Pills Material in Substance Designer

Looking for more crazy substances? Check out awesome pills by James Ritossa. The artist used Substance Designer to generate an awesome surface made of capsules. Why? Well, because it’s awesome! 

Want to recreate the material? There’s no reason not to try because James decided to share a step-by-step guide to doing just that:

This tutorial is a detailed walkthrough of the approach to creating a pill material within Substance Designer 2018.  We will focus on layering objects while preventing clipping and exploring masking techniques for layering objects.  We will also go over the process for creating height, color, AO, normal, roughness and opacity maps for this material.  Please note this is not a tutorial created in real time, we will be looking at a previously made graph and how it was constructed.

Streaming video – 45min of fully narrated video by yours truly.
