Hello, I would like to create an image like that:

So I would like to create an image of a sphere with potato material. The lighting and the material should in principle look exactly like the example image, but I would like to have several variations of it, for which it would be enough to rotate the sphere. To achieve that, I installed Adobe Substance 3D Stager and downloaded this potato material.

I have simply tried it like that:

Unfortunately, the result looks like this:

Can anyone help me make it look like the example? I would be super thankful!

Hi @cornflower12!

It looks like lowering the potato material's scattering intensity will fix the issue you are encountering.

Please go to material property and play with custom properties. Here what I get in preview mode. Also find correct or desired lighting for you.

Hi @cornflower12,

If you don't wish to set up your own scene, Substance 3D Stager has a sample that is made for this type of case.

File > Open Sample > Material Showcase.

You'll only have to drag and drop your material.

Best regards,

Hi, thank you!

I opened Material showcase, downloaded the potato material as potato_skin.sbsar file, and dropped it on the sphere:

I'm using a M2 MacBook Pro, rendering takes a lot of time, I just took Draft as render setting as preview. This is the result:

I feel like there is still a big difference to that:

Did I do something in a wrong way?

You should try scaling down the material, you have it set to 100%, in doing so, it is stretching out the applied potato graphic.

Thank you. But then the light and the materiality still doesn't look like in the example.

In what stage you made capture? In Render preview or after Final Render?
