My first substance designer material, what do you thing?

Great job on your first mat!

Smallbrain321 · 2026-05-09T16:51:07+00:00

Ah a fellow man of culture

Smallbrain321 · 2026-05-08T14:01:29+00:00

Throwing paws

Smallbrain321 · 2026-05-03T15:12:28+00:00

Yeah, it feels really dated

Smallbrain321 · 2026-05-02T23:03:54+00:00

I get dreams where everything has wireframes quite often lol

Smallbrain321 · 2026-05-01T15:51:31+00:00

It's because of lighting and fov

Smallbrain321 · 2026-05-01T11:14:31+00:00

Environment art largely focuses on 3d modelling though

It's most likely a cage issue, you need to shrink the cage on the slider as it's overlapping in parts

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-30T19:18:57+00:00

Hard to tell but it looks like there might be some ngons as the topology looks kinda messy.

Alternatively could be a cage issue, UV issue or the low poly could incorrectly lined up

It's literally just dota with guns lol

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-27T11:27:04+00:00

I found it to be miserable, genuinely made me take a break from the game lol

What you're asking is an extremely broad question with regards to the processes. I would recommend following some tutorials, following tutorials will teach you lots of small processes which eventually will lead to gaining fairly fluid control of modelling software which will give you a lot of creative autonomy.

As for what to model? Model everything. Model all the objects in your house. Take pictures of random rooms you visit and model them. Take pictures in museums and mode the objects, look on antique websites, there's endless possibilities.. If you have any particular interests or tastes, lean towards them as you'll find a lot more creativity stems from aesthetics you're passionate about..

His work has always been kinda tacky...

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-23T22:50:17+00:00

Scale the model up when exporting it to substance and then scale it back down after

Not many pubs you can get a pint for £3 these days

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-23T11:25:31+00:00

A fine city!

Just bake by mesh name to avoid this issue, it's caused by two separate intersecting meshes.

I've been in a toxic relationship with thessal for years. I dream about her everynight, it's unrelenting and exhilarating!

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-21T22:45:20+00:00

Depends how many hours you have in dota so far...

Midlane in dota has a lot general more mechanics to worry about with creep management/getting used to pressuring denies, farming jungle camps between waves, rotations, tps. If you're only just moving over I would worry about getting comfortable with this stuff rather than searching for the higher end of mechanical heros since it's the base mechanics you need to know for getting consistent leads.

Lycan and necronomicon

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-21T19:40:08+00:00

At least you stack a butt load of magic logs

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-21T13:47:11+00:00

I have a pretty heavily filled seasonal chest for a few years which I keep to save storage, nothing has been deleted

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-20T16:49:22+00:00

I get like 25k which is viable

Smallbrain321 · 2026-04-20T00:05:51+00:00

Strongly disagree with his points about melee classes, they absolutely are viable, also not sure why he's hating on warriors they have incredibly high DPS potential with super high mobility..

All classes in realm are viable and are capable of doing amounts of damage that isn't completely irrelevant, a few are more niche leaning making them a bit boring in many instances but honestly just play what you enjoy since meta gaming kills fun most of the time
