Here is something Hideo Kojima would find cool. Death Stranding could definitely use this Dead Fish Pile substance created by an Environment Artist Eric Wiley.
Eric created this material as a silly exercise in building shapes. The artist tried a more complex shape in Substance Designer and decided to go with some dead fish.
More substance practice, This was a silly exercise in building shapes. I wanted to try a more complex shape in designer so I tried to do a fish. 100% substance, no resources of any kind. I don’t know why I made this. haha.

Instead of creating all the shapes inside Designer wouldn’t it be easier to import an SVG into Designer as a base shape and work from it?
Yeah, it’s no brick wall. Really high-level stuff. The graph alone looks like a chip from a nuclear submarine.
Well, that makes me feel pretty shitty about the brickwalls I can just about produce in Designer! I need to get back to playing around with this incredible piece of software…
Derjyn it is really hard to understand your motivation of commenting. I bought the material and it *highly* satisfied my needs. Also the seller is really helpful, I was'nt able to run it in 4.18 he fixed it in minutes. If you really want make something really productive create your material and than release an article here.
So uhh.. What's happening at Machine Games then?
Great article but the link to the artist's Artstation portfolio is no longer working?
