Looking for tutorials/advice on how to do sequins and pearls in Substance Designer

[silviab24635235]

Hello!
I watched the video "Introduction to Path Nodes in Substance Designer". There are effects shown with sequins and pearls. Can someone please point me to tutorials on how to do different types of sequins and pearls? I was so excited to see the cover photo of the video, but then there was no explanation of how to achieve those materials in the video.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi, the best advice I can give you is to check out Louise Melin's work on ArtStation, she posts artwork in this category and is best-in-class when it comes to breakdowns. Definitely look into her posts, and I will let her know about this question as well so maybe she can give some input. 

Link to one of her posts with breakdown: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8w4ARG

My second tip would be Pauline Boiteux, she's also amazing when it comes to this type of work. She has some tutorials available.  https://www.artstation.com/jappluz

Hey Silvia!

I'm glad you like this material, it's one of my favorite too 😄 If you want I can send you the graph, I'll try to clean it up a bit so that you can understand the workflow 🙂

If you could do that, that would be fantastic. I took advantage of this year's Black Friday offer and subscribed to the Substance 3D suite. I also bought a variety of different tutorials and courses and have worked my way through quite some material so far. I already have a basic understanding of the processes and different nodes and would be able to read the graph and benefit from learning the structure. Thank you so much for the offer.
