my thoughts exactly

I’ll bet they’re already working on pavers and cobblestones. It probably won’t even take them another thousand man-hours to do it either.

Your comment sounds like something Cave Johnson would say.

@@DeusExRequiem this is the best comment i have seen in a while

Please don't be angry about this.

look its blenderguru. I swear hes gonna make a whole new 3d program just cause he can and wants too.

yep,

Same here... I am not even watching 3D modding or close...

Even when something isn’t an ad, you complain about the recommendation system. This whole recommendation thing is annoying to hear every time.

This is not an ad in disguise. This _is_ an ad. Or did I get you or something else wrong? 🙂

But only for bricks.

You have the coolest channel man!

Thanks, and you too man! Love your lazy tutorial series :)

As are you.

@@poliigonofficial yo

Apologies for the confusion. It wasn't our intention to pretend these generators are free, only that *Substance Player* is free. Our generators do indeed cost credits. Sorry. We'll be more clear in the future.

He never said the generators are free, he only mentioned that "Substance player" is free to download, if i m wrong reply with a time mark where he said those generators are for free dummy head :)

You guys really need to understand that Substance Player and Poliigon generators are not the same thing. Substance Player is free. It's not difficult to understand.

Alternatively, you can use python, which IS free and learn how to roll your own procedural textures. Some experimentation will be required.

ah damn, poorly aged: adobe has taken over, and they're taxing the once free program

Its called houdini

@@hund4440 Procedural? Yes. But I'm not sure if it's possible to model a human character procedurally in Houdini. From what it seems currently at the moment, in my opinion, Houdini procedural modelling tools looks powerful BUT extremely complex, as if it's meant only for hardworking geniuses. :O

@@MultiMirs for nerds

As someone who loves 3d modeling but dreads texturing, this looks really attractive

procedurally there are things like Makehuman and other small programs doing that.

That's one of my biggest issues with Blender Guru. He portrays stuff as "free, just make an account, or just do this, yata yata" when it really isn't like he says it is. Like in his famous donut tutorial Blender series, he says that Poliigon is a great place and all that. But a free subscriber gets access to very few textures and even fewer downloads. I don't mind the download count since I get that he needs to run a business, and has server costs, but last I recall, he doesn't even say/show that you'd need to pay to download anything from the massive library, and there's a few that you don't need to pay for. And even for that "Blender 2.79 hotkey cheatsheet" that he mentioned (and only said "if you want it, just go to the link in the description to get it"), you had to subscribe to his email newsletter to even get the privilege to download it. It's free but through an unnecessary hoop IMO. This software is free to download and open I'm sure, so he can say it's "free". He's a great teacher, and artist, but I don't think he's a great businessman, since he's choosing to lead many many people on, on a way-to-tell-the-truth-that-will-make-people-think-it's-something-that-it's-not. I don't have a problem with his business practices though, as far as I know. But the way he advertises stuff and how it actually is, really just makes me only trust anything he's advertising as something "really easy/simple to get" if he's not in any way affiliated with them. Which I know he's affiliated with Poliigon, so I highly doubted "a lot of people don't know this software is free", so thank you for letting us commenters know.

lmao, why blender users are obsessed with free?, I agree though.

@@DanielGarcia-ys7kj Well, because Blender is free?

@@DanielGarcia-ys7kj because for a lot of people who use free software, they don't have a lot of money to spend in the first place.

Apologies. It wasn't our intention to pretend these generators are free, only that *Substance Player* is free. We only included this line because in our researching, we discovered that many users didn't know you could use Substance files for free. So we made sure to spell that out. SP is free and runs any .SBSAR file. Our generators are indeed 100 credits each, but honestly, that's a bargain. The Modern Brick generator is capable of creating at least 500 unique materials, which at a traditional asset cost is 5,000 credits... yet it only costs 100. Once you try it, we're confident you'll see how much of a steal it is.

I completely agree with you, 100 credits a bit much for them.

While it’s true that Substance Source is vastly cheaper, we’re confident that once you use these, you’ll understand why they’re more expensive. A typical substance source file is usually quite limited in what it can create, with about 5-20 unique materials. Whereas this Modern Brick Generator produces around 800 unique materials. We do love Substance, but their Source library has a different goal than ours.

@@poliigonofficial At this price this is a scam.

M Tieleman Hi. Please respect the efforts we’re making to resolve this with you via email. For everyone else reading this, the product he is talking about has been taken offline for over two years, but all students were given an archive of the files to keep. Mr Tieleman seems to be missing some files, but we aren’t sure which ones. We’re resolving it with him via email, and are disappointed he is leaving public comments like this that imply we’ve left him out to dry.

@@blenderguru So your respectable efforts have taken several procedural years? The twenty-three likes on his comment give me the idea that you and "car salesman" here: have done this sort of thing before. Clearly the man is not happy about your "customer care" if he resorted here. Give him a refund or give him what was factually listed.

I saw that one too lmao

@@LeeTwentyThree it was a joke

@@LeeTwentyThree bruh

lmao this lee23 guy deleted what he said

DJ L3G3ND what he said

@@TracksJason ?

Even older: Perlin Noise, one of the first algorithms used for texture creation, was created in 1983.

