This section will teach you how to use Alchemist. It will also show you how to take your materials from Alchemist into Substance Painter, and consequently exported into Unity.*******************************************WHATYOUAREGOINGTODO IN SUBSTANCE PAINTER:
Creating textures for video games is an art form in its own right. Simply pulling assets from an online store, and dropping them into an off the shelf game engine isn't enough in today's competitive industry. You need fundamental art skills, and if you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to create your own art, and present your skills to potential clients / employers.
With 30 years of game development experience in art and design, I will show you how to create your own game ready textures from scratch. You will begin with the basics within Substance Painter, and move onto texturing a stunning 3D game environment presented in Unity. I WILL SUPPLY ALL THE MODELS for the course to remove any anxiety of modelling the assets first so you can focus solely on texture creation. You WILL NOT be using library assets.
DESIGN/ STORY / EMOTION:
Creating video game art is at the heart of this course, but creating visuals is not just about the art, it's also about the ideas and the design that spawn the art. The story you can tell through visual interpretation and the emotion your scene can invoke through textures and lighting, is also key to creating a successful scene. I will show you techniques on how you can convey this in your texture work, lighting and your scene layout.
THE TECHNICALSTUFF:
We'll create PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures in Substance Painter, and drop them into Unity where we'll build the scene using the textures you have created. I will then take you through lighting in Unity and give you thorough understanding of how it works and how to set it up, and show you how to create stunning portfolio shots from within Unity and Substance Painter.
This course is perfect for anybody seriously wishing to pursue a career as a texture / environment artist in the games industry and would like to follow the process of texturing an entire scene with varying materials and techniques.
It's suitable for beginners to Intermediate levels. The more advanced artists may find that you're going over old ground in some areas, but it can still be a worthy refresher course. Over time, the course will get regular updates and keep on trend with industry techniques and standards. New content will also be added in the future.
This IS NOT a modelling or character animation course. These are very specific disciplines within the games industry, and here we are primarily focusing on highly detailed, texture creation for environments.
Who this course is for:
If you're interested in becoming a texturing Ninja in the video games industry while using all the latest industry standard tools and techniques, then this course is for you.

I have worked for some of the top gamecompanies like Ocean Software, Virgin Interactive Entertainment and Westwood Studios, and I've worked on many high profile products such as 'The Lion King' and 'Pinocchio' for Disney, Vita Pets and EyePet for Sony among many others. My current studio also worked on some key titles like 'Little Big Planet' and 'Motorstorm' for Sony, to name a few.

Good knowledge of the subject. Well spoken and well presented. Gives a good example of how workflow is not linear and you constantly go back and forth, which I think is crucial for newbies to know early on.

By Eric Cowan on 10/27/2020

This is a very good course, very professional!

By Sam Fender on 9/14/2020

Awesome course so far. Very clear to understand and well structured.

By Elliott Kimmel on 9/3/2020

Love it!

By Ada Radius on 8/21/2020

Good match for me - I know just enough about albedo vs diffuse, normal, specular etc. maps to be able to keep up. This is much better than the SP tuts that Algorithm provides, for breaking down what this software does. I didn't like the choice of subject - it's a trigger for PTSD sufferers. A Victorian nursery table might have worked better - milk instead of blood, and the damage dealt by out-of-control children, rather than torturers and murderers.

So much talking and so little teaching it was easier to blow thru the material at https://academy.substance3d.com/.
Going on a 10 - 15 minute spiel about menus and options and then follow it up with a but that's not important yet. If its not important don't introduce the concept until its relevant.

By Valera Zakharenko on 6/7/2020

Kevin is an excellent instructor, great personality, very engaging. The repetition of each part in this course makes going through each lesson much easier. The extra Substance Designer Section is a great and I was amazed that it was included within this course and the depth Kevin went into it. If Kevin makes a Substance Designer course you can bet I'm enrolling. Would recommend this to anyone looking to learn Substance Painter, or get introduced to Designer and Alchemist.

By Bryan Christensen on 6/4/2020

This course has been well thought out and very well delivered. As is warned in the opening lectures, there are times where things can slow a little or get repetitive - but that's more often than not just a good sign you're learning the content and theory. I listen to this at 1.75x speed.

By Lilyfighting on 5/27/2020

The most valuable course of Substance Painter, it shows the whole workflow of how to create a good textured scene for your portfolio. Highly detailed.
Kevin is a nice instructor and creative artist, skilled and experienced on the environment art. I'm his big fan!
Recommend all of his courses!

By Lukas van Rooij on 5/24/2020

Very useful course, sometimes I feel it is a bit slow, however I tend to put the speed to 1.25x and that works pretty well.

By Monika Salter on 5/20/2020

Best $12 I've ever spend on a set of tutorials. Very detailed, updated to include the latest tool and program set, and all assets provided.

By Ivan Kostin on 5/19/2020

I can't estimate the material of the course right now, but must say, that speaker has a very bad manner of speech and poor elocution. It is really hard to listen this and if I can I would refund this. May be later I will change my opinion.
