Now we move into Substance 3D Painter!

In this episode, I walk through the full setup and workflow to texture the character’s suit.

You’ll see how to bake mesh maps properly, use non-destructive masks and anchor points, and design patterns using the Path and Fill Area tools.

This part is all about creativity and control — building the materials that give the character its final look.

🧰 Tools: Substance 3D Painter, CC5 export pipeline

🎨 Focus: Layered materials, UDIM workflow, anchor-based design
