Designer Quicktip 19 Sand Dunes | Adobe Substance 3D

love the quick tips, seems great for beginners and reminds me of things i've forgotten quickly after not using it for a while :)

if you want some extra ripples on one side of the dunes you can use generated normals to fetch the sides/direction of the dunes. often dunes have one side that's fairly smooth (the side the wind blows against it). while the other side not affected by the wind often have a bit of a rippled texture to it.

Really interesting to see some nodes combinations as always 🙂. But, as the rest of the quicktip series, it's a bit sad that there is not much explanations. There is a quick overview of the nodes at the beginning but then it's going very fast and it's 95% of listing each parameter (which doesn't help understanding). I feel like the most difficult part of this software is understanding how nodes interact together rather than explaining their parameters individually. I'd love to see some slower quicktip vid taking the time to explain what you're doing instead of listing values, and WHY you're using each node, otherwise it's just "copy and try to understand yourself".

Still a great showcase of what Substance Designer can do ofc, and it's always interesting to see how we can recreate real stuff with this software.

(PS: If I may, about the whole quicktip series, it's also hard to read even in 1080p. Maybe it could be worth it to zoom a bit more or increase the resolution.)

This seems attractive to beginners but ends up with me just trying to emulate the barely explained steps and getting a headache. "Now this node, now this setting you never heard of, now this" - it goes bam, bam, bam. Someone who can follow this relatively comfortably probably doesn't need a video like this.

YOU CAN TAKE SLOPE BLUR INTO THE NEGATIVE THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!?

good results but
way too complicated software.
