“Use practical know-how, special course sample files, and powerful assets I created to create detailed textures and materials.”
Know-How to Use Substance Designer to Ensure Both Work Efficiency and Quality
When creating works with random textures, such as game backgrounds, castle walls, lawns, and stone floors, it is difficult to produce high-quality work using only the default textures provided by Substance Painter.
Functions and operating principles of various nodes, understanding and utilizing procedural methods, creating various types of textures, and even new workflows.
Learn Substance Designer, a powerful tool that anyone working in the 3D graphics field should know, and freely customize it to create as many textures as you can imagine.
Additionally, if you use the specially provided lecture sample files and assets created by the speaker, you will be able to dramatically improve the tool experience and produce faster, higher-quality results.

Why Take This Class?
This class will not simply help you memorize the theory of using the Substance Designer tool, but will help you fully understand it and develop the ability to actively select the nodes needed for a specific situation.
Students will be able to gradually increase their skills by repeating theory and practice through a two-stage curriculum that involves learning the basics of using a new node and then producing materials using the node.
Create the colorful textures and materials you imagine with the essential theories and procedural production methods provided by Substance Designer through a total of 32 step-by-step curriculums.

Speaker introduction
Technical Artist
Juyeong Yi
Hello. My name is Juyeong Yi and I am working as a freelancer.
Although I have never introduced myself as a TA, people around me call me that. However, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as an Art Programming Programmer.
Since I first entered the industry as a Substance expert around Christmas 2019, I have been steadily contributing to the Substance ecosystem. It's only been a short time, a little over two years, but I've been able to stand where I am today based solely on my skills.
I received help when I first started working as a Substance Designer, but since then I have been self-taught, so I know how difficult it is to study on your own. Now, I created this course to return the help I received back then 10-fold, 100-fold.
Discover the convenience and power of procedural asset creation with Substance Designer.

Class Highlights
Learn How to Create Procedural Assets
By creating textures and materials using procedural asset creation, you can dramatically reduce work time and produce higher quality results.
Solid Curriculum for Beginners
Even beginners who are studying Substance Designer for the first time can easily study the theory and practice step by step, from the most basic theory and nodes to the steps of creating complex and colorful textures.
Ability to Select Appropriate Nodes to Achieve Desired Results
Rather than learning the functions of various nodes abstractly, you can develop the ability to directly select and use the necessary nodes by understanding their exact functions.
Class Details
You'll Learn
-
A PBR and Substance Designer That Even Beginners Can UnderstandWe will provide a clear, step-by-step explanation so that you can understand the principles of implementing graphics with nodes even if you only know the four basic operations. We will also learn basic knowledge commonly used in CG, such as the principles of PBR. -
Create over 14 Textures and MaterialsBy learning various nodes and techniques and creating various textures that can optimally utilize them, you will learn to master the nodes and techniques clearly. -
Know-How to Increase Efficiency and Quality at the Same TimeBy using dozens of new nodes not found in the basic Substance Designer, we will work to achieve the same task faster, with higher quality in the same time, and with more diverse results with the same effort.
-
How to Take Full Advantage of Procedural Asset CreationGoing beyond simply creating textures, we will create a variety of textures by taking full advantage of the advantages of creating assets in an efficient and freely customizable procedural way. -
Curriculum That Combines Theory and PracticeThis class consists of a two-step structure in which you learn the basic use of a new node and then directly produce materials using it. To make sure you don't forget what you've learned, use all the skills you've previously learned to create a higher level of difficulty. -
Final Practice in Producing High-Quality MaterialsUltimately, you will learn how to work with complex yet very high-quality materials by creating high-level materials using both built-in nodes, additional nodes, and various techniques.

Interview with
Technical Artist Juyeong Yi
Question.01
What is the marketability and outlook for Substance Designer?
What is the marketability and outlook for Substance Designer?
The prospects for procedural asset creation tools are getting brighter. I think the biggest reason is the ever-increasing workload of artists. Procedural work has the advantage of allowing part of the overall work process to be noded and used for the next task . Thanks to this, we can work quickly and efficiently and produce high-quality results . Being able to create your own nodes can be your weapon.
Question.02
What is the unique point of this course?
What is the unique point of this course?
In this lecture, all related background knowledge is explained before using a specific node, so you can learn how to use various nodes more efficiently and in a variety of ways. In addition, we plan to provide dozens of nodes and node systems that can dramatically improve the Substance designer's work process, and encourage students to directly analyze and study Substance files that can be downloaded from the Substance 3D Assets site.
Question.03
What difficulties do prospective students have?
What difficulties do prospective students have?
I think the most difficult thing is the vague wall about procedural methods . This is because it uses a completely different method from the way we have been working until now. Therefore, what we will focus on in this lecture is the understanding and use of the procedural method and the operating principles of each node .
Question.04
Please say a word to the students.
Please say a word to the students.
We have included everything from very basic theory to advanced know-how so that you can fully utilize Substance Designer. After taking this lecture, Substance Designer will not just be the name of a tool, but will become your new name . No longer think of Substance Designer as an insurmountable wall, but break that wall.
