Hello,

 

I have searched the Substance 3D Designer form but [perhaps secondary to my less than stellar search skills - and thus if this is a redundant topic post I apologize. ] I have not been able to find a discussion on creating gemstone, diamond, pearl and precious metal materials. Thus, if one [ or more disscussions,; perhaps topic specific, already exists, could you please kindly  direct me as to where this discussion [s] reside. Thank you. Appreciated.

If, if my chance, however, one [ some of these disscussion topics]  do not already exist, then perhaps this is an opportunity to start one [ given interest in thesesmatter].

Thank you,

Andrew

p.s. I have found some pretty applicable already made materials but the goal is to be ale to create one's own materials based on quite exacting and specific ways that the resultant materials would be used.

Hello Andrew,

 

I think it's important to know what rendering software you'll use in the end. Substance 3D Designer generates textures that the rendering engine will read, but it doesn't generate the effect itself. Therefore, depending on what the rendering can or cannot do, it will heavily change the workflow.

 

Let me know.

Hello Cryil,

 

Thank you so much for the information. This is a case  where ignorance would not be bliss. Is there any chance that there is a way to know prior which render engine will work best?  

 

Thank you

 

Andrew
