Yeah ... That's Substance Designer. Nodes and stuff. I'd not be able to explain what a node is if my life depended on it.

Using Painter's not hard, though. Seriously: it's good. Give it a spin.

Ciao Massimo. Buona sera.

The Substance thing is great. Given that you're referring to an intimidating UI, I'm assuming you're talking about Substance Designer. That app is indeed a tad frightening, to say the least. I'm not using Designer, though -I'm using Substance Painter. Not nearly as intimidating. Fun, too. Allegorithmic's got really decent free tuts on YouTube.

As far as materials go, I don't actually use full blown Substance mats. I use Painter to, well, paint dirt maps, displacement maps, masks for blending between materials and so forth. Works great.

I'd noticed Arroway has new stuff, yes. That pack looks tempting. But they really should do cardboard. Lots of it.

Felt, eh? Dammit.

Does this look like fibrous cardboard?

It does.

Cardboard, baby!

I'll say. The guy's stuff is nothing short of awesome.

I bought these when they were first released, and I assure you: excellent stuff.

No idea what this is.

Nothing much. Just some shading fun.

Yeah ... Might prove interesting.

I had to. He made me do it. I'll likely do it again.

Hope his porn gland is ok.

Nice work.

I tried it a year or so ago and found it very sluggish to use. Lots of spinning cursor time.

Yeah, I found it somewhat laggy, too. Still, not a bad app. I like Painter better, though. I have been messing with it since this morning, and I must say, it's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good stuff.

Allright.
