The key is to Alt+click your curvature mask when you're adjusting the curvature values. It gives you a much better visual than just material mode. Hitting M will take you back to material mode to check your adjustments. Thank you for the great tutorial!

Absolutely fantastic explanation of this! I'm not too advanced a user of Substance Painter yet, but having tried to do these effects manually by hand, not knowing how to automate things like paint lifting at the edges, or pinching of edges where something is embossed has been a bit frustrating, so this is invaluable! You rock!

Ive known about anchor points for years but never used them because they confused me, this video actually helped me understand them so much better. Thank you! :)

I use anchor points and histogram scan to drive several layers of fur colours with a single mask. It's also great for adding embossed edges to clothing.

one cool way to use anchor points is to use fill --> bevel a bit --> fill with subtract to create a shadow or ao around whatever the original fill was

This is awesome! Ty for this, been using substance painter for a while and use it every day for work, this will definitely be added into my pipeline! Ty for this, goes to show this field is a never ending learning curve lol

Yoooo, i was studying some Udemy courses for substance painter and i think the teacher completely glossed over anchor points, this is freaking game changing.. Thanks for making this video!

Best explination and examples of anchor points that I've seen. Thanks very much!

Thanks for showing the simplified example...that is a sign of a good teacher!

I was just thinking about a video I watched a while ago and was trying to remember how they got the decals to be effected. This was a great help and easier to follow than the other video.

This is AMAZING! And the way you explained it is very good with good examples

Thank you!

Thank you! Clear and concise! This helped me out so much!

Thanks for the tutorial!

This is very nice. Thank you!

super video thx

Legendary tutorial!

This is mind blowing! Thank you for sharing.

That was so cool!

thanks for the tips

It is awesome, thanks for the video!

Thanks for making this video. Quite a confusing concept for a new user. Nice clear explanation and demonstration

Thanks for that

Fantastic! awesome man, thank you so much!

i have used substance painter for so long and didn't know that this was possible thank a lot!!! Subscribed

This is really good, will use this to make my textures look less flat, ty!

This was extremely helpful for me thanks you

it level up my texturing skills already thanks 😊

thanks mate

you have me subscribed! Thnx brother!

Excellent content and explanation

This is my favorite new channel

Really nice tip! I'll definitely use it witth engraving

yes, when people start doing this extra shit is when they're past the basics and are pushing towards that extra step most people won't take, need more videos showing good examples of things like this hehe. lovely video

ooh the high pass is such a nice trick

hot damn, this is awesome showcase of the function, thx :D

Can you do a texturing video with Quixel Mixer?

Anchor points are great for creating weapon camo fade

I can't believe I didn't know that hahaha Thank you

This was super useful. Thank you for sharing! Is there a "pen tool" or something similar in the software? If so where can I find it?

Hey do you have a tutorial talking about things like ingraving effect ? Thanks

nice

3:00 oh man thats so usefull thanks

hi,amazing video. I was wondering if baking height into normal in marmoset and therefore updating the curvature gives you more control over anchor? Or is it vice versa. Thenk

Really.. this is the best video.Really god promise this is the best video I ever seen for substance or anything. Like god that skin scar is insaane

Siskel and Ebert give this video Two Thumbs Up! 👍👍

Bro, your Painter tutes are friggin' fantastic. Muchos grassy ass.

super cool! how I use it: bake id map, put smart materials, done lol

Thanks for this trick, really usefull but is it possible to get multiple normal details at the same time ? So per exemple, you could duplicate the normal you used, place it somewhere else and still be affected by the curvature modifier. I've tired on my side and the micro details will only take one anchor point. I even tried to give theses multiples normal details the same name assuming they would be regrouped but no they are all unique anchors in the anchor point tab

I can anchor for metal substance

Hey, what are the settings for the curvature? Please share. Does this work with the scratches?

where can we get that kind of model in your thumbnail

3:35 everything changes when you use the slider, how to make it affect only the normal texture?

I have tried looking into anchor points before and gave it an attempt in substance painter, just could not figure it out, perhaps with my next project and this info I will look into it further

Is there also a download for the finished material? Thanks

Hey, I followed the complete tutorial. But it doesn´t work. Make the setup and on the paint layer it - well - paint the color of the layer. But there isn´t any bevel or similarlike in the tutorial....

I've never liked the micro details anchor point requirement. This to me, this is a huge code smell, which I believe points to some bad first principles design. To me, curvature needs to channel expressed in the layer stack (any topological derivative map for that matter). It shouldn't only be defined in the mesh map domain. If that were the case, the generated curvature would be passed up the stack, and could be input generically into generator, filter, etc. HOWEVER, there's some first principles issues there too. Generators assume inputs are only from mesh maps, where one can easily imagine generators which input the mesh map domain, the layer stack domain, or even both. As painter evolves, and topology is defined in both the layer stack and mesh map domain, these first principles no longer scale. The result is micro implementation duplicated across generator compositing graphs, which won't scale well, and creates a lot hoops to jump through in Painter.

Can you import from blender to substance and back to blender?

beginner: beautiful and pristine, pro: ugly and dirty! one has to know! tru facs!

android skin damage. or alien glow through

Nice tutorial, but just because someone makes a smooth surface texture on a mechanical surface doesn't mean they are a beginner. It may be desirable , because he wants to have an elegant effect. Everything doesn't have to be scratched, damaged and dirty.

2024/2 not working

This is really nice. But I'm so tired of weathering being the main selling point of advanced textures. Makes me think making a model look brand new can't be "advanced".

I always wipe my butt completely after a bm

making everything rusty doesn't really mean "Advance"..
