Class
This week in class we were tasked to watch 3 videos about Substance Painter. The first video talked about the basics of the software and how to apply colours and textures to a model. We were told to experiment by adding textures and colours to the model, this was a very fun task to complete as we got to be creative with the textures and effects. This is what I created.
Overall, I have a better understanding of how to paint in Substance Painter and I like how the little character turned out. I tried to use most of the different effects so I would have an idea of how they look and how I could use them on my other work.
The next video explained how to export the UV maps and change the files to FBX files. It also showed how to import the model into Substance Painter, use bake maps and how to add textures. The third video talked about how to export the textures from Substance Painter, import them into Maya to preview them and how to upload a model and its textures to SketchFab. These videos where very helpful in explaining the process of exporting models and texture between the two different software.
Homework
For homework we were tasked with continuing to work on Assessment 1. This week I was able to finish the modeling and the UV unwrapping. Next week I will start on texturing the model.
