This course will show you how to change Substance Painter parameters to set up and visualise PBR glass materials within the software. You will also be taught how to set up a basic PBR glass with extra detail for high definition rendering. Tips and tricks that I will teach you as part of this course will include showing you how to avoid the UV seam visibility within your models. We will also be looking at how to add depth to an otherwise flat material. This is one of the many ways of making a smart material – a material that can be changed and controlled based on the parameters you set, in a controlled fashion. We will be creating our own smart masks, such as by using ambient occlusion texture maps to create a custom dirt material. I will show you how to apply this dirt material into cavities of a mesh to give it is a worn appearance. Using curvature maps, we will edge wear onto the material, giving the material the subtle detail of worn glass. I will teach you how to use position texture maps to create gradient based dust layers, which we will let settle on top of our object. This course will also include principles of time management and organisation, where I will show you how to properly save our created materials as smart materials for later use in other projects. After completing this course, you will come away with knowledge about how to create custom glass meshes and how to bake their textures onto the mesh to make them suitable for renders and in-game use.A final exciting feature of this course will be working on smart materials in such a way as to make specific, object based-changes across different projects – so that you can continuously adapt and develop over-time.
