Hi great tutorial however i dont seem to get the same results. did you apply the substance shader to the particleshape as well? when i came this part 4:14 my particleshape node did not have the ramps you said that maya would automatically create. also in 5:33 it was a bit confusing im sorry i have not much experience in creating nodes in hypershade how did you get the multiplydivde node to the emmiter node i cant seem to get them connected. great tutorial and would really like to learn more.

when i try to load a substance file...i dont get to the rite folder...could you tell me the proper path to the substance "library"

thanks very much

[Pixeldev999]

@jedisnow The substance library is located at the root of Maya's installation directory, the folder is called "substances". However, the animated textures being used in this video are available in an additional package called "Bonus Tools/Pack" that you can download for free: allegorithmicDOTcom/community/­blog/article-substance-bonus-t­ools-maya-2012

well, i don't know where the heck my emitter1 on hypershade is.. please help...

[Pixeldev999]

@zbelda Simply select your emitter within the viewport or Outliner and graph it within Hypershade: click on the two gray arrows icon.

I cant ever find a video on how to sculpt a cool character from scratch...

[SilentAssassin1991]

@drakozero8 I would suggest Mudbox or Zbrush.They both have presets of chars.Then you can just sculpt them however you like.

Hi

I have download your plugin. Its appear on maya, but I cannot find the Flow. Is there something else I should do?

[Pixeldev999]

@neegan1 There is no more "Flow" attribute, the texture is now automatically animated, just enable "Animation" in the attribute editor, you can also adjust the Speed of the animation.

[krz9000]

i have NO flow attribute and there is NO default connection to opacity PP. please check what version you offer on your website. what i downloaded does not match what you show here. (it seems as i am not alone with this problem)

[Pixeldev999]

@krz9000 The flow attribute has been substituted by an automatic animation, just enable "Animation" within the AE/channel box.

Hi I have question for this vdo. I try to put the substance output texture to the Opacity PP ramp color it seem doesn't work for me. because ramp turn substance output color to be one color. Do I need any expression for this? :(

Thank you

[Pixeldev999]

@tormor147 Yes, the Ramp key will actually make an average color of this.

how kan i move the network to the opject

[Pixeldev999]

@milemoos1 MMB on the material and drag it to your object in the viewport.

Or select your object, RMB on your material and choose "Assign material to selection".

[Pixeldev999]

You need to connect the Emissive output as transparency in your material.

By deafult maya will NOT create opacity map!!! annnd.. it doesnt work..

[Pixeldev999]

Have you downloaded the Substance Bonus Tools?:

There is indeed a "flow" parameter with this stylized textures.

@Pixeldev999

Thanks! downloaded them now, Never knew textures can be this amazing...

[learn2AnimationVFX]

in maya 2012 that i have, there is no flow attribute, but the speed attribute works just as well. (as long as animation is on 1).

Thanks for an awesome tut. Always wanted to know how to make energy balls like that.
