Re-visions_VAM submitted a new resource:

My Texturing Workflow For My Purple Mage Saber Set | Video - Video to learn my texturing workflow/techniques

For this, you must have access to adobe substance painter

This includes 2 videos, one upcoming purple mage saber, and one Assassin Saber 2

To increase your overall quality of your clothing and skill,
I will make more video posts on my future clothing.

Soon I will include my blender workflow~!

It is important to use these settings if you wish to follow my workflow without any hiccups
Do not select any template.

Excellent, thank you very much!
I just got into SP and did some skin edits.

Maybe this can help others, these are my Substance painter export settings, the names are identified (Duffuse, spectacular, glossines, opacity and Normal maps for OpenGl) so they won't have weird names when exporting.

You need to unzip in the following path

\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter\assets\export-presets

You should change the project settings to Normal Maps for OpenGL.

How's the process to bring over a clothing item from VAM to SP?

select no template when you start a new project, and when you are done, export via VRay Next Specular Glossniess (my reasons bellow for this workflow)
Base Color Replaces Diffuse
Height replaces spec OR you can use https://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/ & input your normal map and export spec from that
Roughness replaces Glossiness
normal maps are just normal maps.

I Export using (vray next specular glossiness) to fix the normal maps for vam.
(I've always had a problem with my normal maps flipping on one side. I think this is due to me mirroring my clothing in blender, and the normal maps messing up in z or y axis or something. It's very confusing to explain the complexity of normal maps but exporting using (vray next specular glossiness) fixes the problems I have in VAM with normal maps flipping on one side.

It doesn't matter if you use glossiness or roughness, as they are the same looking in VAM when you do custom roughness maps like I do. This goes for the Diffuse, Spectacular/ ---> base layer, height as well.

the reason why I (don't select any template) is so I can have base, roughness, height & normal as an easy base set-up. selecting no templates allows me to baking lights on the base color map.
when I'm done texturing, I export via VRay Next Specular Glossiness.
this export works best with vam 1 from my 1+ years of texturing process for vam 1)

Wow thank you for explaining!
I’ll definitely have a look again

也许这可以帮助其他人，这些是我的 Substance 画家导出设置，名称已识别（Duffuse、spectacle、glossines、opacity 和 OpenGl 的法线贴图），因此导出时它们不会有奇怪的名称。

你需要解压到以下路径

您应该将项目设置更改为 OpenGL 的法线贴图。

Hello, according to your template, which shader should be selected?

PBR Spectacular

PBR Spectacular

I found that I could convert the texture.Converting PBR blending to PBR spec-gloss. Use this setting.

These files were designed for people who are just starting out in making clothes in Vam and in my workflow. I am not an expert, and of course there is room for improvement. Thank you for the suggestion.
My SP is an old version of Steam, and I can't find the PBR Blending option to check it.

What I do recommend is that you start the project with PBR Spec-Gloss instead of Metallic-Roughness. With this, you have the option to color the Spectacular and can create different types of materials like this:

Sorry, my explanation was a bit off. I'm using the pbr-metal-rough-with-alpha-blending shader because I found the PBR spec-gloss shader's alpha channel doesn't work。
You can't see the effect of op directly in the view

I used this conversion template and simply set up the map channels I needed, so that I could paint the texture under the Metallic-Roughness workflow and finally convert it to the format required by VAM.

The current video tutorials all follow the Metallic-Roughness method. For beginners, using a conversion template will help avoid mixing up the materials. This is also the result of my discussions and research with others.
