You explained it in detail and it still looks like magic.

No doubt educational information is now easily accessible online in the recent years but its very rare that we find such a useful guides free or easily accessible.
Appreciate your contribution Wes.

I was waiting for that!Thx!
Amazing tut, recently subscribed and already learned some awesome tricks, thanks for share man
Awesome, thank you!
What an absolute genius
man what a tutorial, amazing work
Glad you liked it!
Compare mask is quite interesting. You could probably get away with levels in this case, but compare mask does seem easier and more intuitive.
great as always, Wes
Yes indeed. Definitely could use levels. I find I often forget about compare mask. It can be super powerful. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial!!! It's really great!
You're very welcome!
Awesome work.!Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Incredible, stumbled on this by accident on Twitter and recognized your voice from the getting started tutorials, such a clear and great explanation even a complete beginner like me managed to understand. Great video Wes, makes me wish every Substance Painter tutorial was made by you lol
Thank you so much! I’ll be posting more tutorials.
@@wes.mcdermott I thought it was your voice! :D Yeah keep posting mate you're one of the best at Substance Painter tutorials.
Excellent tutorial, very well explained, thank you very much, Greetings from Mexico

Thank you! So glad you liked the tutorial.
This video, is awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks!
amazing
Learned again a lot! thxMaster! maybe can you do a tutor for noobs about that substance designer, to learn the basics how to make those nice alphas?
Thanks! Yes that is a good idea. I will add it to the list
Oh, the tessellation. I was wondering why other people was getting a better effect than me and my custom alpha's. You're video really cleared that up in a easy way. Thank you for this amazing and easy to follow tutorial
Glad I could help!
So nice
Thanks
aWESome!
This is an amazing tutorial! I was wondering how to import custom-made alphas into Substance 3D Painter?
Thanks! You can go to File>Import Resources and then tag it as an alpha in the import window.

I spent a lot of time this year breaking edges with trim smooth border in zbrush for stylized rock assets and baking them into low poly bevels.
I'm sensing a lot of that work could be done procedurally inside SP. Is there any way it could be done all inside SP?
Yeah you could do this in painter a few ways. You can use the UV border generator to create smoothed masked around UV shells or use the curvature generator.
With doing somthing like this it needs the height map right? So would you have to model the asset with it to export for games that wont use the height map, or can you export the new geometry from within substance? But then id expect the better option would be modelling it within the low poly to begin with.
Yes, this is driven by height and displacement mapping with tessellating the geometry. You can export the tessellated mesh from Painter under the File menu. You can use that to retopologize a low-res mesh.
I have a question I followed the steps. HBAO gave AO effect at the borders of the dent. I don't know why? Also thank you for the amazing tutorial, Wes!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. I think the HBAO can have an effect on the edges of the dent based on the transparent area of the dent effect. I ended up adjusting the HBAO settings so that it minimized the effect on the edges.
@@wes.mcdermott Thank you!
how did you make the height map affect the model like that in 3d? it ussually affects my brush in a 2d illusion
I am using the tessellation shader in Painter. You can increase the height scale and paint height information and it will displace the mesh. You can then export the new version of the model from Painter. It's kind of like sculpting. Nothing like Zbrush, but works very well for effects like this.
Hi, thank you for you lesson. But HELP me please, how can I correct this intersection edges? I tried to make like in your lesson with mask but nothing is corrected.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Can you explain what are the intersection edges?
@@wes.mcdermott sure, at 0:54
im beginner in substance, how are u deforming the mesh???
This video shows how to create the effect. In Painter, I am using displacement and tessellation. It allows you to do some rudimentary "sculpting" using height data.
Which videocard do you have?
I am using a nvidia 3080 Ti.
hi guys sorry for this question but where i can downloand alpha brush dent?
I am sorry! I forgot to add the download to the video description. Here is the link. www.dropbox.com/s/k1099msc5469r97/dent_alpha.png?dl=0
@@wes.mcdermott ty so much
Wait, so substance painter can do actual displacement?
Yeah! It's not Zbrush : ) But you can paint with height data and export tessellated meshes. Definitely has some good use cases.
what will it look like in a game engine?
It will look very similar. You can export this mesh as a tessellated mesh from painter or just use the normal to fake the effect.
man i wish anchor points were just called reference :) use them all the time and the name still seems weird
I sitll do not understand how compare mask work at all
I will look at making some more basic tutorials.
@@wes.mcdermott when I got to you it myself I figured it out how it works, but the feature is confusing when explained, thanks
i dont have designer how do i create that aplha can you please give away your alpha please?
You can download the alpha here: 1drv.ms/u/s!AnegYkPcSt0Ji9sjXeLncobd4sYAnA?e=YIhnIE
@@wes.mcdermott thx
hold your horses... why is it so fast?
Thanks for the feedback :) Definitely can talk to fast at times.
How to create a dent effect in Substance 3D Painter: Step 1. open Designer :D
Haha :)
This is very cool! Thank you very much for such useful material.
Glad it was helpful!
wow, that's great!!!!! so we don't have to sculpt every small details
Absolutely! Yeah, with Painter you can height some height details with displacement. It's not a replacement for a full sculpting tool but great for smaller details.
do youi know how to get rid of sems while using a lot of filters? that will be great to know
Some of the filters will have an option for Triplanar. You can use that option to get rid of the seams. In other cases, I will create a layer above with all channels set to passthrough and I will then use the clone stamp to paint out seams.
Thank you so much Sensei d=====(￣▽￣*)b
Thanks! I am wondering what this means : ) d=====(￣▽￣*)b
