In this video, I walk through a complete beginner guide to Substance Painter, starting from absolute zero. This is Part 1 of a multi-part series designed for game developers and 3D artists who have never used Substance Painter before.
We begin by getting familiar with the Substance Painter interface, learning how to move the camera and navigate the 3D viewport, and importing a mesh for texturing. From there, I show how to apply basic materials and smart materials, explain what mesh baking is and why it’s important, and walk through the baking process step by step.
You’ll also learn how to create your own materials using layers, masks, and generators, including controlling roughness, adding wear and dirt, and using height maps to add text and surface details. Everything is explained in a simple, beginner-friendly way with real examples.
This series is focused on real game-ready workflows, preparing assets for engines like Unreal Engine, and helping you build a strong foundation in texturing without feeling overwhelmed.
If you’re brand new to Substance Painter or want a clearer understanding of how it actually works, this tutorial is the perfect place to start.
