Substance Painter

Substance Painter 

Substance painter is a software I'm used to using, so I know how to group materials and mask, etc. This is still going to take me ages to do, considering how many assets I have built. In any case, I will robot my way through the day, doing one mesh at a time. Luckily, the two substance designer textures I have (concrete and brick), I just threw straight into the Unreal Engine. This allowed me to just add the materials directly to the meshes and that's half of the game textured already; however I noticed that some of my UVs for certain meshes were oriented wrong and I had to backtrack to Maya again, fix UVs and reimport the meshes in my project to fix the textures going the wrong way. This didn't take too long but was still a hassle to deal with. At least 1/3 of my assets had this problem.

Here are some of my textured assets:
 Prayer Shrine                                                                                            Marble Wall

Flickering Signs I wanted my neon signs to flicker slightly, like they do in real life, so I found out a way to use the emissive channel that I exported from substance painter, and create this flickering effect. I also decided to use something similar for my lamp posts and ceiling lights for the buildings. I actually used my last years project for the health pickup, and translated that straight into this project. This just adds slightly more depth to them. Especially the signs, being a texture and not 3D as I was initially planning to do, there had to be some kind of thing to make it stand out and pop. Not only this, but the Chinese (hopefully correct) is actually appropriate for the scene, which adds to the environment and tells the player where the game is set, along with everything else that should point to it being in China too.
