SIMPLE TILING TEXTURES - Game Asset Tutorial - Maya - Substance Painter - UE4

In this tutorial we will be looking at an alternative method of creating tiling textures from scratch, this is a great method to quickly produce hard surfaces like ceramic tiles, wood blocks or granite stones etc. With some flexibility for quickly creating variants.
02:00 - The first half of this tutorial will cover the Maya to Substance Painter pipeline
23:45 - And the second half will show how to set this up in UE4 and then create some damage variants using Maya and the Substance painter file we set up.
This tutorial covers Maya and Substance painter but the pipeline could be done just the same in Blender and other packages.
Any questions or suggestions let me know in the comments.
Thanks!

thanks!

I was worried why my tiled texures were with seams, thanks for explaining how the number needs to be non-decimal.

Glad it was helpful 👍

Hi, tell me a tutorial on texturing large objects, such as high-rise buildings in a residential area. To make the base texture non-repeating, it was supplemented with random cracks, traces of water stains with rust, traces of material burnout, graffiti and other elements that add realism.

[@RobotArmy3D]

I'm not sure if this is a question? But yes, that is exactly how large scenes are built. And it depends what you want to construct it in. Most buildings will be made modular and use tiling textures with variants. If you are using a game engine, then you would build a modular set to create the variations in the buildings, tiling textures such as a brick texture using vertex painting with a dirty/clean version will allow you to "paint" variations to that tiling texture within your game engine. Then you would use decals to overlay stuff such as dirt, paint, water damage, etc.
I am working on a tutorial to cover how to break up repetitive scenes in UE4 - but it would be a lengthy tutorial and perhaps be a Gumroad or Patreon tutorial. I haven't decided.

Really good man, do you have Artstation/twitter?

[@RobotArmy3D]

I do, but haven't posted anything on them yet :) www.artstation.com/fait

Hi, awesome Tutorial!! Just wondering did u use the same method to create the walls used in the environment cause thats exact style i'm going for xD

[@RobotArmy3D]

Yes, exactly, very simple plane, textured in painter, exported the textures and used as a tiling material on all my concrete looking things.

[@tenay6309]

Great video :)
Is it better to place the material on multiple planes or just scale it up on a single plane?

[@RobotArmy3D]

It depends on your usage, this here is a modular environment so the floor is split into diffrent sized parts that fit together, whatever works for your project.

@@RobotArmy3D Okey thank you. I wasn't how good it is for the performance if I split it up.
