The second session with Oliver and Carlos of Lab Sessions was all about defining a style, and learning the basics of Substance Painter.
Oliver’s suggested UV guides
A style reference from a broadside ballad of The Handsome Maid of Milkstreet
The hope is to somehow give a sense of these old broadsides while maintaining a 3D immersive sonic experience for the players. Referencing print making, limited colour palettes and worn paper.
The team gave me a run down of how to import from Blender into Substance Painter, baking Ambient Occlusion, and lighting, using generators and masks. This week I’ll be exploring these tools myself to see how far I can go at different resolutions, and what tools may help me on my quest!
