I am trying to learn how to optimize .

I am not sure but I guess you are looking for something called texture atlas.
You can pack everything in one texture so you will have one material too.
But I can't speak for substance. Maybe you just have to make groups (knobs, tubes, etc.) and use one vertex color per group instead per object.

[lalalandsynth]

@ud-audio YEs, Probably texture atlas ? There is also UDIM´s which I dont know how work :)

[UD AUDIO]

@lalalandsynth Oh I have heard of UDIM but also no experience.
Power of two can confuse. And it seems like there is no baking support,
so maybe an add-on is needed. Looks like I need that too!

[lalalandsynth]

Wow, Substance Painter is insane.
Took me all day to make the UV Layout for this then did this in 15 mins in SP.
Needs a lot of work but its clear to me that this will be a level up. :)

@lalalandsynth I am extremely interested in learning about the PaperGui...

[lalalandsynth]

@FatMitchell What do you want to know ? :)

[FatMitchell]

@lalalandsynth how! how shadows, they're all film strips? it looks incredible!
is it for sale?

@lalalandsynth I am a big fan of your GUI works, frankly speaking there is very small amount of VST GUI tutorial available on Youtube etc. If you can make a detailed tutorials on HOW to realisticaly make 3D/2D GUI for a Synthesizer & FX plugins, Knob ,Sliders, Silk Screen on Photoshop,Blender,C4d etc. I will be very beneficial to us. Life is nothing but a learning curve.
Big thumbs up for your creativity and outstanding works.

@DabDab i dont know if you have downloaded my two free Hise Kits, but this is a good way to see how a 3dGUI is build after rendering some elements in keyshot, blender or cinema4d (you can see mostly that inside the PSD file)

[DabDab]

@Straticah Definitely, I love your Kit and downloaded. Actually I am very much interested to make my own 3D realistic GUI. I want to push my creativity further. I always wonder how real Plugins developer make there own 3D GUI. I always want to learn , watch Tutorial videos, learn PS,C4D,keyshot etc. for Audio Plugins development. I have a bit knowledge on 3D software (c4d,maya,etc). But you know, sometimes watching a Tutorial inspires.
But the sad part is there is no full tutorial on YT How to make Audio Plugins GUI (from Slider, knob (Rendering -> Image strip, Silk Screen, 3D VU Meter, Analogue Skins)

@d-healey doing a very beautiful work for HISE. I hope somebody will make 3D GUI tutorials for Audio Plugins development in future.

[Straticah]

@DabDab good idea, i would love to share how i am doing it, it is not that special tho. I think i will make a thread here in the future to show my workflow. It is basically CAD with Fusion360/Animating in keyshot/rendering frames/converting frames into a filmstrip :)

[lalalandsynth]

@FatMitchell yes, its all film strips.
It was very quick work, just as a test.
I could customize it for you if you want to buy it.

[lalalandsynth]

@DabDab i make the ui in photoshop first, then i do the silkscreen in Illustrator, rest is done in Blender.
Sometimes i render the whole ui in blender, sometimes just the knobs and moving elements.

I like the fact that with that workflow I have a model for glory shots and ads.

I thought about making a tutorial but its a lot of planning and work to make a proper one.

Maybe making a simple one about knob making is doable.

Having said that , I wish I knew more about the vector workflow.

[DabDab]

@lalalandsynth Thank you...I am Hoping to watch your Tutorials. (y)

[DabDab]

@Straticah Very nice. Your pipeline is fantastic too. I am hoping to watch and learn from your Tutorials.

If I need a 3D GUI I'll hire someone to do it for me :)
