Animating Injection-Molded Plastics with Substance 3D Designer

We just published an article exploring how the Substance 3D Assets team and Chris Lefteri Design combined 3D and ‘real-world’ expertise to look at injection-molded plastics, and consider how techniques like injecting dyes or adding speckles in the mix can create interesting material effects.

These materials were created with CMF designers in mind—experimenting with parametric materials in this way to show every phase of the material creation process can essentially save a lot of time and resources in terms of iteration and prototyping—but it's a fascinating look overall at how different areas of of material creation can converge (and create some phenomenal visuals, as a plus).