True. We also used procedural textures 15 years ago, but they've only ever been useful for masking, or simple color variations. What's new is that they're finally becoming a viable alternative to photo textures.

@@poliigonofficial Aaaand i would even argue that point, as you *could* get even the old ones to do that. I've seen artists do amazing stuff with the simplest nodes some 10-20 years ago (I am old). But this is becoming very nitpicky now, so i'll stop here and agree that Substance made it much more workable. :D

Bronzekoala I should have said relatively new in popularity :P They’ve been around forever, mostly to assist masking and simple textures, but only recently used for full material creation.

Yeah I was gonna say, we had this stuff in 3ds Max when I was learning it in school back in 1998

Bronzekoala well, it’s relatively new on the scale of the universe.

@@emberd-l795 True :D My bad, I thought we were using the history of computergraphics as reference system.

@@poliigonofficial exactly! full procedural materials is a long way from simple procedural noise! This is new tech.

this is the most accurate comment of this video !

You left out the part where he actually said 'relatively new'. Let's see how you do when you have to make bricks without a straw man (lol, little Exodus joke there).

@@NR-rv8rz "relatively new" vs "the oldest" is still worlds apart. I've got a procedural texture book from 1994 in my shelf. In the world of computer graphics that's infinitely far away from "relatively new". Perlin Noise, which has been one of the most important innovations in procedural textures, was invented in 1983. However you turn this and however useful the thing may be for people working with brick textures, the video is spreading a bit of nonsense here.

@@MrKohlenstoff Fair enough :)

Procedural texture *noise* & entirely procedural *materials* are also worlds apart! These procedural materials have the ability to change colour, specular, height, transmissions etc etc that is coming a long way from a simple perlin noise...

how does one do that?

@@elpechero4567 Your welcome!

Probably yes, if they create a generator for it.

No, its just bricks.

While we've started with Bricks you can expect to see many more of these generators in the future covering a variety of material types. - Bill @ Poliigon

@@poliigondocumentation3584 thanks

@@poliigondocumentation3584 please do wood, all the basic materials would be amazing. i subbed to poliigon before cause its amazingly cheap for the quality and this would seal the deal for me

I saw the first few seconds of the vid and saw the text so I thought it would be about texting

That's an amazing idea. I can't wait until someone makes software like that.

Hey guys, it happened!

Damn, I haven't heard of kkrieger in a long ass time, that thing is really small.

What would be your reference classes to learn procedural texturing ...

@@samduss4193 Also Quixel Mixer is good software and a bit more texture/photobashing based. I haven't used it much recently but it looks really good and probably has a bit less of a learning curve.

Darn. Guess its not like quixel mixer where all textures can be done.

They would be hereos if there materials where free they looks so good. I would love to subscribe for it when I would get unlimited Material not just credits.

@@18Jeykey nott unlimited . Atlease some amount of materials for this amount is better. Like pay all money and wait for a year to get you quata .. is more than a rendering harassment. Render may take day or two. Here for texture which you payed already but you won't get for a year. Do wee have 1000 years to live ?

Then go for something less if your team isn't the size of the business model. If it is and it's still expensive, then you're either cheating yourselves by dropping the price of your services too low or you're not up to par with other firms. I personally find it fairly priced. If it was cheaper, they would be screwing themselves over and if it was more expensive, they would be arrogant. But they're on a nice middle point and if that's too expensive for you, then you're either paying for a version you don't need or you're not making enough money as a business. If it's the latter, you need to locate the problem in your business and fix it. Otherwise you're doomed to get more problems in the future.

@@Arterexius Why do you guys get so mad about this topic? It's like a cult.

@@brightgarinson3099 I'm warning you. You don't want to know what happens to the non-believers.

😊 👍

It's actually quite useful, even for wood planks materials lol.

No. It's called bhrcks

@@ThomasBreaker Yeah we can use it for more than bricks. The only problem (wich is a logic one) is that there are so many nodes in it that it slows down the computer quite easily if you go a bit too far, and it creates this pink material in eevee meaning that there are too many nodes

While we've started with Bricks you can expect to see many more of these generators in the future covering a variety of material types. - Bill @ Poliigon

The current of texturing is procedural. All major studios use it.

They said that in the video.

I noticed this as well, you can buy credits separately in the pricing section I think, just look around the page, should be there

He said it doesnt require a substance designer subscription

His "No subscribtion required" was referring to the substance lineup, where the only Thing you can use without paying for it is substance player. You will always need to have credits/subscribtion for poliigon to download any of their products.

@@pepperino420 this sucks. blender is a free open source program but i feel like i can't do anything without paying hundrets of dollars

@@FoxBoi69 There is always a way of doing things without paying for it but they often require more time and effort to complete. So its either paying for models, textures, etc. or putting in the time needed to safe those dollars. In the 3D industry time is more valuable than money is thats why most things (especially the good ones) are pretty expensive

The beauty is: you can do all this in Blender already.

@@ThiloAdamitz That's news to me! How?!

Blender users are deluded

@@nginroom8108 While non-Blender users are uninformed.

@@magni319 trust me, I use Blender, but it appears most blender users for now are new to 3d or are hobbyists. If you think the procedural texturing system in blender is anything near what Substance offers, you are deluded
