MATERIAL CREATION WITH SUBSTANCE DESIGNER WITH PETE SEKULA
|
In today's modern digital art pipelines, procedural generation of materials has become the norm. By utilizing Allegorithmic's Substance Designer, an artist can meet the expectation of quality from Triple-A video games, CG films, and product design.
But how do you get from manipulating an image of a black and white checkerboard all the way to a physically-based ancient brick wall material with grout and cracks? In Material Creation with Substance Designer, Peter Sekula will guide you on philosophies and approaches on procedural material creation and how Substance Designer gives you the building blocks to deliver a finished material. |

TESTIMONIALS
Peter has been an great professor, Substance Designer is a complex software to teach and he has made an excellent course. From the basics to advanced use of Substance, thanks to his classes I can say that I have a good understanding of the software and it's possibilities.
- Victor Ruiz
Pete was really great instructor. What I loved about his teaching, is that his lessons plan made us progress really fast. He found perfect balance between the difficulty to make us grow, which requires to work hard and constantly, at the same time not crossing the line where we would be discouraged by the difficulty. This was not the class of babysitting, this was the class where you can achieve a lot and make great progress if you are persistent and work hard. This is what the industry is lack of, as many classes and courses are just some babysitting, explaining the interface for 2 hours and giving you lessons you can find on youtube and complete in 30 min. This one was demanding, but rewarding accordingly.
