Substance Designer: a material study

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is running late or is distracted, it’s only because they saw a good reference and had to take notes!

I’ve been frequenting this coffee house with a friend recently, and noticed that they had a really nice floor. I took some pictures of it and tried if I could replicate it in Substance Designer. I’m still learning the software, so it was really nice to see that all the information is starting to stack up.

I was quite happy with the result and could see myself using it in a project. You can change the tile colors, size and amount of dirt.
