- Procedural textures are the answer that artists didn't know they needed. Rather than compromising on a static texture, procedural allows you to have the EXACT texture you need.

It's even harder to imagine the day when modelling could be done in a user friendly manner, procedurally with more efficiency.
Its called houdini
@@hund4440 Procedural? Yes. But I'm not sure if it's possible to model a human character procedurally in Houdini. From what it seems currently at the moment, in my opinion, Houdini procedural modelling tools looks powerful BUT extremely complex, as if it's meant only for hardworking geniuses. :O
@@MultiMirs for nerds
As someone who loves 3d modeling but dreads texturing, this looks really attractive
procedurally there are things like Makehuman and other small programs doing that.
Does not require a subscription to use*
*You just need a subscription or credits to buy the actual generators to use in our free software so you can actually generate textures.
Apologies for the confusion. It wasn't our intention to pretend these generators are free, only that *Substance Player* is free. Our generators do indeed cost credits.
Sorry. We'll be more clear in the future.
He never said the generators are free, he only mentioned that "Substance player" is free to download, if i m wrong reply with a time mark where he said those generators are for free dummy head :)
You guys really need to understand that Substance Player and Poliigon generators are not the same thing. Substance Player is free. It's not difficult to understand.
Alternatively, you can use python, which IS free and learn how to roll your own procedural textures. Some experimentation will be required.
ah damn, poorly aged: adobe has taken over, and they're taxing the once free program
Sure, wonderful. Great software, great results. But stop promoting it as free. It isn't free, not even close. You need to have a paid subscription to access just one generator, and remain subscribed for at least 4 months in order to have enough credits for the other generators. And that's JUST the generators. Textures are limited based on the credits you spend or your subscription.
It's awesome, and worth the price. But really. It isn't free. Don't say it is.
That's one of my biggest issues with Blender Guru. He portrays stuff as "free, just make an account, or just do this, yata yata" when it really isn't like he says it is. Like in his famous donut tutorial Blender series, he says that Poliigon is a great place and all that. But a free subscriber gets access to very few textures and even fewer downloads. I don't mind the download count since I get that he needs to run a business, and has server costs, but last I recall, he doesn't even say/show that you'd need to pay to download anything from the massive library, and there's a few that you don't need to pay for.
And even for that "Blender 2.79 hotkey cheatsheet" that he mentioned (and only said "if you want it, just go to the link in the description to get it"), you had to subscribe to his email newsletter to even get the privilege to download it. It's free but through an unnecessary hoop IMO.
This software is free to download and open I'm sure, so he can say it's "free". He's a great teacher, and artist, but I don't think he's a great businessman, since he's choosing to lead many many people on, on a way-to-tell-the-truth-that-will-make-people-think-it's-something-that-it's-not.
I don't have a problem with his business practices though, as far as I know. But the way he advertises stuff and how it actually is, really just makes me only trust anything he's advertising as something "really easy/simple to get" if he's not in any way affiliated with them. Which I know he's affiliated with Poliigon, so I highly doubted "a lot of people don't know this software is free", so thank you for letting us commenters know.
lmao, why blender users are obsessed with free?, I agree though.
@@DanielGarcia-ys7kj Well, because Blender is free?
@@DanielGarcia-ys7kj because for a lot of people who use free software, they don't have a lot of money to spend in the first place.
Apologies. It wasn't our intention to pretend these generators are free, only that *Substance Player* is free. We only included this line because in our researching, we discovered that many users didn't know you could use Substance files for free. So we made sure to spell that out. SP is free and runs any .SBSAR file.
Our generators are indeed 100 credits each, but honestly, that's a bargain. The Modern Brick generator is capable of creating at least 500 unique materials, which at a traditional asset cost is 5,000 credits... yet it only costs 100. Once you try it, we're confident you'll see how much of a steal it is.
Damn you guys are good.

You have the coolest channel man!
Thanks, and you too man! Love your lazy tutorial series :)
As are you.
@@poliigonofficial yo
This "brick generator" costs 100 credits, wich is aproximetly 8$ for one customizable material(depending on your subscription plan). In comparison a customizable material in substance Source costs only 0.66 $ + you get Substance Painter and Substance Designer. I use both Substance Source(for materials) and Poliigon(for materials and for 3D models), and for now if you need custiomizable materials Substance source is a far better deal. Also Substance source credits don't expire after few months.
I completely agree with you, 100 credits a bit much for them.
While it’s true that Substance Source is vastly cheaper, we’re confident that once you use these, you’ll understand why they’re more expensive.
A typical substance source file is usually quite limited in what it can create, with about 5-20 unique materials.
Whereas this Modern Brick Generator produces around 800 unique materials.
We do love Substance, but their Source library has a different goal than ours.
@@poliigonofficial At this price this is a scam.

