Creating procedural materials is an important part of a modern visualization workflow. In this course, learn how to quickly create a variety of architectural materials in Allegorithmic Substance Designer, for application in design-visualization projects. Structured as a series of case studies on common material types such as mosaic tile, wood tile flooring, and woven mesh, this course incorporates techniques for crafting custom materials as needed for a design while staying true to the manufacturer's intentions. Discover how to create height, normal, and ambient occlusion maps for your substances, mask pattern components to simulate custom material blending such as mixed tile, test your materials in Unity to see how they'd appear in a real-time application, and more.

Topics include:

* Mosaic and metallic tiles

* Determining tile patterns

* Varying tile roughness

* Exposing parameters for design flexibility

* Testing tiles in a scene

* Crafting subtle metallic properties

* Terrazzo

* Patterned tile for accents

* Wood tile flooring

* Creating wood grain from noise

* Ashlar veneer

* Molded wall panels

* Woven mesh
