Substance Painter Golden Tips Tricks Tutorial+Project File — VOL 02

Volume two of the Golden Tips series turns to soft surfaces and to speed. Two of the three sessions are cloth — a shawl and a pair of tactical boots — and the third is a working method rather than a subject: an exploded-model setup that makes a complicated asset far quicker to texture. Each session arrives as its own archive with the Substance Painter project that produced it.

Three sessions and their files

• ✓Texturing a shawl in Substance Painter
• ✓Texturing tactical boots in Substance Painter
• ✓Speeding up a Substance Painter workflow with an exploded model
• ✓A custom smart material, supplied with the workflow session
• ✓Every Substance Painter project (.spp) and Marmoset scene (.tbscene)
• ✓All textures and resource files used on screen
• ✓Sixty extra minutes of Substance Painter tips and tricks

The shawl session is the longest and the most transferable. A scarf from the studio's base mesh collection is textured from flat to finished using fabric patterns, stitch tools and beadwork, and it also covers something few cloth tutorials go near: generating and altering pattern artwork in Midjourney and other AI-assisted tools, then bringing it back into Substance Painter as usable material input.

The workflow session is the one that repays the purchase fastest. Exploding a model — separating its parts in space before texturing — sounds trivial and changes how workable a dense asset is, because masks, projections and bakes stop interfering with one another. The smart material that comes with it is reusable on anything you texture afterwards.

Video is full HD throughout. Since the project files are included, the pack can be used from either end: follow a session from the first fill layer, or open the finished project and read the layer stack backwards to see what was done and in which order. The Marmoset Toolbag scenes ship for the same reason, so the presentation renders are reproducible rather than a matter of guesswork.