Relatively new? It the oldest type of texturing! Amiga computers was doing this in early computers graphics softwares when computers had a very limited memory! Decades after, I did a lot of procedural texturing in XSI 15 years Ago! Procedurally and nodal! Exactly same way guys do in substance nowdays! The difference is only the real-time feedback of brute Force processors today.
No man, it is not new, even "relatively" ;)
Even older: Perlin Noise, one of the first algorithms used for texture creation, was created in 1983.
True. We also used procedural textures 15 years ago, but they've only ever been useful for masking, or simple color variations. What's new is that they're finally becoming a viable alternative to photo textures.
@@poliigonofficial Aaaand i would even argue that point, as you *could* get even the old ones to do that. I've seen artists do amazing stuff with the simplest nodes some 10-20 years ago (I am old). But this is becoming very nitpicky now, so i'll stop here and agree that Substance made it much more workable. :D
0:05 Can´t find a matching brick texture. Chooses the one under the matching brick texture..... :D
I saw that one too lmao
Procedural textures is a new type of texture? Bro, procedural textures IS THE OLDEST TYPE OF TEXTURES! Back when memory limitations were high, there existed nothing but procedural textures!
this is the most accurate comment of this video !
You left out the part where he actually said 'relatively new'.
Let's see how you do when you have to make bricks without a straw man (lol, little Exodus joke there).
@@NR-rv8rz "relatively new" vs "the oldest" is still worlds apart. I've got a procedural texture book from 1994 in my shelf. In the world of computer graphics that's infinitely far away from "relatively new". Perlin Noise, which has been one of the most important innovations in procedural textures, was invented in 1983. However you turn this and however useful the thing may be for people working with brick textures, the video is spreading a bit of nonsense here.
@@MrKohlenstoff Fair enough :)
Procedural texture *noise* & entirely procedural *materials* are also worlds apart! These procedural materials have the ability to change colour, specular, height, transmissions etc etc that is coming a long way from a simple perlin noise...
Relatively new? Dude Perlin Noise was introduced in 1982 :D
Great stuff though keep it up.
Bronzekoala I should have said relatively new in popularity :P
They’ve been around forever, mostly to assist masking and simple textures, but only recently used for full material creation.
Yeah I was gonna say, we had this stuff in 3ds Max when I was learning it in school back in 1998
Bronzekoala well, it’s relatively new on the scale of the universe.
@@emberd-l795 True :D My bad, I thought we were using the history of computergraphics as reference system.
@@poliigonofficial exactly! full procedural materials is a long way from simple procedural noise!

@@elpechero4567 Your welcome!
I'm now a dedicated materials artist and just found a job specifically suited to me doing work like this. It definitely is a very valuable skill that we are pushing studio wide. I jumped on the bandwagon when I first played around with substance designer and have not looked back. Amazing software and really, you just need to learn this! Great for also supplementing your sculpting. (generating basically non destructive, infinitely scalable alphas/depth masks/displacement maps for both stylized and photographic content)
What would be your reference classes to learn procedural texturing ...
@@samduss4193 Also Quixel Mixer is good software and a bit more texture/photobashing based. I haven't used it much recently but it looks really good and probably has a bit less of a learning curve.
I will take my chances thank you very much, what you are offering us is a way for you to always be the ones with the upper hand.
Eventually you'll be able to take a photo of any surface, run it through a machine learning based program, and it'll create a procedural version of the material for you. It might be harder to edit, and you won't be able to create unique custom materials with this, but if you have references then it'll be perfect.
Still, starting with brick textures is good, I assume this was a test run with the most common materials and in future we're going to be seeing more complex patterns of bricks, old stone walls, interlocking curves, and later other kinds of non-brick surfaces.
That's an amazing idea. I can't wait until someone makes software like that.
Hey guys, it happened!
would this kind of method be applicable to other types of texture, for instance, marble and wood?
Probably yes, if they create a generator for it.
No, its just bricks.
While we've started with Bricks you can expect to see many more of these generators in the future covering a variety of material types.

Thanks to people like you are that others and beginners can learn faster and they can understand better ideas and get clear all questions, thank you so much for your tutorials and explanations, you are the best my friend !!!!!!!!
Creating realistic procedural texture requires some SERIOUS skill and even thou it cant compete with real life photoscan. Future is not in fully procedural textures, but in procedural modification of photoscanned textures. It takes MUCH less skill, takes MUCH less time and result is better. Quixel clearly showed the way, increase in quality and speed is tremendous. And time = money, this is only thing which matters at the end.
I have once bought a library with 100+ Substance Painter files in a cheap deal on cgtextures and they are absolutely worth it! Don't like to work without procedural textures anymore!
I have no idea why this was recommended to me but now I have a sudden urge to model some houses
You know what we need for models in Poliigon? *Plants.*
Thanks! I have been looking easy way to modify my brickwall textures.
Hi, Andrew.
This is off topic but I really would love it if you and your team put some focus on making a variety of damaged walls and floors, like peeled wall paint or broken tiles. I noticed that there are barely good ones online and making them by myself is kinda annoying.
many people like to use these kinda textures in their horror games or scenes.
hopefully you read this.
the best way to put it into good use is just create a procedural generation maps Libraries and put them into 3d engines, like unreal, unity and cryengine.
You will have some amount of place for procedural code, and small materials for generate random procedural big textures =).
We need this for wooden floors and timber cladding!! Please!
Not sure why this was in my recommended but it was satisfying to watch
Ah, perfect. Just what I needed to get back in the race to complete the group project that's been four months overdue because everyone else melted in the summer heat.

