the nodes itself. I hope your channel continues to grow. thank you for this guide.
For some reason, Substance software is not working at our uni, so my tutours have not been able to show us how to use any of the software. This has helped me so much as this is the first time I have used Designer at all. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us all!
Thank you so much for a non stupid time lapse video, clear to understand and very informative for beginners who are trying to understand the fundamentals
This is an excellent tutorial! I paid for a few on Udemy, but this is better than half of them. Explanation is clear, a clean organization system and great sound and video quality. Thank you!
Awesome Tutorial, thank you so much! For anyone who has a problem around 32:00 where you connect the Ambient Occlusion Node to Base Color, but it keeps automatically connecting to the Ambient Occlusion Node Output, make sure that your Link Creation Mode is set to Standard, and not set to Compact Mode. If it's at Compact Mode, Substance Designer will automatically assume you want to connect the AO Node to the AO Output.
@@JeremySeiner I appreciate your time! My goal is to get comfortable knowing how SD works. What I’m realizing is that there’s never one way to do something, and 99% of the time the creation process is trial & error, and seeing what works.
this tutorial peeked my interest because my wood game was really weak, but turns out this is the first tutorial that explains every step of the workflow correctly and you explained every node you used very well, good job man. Someone finally competing with the official substance designer tutorial guy
Just a note on the AO step, skip the AO node and plug the output of the Blend directly into the AO output node. This is for the latest release of SD 13.0.2 b6942. Adding the extra AO node causes weird artifacting. and heavy computation. Height control can be achieved by using the Smoothness interpolation in the AO noise and the intensity in the NM node. I added a histogram scan to replace the AO height adjustment. I'm sure there are other nodes that would do the same job but better, I just chose HS because it worked for the time being.
@@marcellinia Sounds like your node setup is in 8 bits per channel. At least your AO and Normal maps need to be in 16 bit or else you'll get artifacts. Go to Base Parameters (right-hand side) and look under Output Format, there should be a button called "Select Method of Inheritance", set it to Absolute and then select 16 Bits per Channel.
@@marcellinia I had this issue as well and looked up a fix. It has to do with the output format under the node. If you have a Blend node that says 8, go to where it says Output Format in the Parameters and change the little blue marker to Absolute, then change the dropdown right under it to 16 bits. Any corresponding nodes should also update to "16' in the number below the node. Hope this helps someone.
Finally! I did your wool tutorial and now I'm back for more. :D I gave up on the Substance by Adobe official tutorials as they are out of date with the current version of the designer. I found myself getting super frustrated and demotivated until I found your channel. thank you, Jeremy. You're my Substance Designer Angel!
This tutorial is brilliant. Minute changes to the original settings creates such wonderful variations. Thank you for this tutorial and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Jeremy - this is one of the best and most professional tutorials I've seen. How did you become so knowledgable with Substance Designer? I am looking forward to more of your videos, and wish you well in growing your channel.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 😊 I guess I’ve done a lot of experimenting with the different nodes trying to recreate different materials. But I’ve also watched a bunch of tutorials from other channels to see how they approach similar situations. Thanks for the kind wishes I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Your workflow with Substance Designer is so graceful and elegant. On top of that, the way you re-iterate why each thing is being done is refreshing and fantastic! Also the intermittent laughter when something turns out better than you thought is always nice to hear :)
Great tutorial, easy to follow, great end result! Only thing, it would be good if it would be more slated, like in both horizontal and veriticle, that way it would look more realistic in environment.
Thank you. I appreciate it Can you please make more like this tutorial for 1- plaster wall 2- metal 3- or anything that you can. I really had fun with this tutorial. Thank you
Hello from Russia! Its great material, thanks for it! You really helped me out to remember what the pipeline to create materials in Substance. (Also i always heard not knots but nuts lmao)
honestly you are lucky, i learned designer 4 years ago, there was a no free tutorial this well made, explaining each nodes and each parameter, i still rememeber slowing down and squinting at timelapse, trying figure out what nodes they were using
I observed that using Warp for wooden knots pattern tends to create pairs of knots next to each other (as can be seen from 6:00) which is not very realistic. I got better results with a Directional Warp with high (50+) intensity.
At 16 minute mark you created mask to isolate knots, so they aren't everyone to make the wood feel more natural. This was a good call. But then by adding the finer detail in 20+ minute mark, all the knots are back. I think it would be better to use different mask for the finer detail.
I don’t know how to get my material in my 3-D viewer to look like yours. In the newest version of substance it starts out with this dark metal cube, and there’s this really common problem where it’s pure black and there’s seemingly no way of fixing that. I managed to get around it by starting over using a default template instead of a blank slate where you start with zero nodes. But that still leaves the problem of being left with a dark metal cube. I added the uniform color to the base color output and that helped a little. But when you start getting into the fine details nodes, it makes it look really ugly really fast. It looks like yours in 2D view, but by no means in 3D view.
Hi there, thanks a lot for your tutorial, I did enjoy it a lot and have the same problem as someone had before. I want it to look like parquet, so having tiles in both ways and shifted patterns in both directions. I found a comment of yours on an earlier comment, but I can't get it yet myself ...
An absolutely fantastic tutorial, my only question is: How can I make it look like the planks are breaking up like on a normal floor? :c I made the Y value 2 in the Tile Sampler, but I'm not sure how to make it random so all the Y's don't line up.
Hi David - If you use a flood fill node to isolate the different floor tiles, you can use a "Flood Fill to Random Gradient" node to give each tile some slightly different height information. You could blend that on to break them up. Also, in the Tile Sampler, you can use the "Offset" parameters under position to make it so they don't line up. Hope this helps!
Great tutorial! I'm exposing some of the parameters so they can be tweaked later. Is there a way to expose the albedo for the gradient that you know of?
Thanks! Good idea exposing those parameters. I’m not quite sure about exposing the gradient, but I did a tutorial about how to grab colors from an image a little while back. Might be a good starting point or spark an idea?
I'm no wood expert by any means, but although the ending mat looks cool, I'm pretty sure some of those patterns would not be possible in real wood. Still, great tutorial.
I’m using a program called PureRef which is free and highly recommended. You can enable “always on top” so that when you click away, it stays above the other windows.
@@JeremySeiner Heh never thought you'd react back, glad you did! There is basically 0 tutorials about such wood, everything is either parquet or normal wood. Never have I seen a burl wood material being made in substance designer, it would be an amazing tutorial.
@@JeremySeiner Sorry to disturb again, but when I try to link ambient occlusion with base color of base material, the connection shown as red dotted lines. How?
@@austinjoseph8849 sounds like you have color data (orange connection) mixing with grayscale data (gray connection). You can convert the grayscale data to color by using a default Gradient Map node. Then plug that Gradient Map node into your blend.
wow someone that actually builds a material from nothing so people can actually learn. 👍🏿

I'm no wood expert by any means, but although the ending mat looks cool, I'm pretty sure some of those patterns would not be possible in real wood. Still, great tutorial.
Is it possible to create this texture without the metalic roughness template?
Yes, but you would need to create your own outputs using the output node and assign them to the proper channels.
How do you bring up the reference image?
I’m using a program called PureRef which is free and highly recommended. You can enable “always on top” so that when you click away, it stays above the other windows.

What's the difference between tile generator and tile sampler?
Great question! They’re very similar, but the tile generator doesn’t have as many inputs as the sampler, and it computes a little faster. 😊
