Working with Substance Designer in Unity Part 1

In this two part video tutorial, we will take a look at using Allegorithmic Substance Designer 3.1 to create modular texture for a game prop. This video will detail the process of creating a procedural substance texture for use in the Unity 3D Game Engine. The video will cover topics such as creating rust, working with normal maps, creating user editable parameters and a Substance Designer overview.

    As in Monty Python, “And now for something completely different”

    This is super cool. I’ve seen substance designer a number of times. As a hobbyist I can’t really afford 20% off the $590 price of substance designer. I think substance designer is extremely awesome.

    Regardless, thanks for the tutorial!

      Hey Chris,
      If you are a student they also have a student version available which I believe is about $100

        Um, I’m going to be 40 next year. I have kids that are students (as in 2nd and 3rd grade). I wonder if that counts.
