Hey all, I’ve been sitting on these for a while and figured that they might be useful to others as well! These are some debug textures I’ve used to help troubleshoot shaders, UVs, orientation, lighting, etc etc. A lot of times some subtle code change can make your effects kind of different, which makes it hard to tell exactly what’s gone wrong. With debug assets like these, those kinds of issues will be a bit easier to track down.
I’ve included high-res versions of each texture, along with the substance designer file used to generate them. Feel free to customize them to your liking!
I’d love to see more of this stuff, what are you using to troubleshoot your work?
These are awesome. I do have one minor complaint with them though. It’s nice to have some sort of numbers or letters on debug textures as they help to quickly see alignment or orientation issues.
Absolutely agree - I tried messing around with it but couldn’t find an elegant way of having Substance create a repeating sequence of numbers or letters across a texture. If anyone has done something similar I’d love to see how it was achieved!
one question.
lets say you have a scalar 0-x (amount of debug textures) would you want to edit the same two uv’s for each, or each have their own seperate U and V scalars? (latter being slightly more complicated)
generally I doubt you need to change values from -1 to 1, so not sure how much it would add to have seperate uv scalars for each image.
duh
I mean, do you want to control the uv’s of each debug texture separately, or would a “one for all” work for general work? (the latter being more work for me, and a messy-ier debug menu in material instances)
So here is a preview of the material function.
Just plop it down from the content browser, (though you can find it in the “palette” as well) and get cracking.
let me know what you think.
If you want I can add an additional url to a website or portfolio(already added realtimevfx) in the material function & materials.
