Substance painter as a specialist tool is fantastic for creating materials and textures. Unfortunately for us Blender users, Substance painter is a better tool in my opinion. It's one of the industry standards when it comes to texturing for games and films along with programmes such as Mari.

Is Substance Painter dead? Or does Quixel Mixer still have some room to grow?

When learning how to become a texture artist, the learning curve one must climb isn’t always the easiest. As a rule, 3D Software isn’t particularly intuitive, and there are a lot of concepts that any normal person simply would have no reason to know about. If you’re just starting out, even knowing which software to use can be a bit of a puzzle. Texturing software—the topic of today’s video—is no exception, and each software package comes with its strengths, weaknesses, and price points.

The two most well-known pieces of software for this purpose are Substance Painter and Quixel Mixer. If you’ve never used texturing software before, what makes it unique from simply painting on the model directly, is the ability to use procedural effects based on the shape of the mesh you’re working on.

Before we get into the video,
For the beginner, the first step in the process is what we call baking the maps for the low-resolution mesh. Basically what this means is we use a piece of software (a baker) to create a series of images—or maps—that capture specific details from the high-resolution mesh. These maps can be the object’s thickness in certain places, its curvature or its surface normals. A normal map is complex enough that it could be its own video, but for the sake of brevity, it basically allows us to fake the lighting to give our objects the illusion of depth.

Another reason these maps are important is they enable procedural masking. A mask is basically a black and white image that dictates whether or not the masked layer is visible or not, and when a mask is procedurally generated, this means it has been created by the application rather than painted being by hand. This is why the baked maps are important—they serve as the input for the procedurally generated masks, and without the maps, the masks won’t work.

Long story short, the baker creates the maps that are used to generate the masks.
This idea of texturing an object without painting it completely by hand is called Procedural Texturing and it is one of the central pillars of any modern texturing process. If you’re like me and can barely keep between the lines of a coloring book, it’s a great way to get really nice looking results while never putting pen to tablet.

Both Substance Painter and Quixel Mixer rely on this extensively, so let's take a look at what the workflow with each piece of software might look like.

ArmorPaint is an open source PBR workflow based texturing package built on top of the Armory3D game engine (and thus Blender). In this video we go hands-on with ArmorPaint, to help you decide if ArmorPaint is a good fit for you. Is it a viable alternative to Substance Painter at a fraction of the cost? We will see.

If you want to build ArmorPaint yourself be sure to check out our guide available here:

With the announcement of #Adobe acquiring #allegorithmic, the internet has busted out with rage and mixed reaction about what it will potentially cost indie and freelance artist if for some reason the development is halted and also if the existing licences will eventually be cancelled.

In today's video we find and review a web tool called #paintcube that may probably replace substance painter, if it is finally released

3DCoat Textura is on its way, and it's a brand-new version of 3D coat that's designed specifically for 3D painting, texturing, and rendering. It's intended for people who use other applications to generate 3D models but want a dedicated tool for painting and texturing.
