Carlosan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 this material/stamp settings could be stored to be used/shared into another project ? could be a community library of materials ready to use for any1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted November 3, 2014 Contributor Share Posted November 3, 2014 Judging by the screen: that's the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yeah, i suppose the same, but didnt saw a save/load button so "in theory" this settings could be stored in brush presets too ? * this will be a incredible and welcome step forward -and time saver, oc- :-) * any info is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mtakerkart Posted November 3, 2014 Member Share Posted November 3, 2014 Pleaaase Don't go nodal!!!!! It's a nightmare for artist ! Nodal Allegorithmic subtance designer is an authistic tool!!!! Keep your layer-based philisophy !! Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted November 3, 2014 Contributor Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think you misread: Modal, not nodal Big difference (I'm not fond of nodal systems myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted November 3, 2014 Contributor Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Pleaaase Don't go nodal!!!!! It's a nightmare for artist ! Nodal Allegorithmic subtance designer is an authistic tool!!!! Keep your layer-based philisophy !! Thank you very much That's subjective, because I for instance find nodal systems much more intuitive than layer-based (one of the reasons I chose Substance Designer over dDo) and I dream of a node-based Photoshop. But I think you don't have anything to fear, because Andrew has explicitly stated that he won't be doing a node-based PBR system.

Javis Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I like nodal, especially if you're needing to do something that's generally complicated using a layer based system. That said, I like layer based systems as well for their simplicity and quick results. Anyway, it is completely subjective like ajz3d said. BTW azj3d, check out Filter Forge for PS if you haven't already. It's pretty cool (Nodal PS, more or less). Anyway, we're swerving off topic a little. It looks like Andrew has had presets in mind with these as well, so it should be pretty easy to start sharing our materials right out of the gate. I'm really glad I changed the name of materials and materials, because we're getting another materials... Which are actually materials!

Contributor ajz3d Posted November 3, 2014 Contributor Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Several questions to Andrew:1. I don't see roughness channel in the dialog window. Not yet implemented, or is there some other reason for this?2. Slightly off-topic, but will we be able to paint real depth while vertex painting over stamps (formerly known as materials)?3. Will the new PBR system fully support substances (including exposed parameters)?4. I understand that current target of 3D Coat's new PBR is (more or less) WYSIWYG regarding textures when it comes to real-time GPU engines. Can we hope for a future compatibility with CPU based PBR renderers, like Mantra PBR, mental ray or V-Ray and their default energy conserving materials (mantra surface, mia_material_x, etc.)?

I'm really glad I changed the name of materials and materials, because we're getting another materials... Which are actually materials! so no more "stamps"...I think it's really feels like materials now...even if it is just layered multi-channel projection. Its a totally stand alone painting module itself as complete as like zbrush lightspot....can't be called just stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I half agree with you, because stamps are a part of the new material system in an integral way. But that said stamps are also just a component in the new materials, and are still separate in a number of ways, and can also be used by themselves without the new material system.

Contributor artman Posted November 3, 2014 Contributor Share Posted November 3, 2014 and can also be used by themselves without the new material system. it does not seem possible at the moment to use stamps without creating at least one mtl layer....so I don't see how they can be used "by themselves." Anyway, I tried a very early build so I'll see when complete version comes out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I tried a very early build so I'll see when complete version comes out... Indeed, we'll see how it plays out. For the moment how stamps function, is that you can use them to paint with on any layer, not necessarily creating an entirely new layer to paint just for it. When all is complete, yes we'll see how it all functions and revisit in the future the naming convention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not need object space normal map because it uses the volume itself I guess,from the early build I tried It works better than DDO because it is not hindered by Uv shells placement and Uv seams....it is also why it can work in vertex mode without any uvs. What allow the nice even projection you see in examples is cube-mapping mode...its really powerful mode of projection and its not even avaible in Substance Painter projection tool which provide only the usual oldschool 2d projection plane....very hard to do nice seamless texturing using only a plane. Its the rest on the implementation that Im worried about (access to metalness map in external editor,import of metalness map,interaction with clip mask...ect..) Anyway,I guess we'll see soon enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we hope for a future compatibility with CPU based PBR renderers, like Mantra PBR, mental ray or V-Ray and their default energy conserving materials (mantra surface, mia_material_x, etc.)? 1. Gloss used instead of roughness. Gloss and Roughness are generally equivalent (1-x) but making materials via gloss is more natural due to modulation of texture mask over gloss leads to more rough surface but modulation of texture over roughness leads to more shiny surface that is less natural for materials. Of course roughness may be exported. 2. Yes, but not right now probably. 3. We are discussing it with Allegoritmic but now paused discussion for 2 months (to look how all goes) 4. If they accept colored specular + gloss + diffuse then yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Marc Wakefield Posted November 4, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted November 4, 2014 I really can not wait to try this out. When can us regular beta lovers get in on the action? I have been knocking around since 2007 and this is a very exciting addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor BeatKitano Posted November 5, 2014 Contributor Share Posted November 5, 2014 I just hope we can use all that on sculpts and export the maps afterward. Would love to judge the progress of a sculpt with that kind of render. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm curious, if we already have one of these new material layers, and then paint some more normal map details, will there be a live update for the material, or will it need "re-baked"?
