Steam Punk Weapon Marmoset 4 instead of Substance Painter

General / 08 November 2023

Worked though this Steam Punk Weapon and had a good time of it. Tried to see if I could just use Marmoset 4 texturing tools instead of using Substance Painter for the texturing portion of the project. Just went step by step and equated what might produce similar results for Marmoset 4 and this is what resulted. It was defnitely a tutorial that took some commitment and time.  I would recommend knowing these programs fairly well if you go attempting this build. Decided to go with an absinth decorative theme on the weapon. 



The project that was followed can be found here

Gelatinous Cube

General / 25 July 2021

Messing around with Zbrush and Marmoset 4 Started with making some materials and someone gave me the idea to make a gelatinous cube. 



Was inspired originally by the jelly shader in zbrush when making some alphas for sculpting. 


So decided to see what could be made in Marmoset 4 and someone recommended making a a gelatinous cube and decided to see what could be done. 


Then messed around with the glass shader changing the IOR to something that matches Jello.


Then mocked up a quick cube in zbrush.


One of the materials that resulted from the tiled alpha originally created.

Bacon Maple Bar

General / 02 May 2020

Decided to try the  Blender Guru donut tutorial but I am a maple bar fan. I see his tutorial so often wanted to see what it was like. Really wanted to try substituting the sprinkles with bacon.  It was a nice way to relax needed something to take a break from a super long hard surface project.
