Extras: Material Studies in Substance Designer
Vase of Lilies
For this project, we utilized materials to produce two versions of an organic object: one in a new state and one in a decayed state. The main focus was to study and replicate the decomposition of materials. We also explored how to use subsurface scattering to achieve light penetration and create translucency in the materials, resembling that of skin.

Flying Car of the Future
For this project, we used materials to create two versions of an object: one in new condition and one in old and damaged condition. The main goal was to gather a series of references and follow them closely to ensure we captured all the details of the decayed reference. We also learned how to expose graphs in Substance Designer and use the materials iteratively within Substance Painter.

Retrofuturistic Material Showcase
For this project, we were introduced to Substance Designer. Using our knowledge, we were asked to create four materials, at least one featuring displacement, and render them out with Unreal Engine to showcase the materials' details.
