Yes and he's improved a lot this year. Something to keep in mind also is that the better your skills become the harder it is to improve. Getting your texturing ability to a 5/10 takes much less than going from 5/10 to 6/10. The better you get the more growth beomes minute and harder to gain.
@@jacrossiter2097 problem with learning 3d art by yourself is that after some point, you dont even know what you should learn/how to improve, most of the tutorials become useless after certain point, they dont teach anything new
@@phillyleotardo4343 I totally agree. I think that this video will not help most people but for those that have the basics but are still struggling to hit AAA quality it will help. It would have helped me greatly when I was learning. If you would like my to go through your work I could probably make some time
1:29:20 This was really mindblowing when you show how detail-oriented these textures are, even for the tempered-steel burnt from real life gun productions This was a really useful format for learning Substance Painter, I hope you do more of this!
Thanks for this. It's embarrassing to admit but I've been doing 3D art for 10 years now and my textures still look like first year hobbyists 😔 I can model just about anything but the texturing process is so hard to wrap my head around, I have no eye for it. This was helpful
18:00 in the environment tab change the Environment Alignment option to Camera, that locks the HDRI to your camera rather than the regular environment so you can see inside things that are too up/down directional for the regular HDRI to light
Yeah, exactly. The UV looks squished on those faces. If it were my asset I would fix that island. A little stretch is fine in some situations but not like this
man, f*ck, i watched all 2 hours of this video, just so you could save the texture production gold off video, during that last final cut haha sad . - .
I dont want to sound ignorant but wasting 10+ hours on perfecting the details of a texture is not worth it in my opinion, especially when you're working with strict deadlines. If the first glance at a model sells the look, that means you're %90 there and most of the time studios don't really care about that last %10 when you have 10 more models to complete in 1 week.
