During the texturing process of my project, I came across some struggles when deciding what textures and effects to use for my images. Although limiting, Substance Painter includes more than enough textures in its shelves, some that are versatile and can be used to create effects that it wasn’t initially created for. In some situations however, just simply adapting a preset to fit my model wasn’t enough, so I turned to the platform ‘Subastance Share’
What is Substance Share?
Substance Share is an online, free exchange platform for all Allgorithmic.com account holders. The website contains a library packed with content compatible with substance painter, all uploaded by the community, as well as Allgorithmic, and users can upload, download, rate and comment on other people creations. All assets uploaded to Substance Share are free of charge, and under the Creative Commons “Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International” license they are adaptable for any purpose, even commercially. (Allegorithmic, 2017).
Where did I use it?
When looking through assets on Substance Share, I found many useful items, but didn’t end up using them all. Because I am new to the software, I was unable to successfully upload certain assets, and others just simply weren’t as adaptable as I had hoped, causing me to scrap them and stick to the materials based on Substance Painter. Having said this, the following material found its way onto one of my final images.
In the future, I hoe to explore the world of substance sharer with more detail, and have the option to use some of the amazing content available.
