Indigo Renderer Forum

Hello, I am thinking to make some textures with substance designer (I have to learn it first). In c4d, there is a plugin for substance designer but that works only in standard and physical renderer because of some substance shader and etc in it.
Is there a way to convert that material to indigo material?

thanks

Substance simply renders image maps, or am I wrong?
If you put these maps inside your Cindigo material channels; everything should be fine? Do you use the interactive realtime render preview window? Or the interactive region render in the C4D editor window? I am not sure which one forces automatically reloading of textures.

Sorry for delay, yeah you are right but I was thinking maybe there is different algorithm

thanks for the answer

you're wrong
using the plug-in, you can have a complete texture workflow control coming from nodes you have published in first in substanceDesigner.
I done a test, just for fun

in first I modeled something, in this case I use rhino (for Mac !) and I export the file on win :


then I unwrap the different parts


after that, I was able to paint something using substance painter and generate differents maps


I constructed a texture workflow using substanceDesigner, with published nodes like : blur, level, contrast...


importing the flux via the plug-in :
1 I can tweak texture inside c4d directly with feature coming from Substance's file
2 I build a first Indigo base texture : phong or diffuse
3 I build a coated Indigo texture using the 2 in substrate
4 I blend the 3 with a pur phong nk.data profil using a map


here is the result

Be seeing you.

Ah, nice!

Regarding multi composed Indigo's texture, the export's time is increased drastically, so
it's better to convert to external's textures when it's ready.
by example I have measured :
160 seconds with multi-textures vs 35 seconds with external's textures.