Awesome! Will you expand this to include other materials/textures too? Like concrete, wooden planks, dirt, grass, fabrics etc?
While we've started with Bricks you can expect to see many more of these generators in the future covering a variety of material types.

no subscription the most badass thing you can say in this economy
0:58 "No subscription" didn't age well after Adobe bought Substance.
But you charge very high.
Business model is very expensive.
They would be hereos if there materials where free they looks so good. I would love to subscribe for it when I would get unlimited Material not just credits.
@@18Jeykey nott unlimited .
Atlease some amount of materials for this amount is better.
Like pay all money and wait for a year to get you quata .. is more than a rendering harassment.
Render may take day or two.
Here for texture which you payed already but you won't get for a year.
Do wee have 1000 years to live ?
Then go for something less if your team isn't the size of the business model. If it is and it's still expensive, then you're either cheating yourselves by dropping the price of your services too low or you're not up to par with other firms. I personally find it fairly priced. If it was cheaper, they would be screwing themselves over and if it was more expensive, they would be arrogant. But they're on a nice middle point and if that's too expensive for you, then you're either paying for a version you don't need or you're not making enough money as a business. If it's the latter, you need to locate the problem in your business and fix it. Otherwise you're doomed to get more problems in the future.

Hi andrew, i really love the stuff you do, but it did hurt so much when you said procedural textures are relatively new.
I used procedural textures almost 20 years ago already, the only thing new is that there is now a software on the market which makes it easy to use for the masses.
Sorry i don't like to be so picky but somehow that triggered me, love you
this 3 minute video gave me 20 minutes of information. well did
dear lord the amount of negative comments is just unbelievable, i honestly don't have a poliigon subscription but i gonna say they truly don't deserve the hate they're getting they really improved over the course of a year and the library is vast now and I'm glad they believed in themselves instead of succumbing to those that were against them not to mention that they provide textures and generators that people actually need so if you don't need it or if you can't (nor willing to) afford it please don't say it's bad or overly expensive because one no one forced you to two it's not essential in your work-flow it only makes it easier and faster (meaning there are dozens of free websites so why complain about the price or whatever when your needs are already sufficed) and three they're working really hard for those textures and this is coming from someone who's been into 3D for enough time and knows that substance designer indeed is a pretty complex program and having to regularly add new textures/models not only takes time but also thought because they need to think of what people would actually need so yeah just stop criticizing and think for once that people need a source of living and freelancing as someone who makes time-consuming tutorials (or at least that's what i think andrew's job was) isn't really the most rewarding income-wise.

Nice, but good only for commercial use for clean architectural renders. Otherwise, it looks too artificial. You are always better of with photo/custom texture.
I believe that Poliigon is the best platform to get your textures from if you're 3D modelling at some professional level.
but I'm just doing 3d stuff as a hobby, so I don't use anything more than the free assets
i remember doing similar things in povray, hard to get right, but makes sweet results.
It's good to know that someone is making game development easer for developers so we can have better games.
Tbh the present of texturing is procedural. All major studios with few exceptions do texturing this way.
You also have a brick generator in blender called br'cks I think
😊 👍
It's actually quite useful, even for wood planks materials lol.
No. It's called bhrcks
@@ThomasBreaker Yeah we can use it for more than bricks. The only problem (wich is a logic one) is that there are so many nodes in it that it slows down the computer quite easily if you go a bit too far, and it creates this pink material in eevee meaning that there are too many nodes
Kinda useful for an environment or a hard surface asset. I wouldn't go too far to say the future of texturing is procedural.
The current of texturing is procedural. All major studios use it.
I did something like this with AI CS5 years ago when I was texturing my space ship like models for a game project that really never took off. It's a nice method and would like to use this again one day.
It is really awesome ! The line between computers models and real life object disappear further
0:59 Keep in mind they're saying "No SOFTWARE Subcscriptions"
Watch out, they're SELLING these generators, they're not giving them away for free!
The Poliigon website has a credit balance system where every asset is sold for an own price. To earn said credits, you need one of their three subscription plans that roughly put 1 credit at the price of $0.5 .
