Five years have passed from creating this video and it's still one of the most extremely useful on this topic! Thanks!

As an engineer, I have newfound respect for artists and their unique ability to see color/light interactions. Amazing work!

PLEASE DO MORE SUBSTANCE DESIGNER TUTORIALS. This is one of the most helpful and informative tutorials I've been able to find. I honestly feel like I leave the video knowing what to do and not just with a texture that I don't understand. Thank you!

This is probably the best SD tutorial I have ever watched. I have been having trouble understanding how to get complex patterns in SD but this presentation is a demo of exactly what I needed. I had several aha! moments while watching. Thanks very much for this.

Whatever people say about the quality of the main Allegorithmic Channel, many of their tuts, especially the stream live ones, are messy. The guy does a breakdown of a finished work, but doesn't click on all the nodes, doesn't show all the connections and worse, uses sbs of his own library without going in detail at all about how to do them. So you end up with an half finished job, a big headache and a lot of frustration.
This tutorial of yours I just began is sincerely amazing. The final result and the clear and well organized way you think and explain is a real pleasure. Thanks a lot for sharing so thouroughly and understandably your work. It's of BIG help for those of us who are still learning. This is by far the best Substance Tutorial I've seen so far. Gumroad, Lynda and Digital Tutors doesn't seem to have any better. So again : thanks ! :)

Very cool tutorial. Clear and efficient. Thank you for sharing !

Thank you for creating free tutorials for the non-traditional game art students! So glad I found this channel. Trying to learn packages like zbrush and SD on my own and while the programs are costly, it's the the lack of free learning resources that makes it difficult to learn on your own.

Man...I am only 16 minutes into this video and you got me even more interested in creating materials a bit more seriously :)...
