Natural leather crease substance designer production diagram

Question

This is a scanned grayscale image of leather grain. How can I use Substance Designer to create such realistic and natural creases.

Hello @ping_chen5996,

Thank you for the question.

To be honest, if the resolution is decent enough, I would directly use this scanned image as a base. I would import it in Photoshop, and make it tileable with this good old workflow, but instead of using the Patch tool, I'd use the Generative AI Fill.

I would than import it into Designer, and use it as a Base for the Color/Roughness/Metallic/etc. You'll probably need to edit the grayscale level a little bit though.

Otherwise, you can also go to the Substance 3D Assets library, look for a similar leather material, download the .SBS file and check how it has been built for reference.

Best regards,
