Substance bonus tools

#1

Hi all,

I’m looking to create an energy field effect and I found this great looking video tut

it talks about the substance bonus tools by allegorythmic. Obviously this is a tutorial for maya 2012.

My question is, does anyone know if these bonus tools are available for maya 2018?

Many thanks,
Matt

Hello, yeah I used that same effect back in 2011 on an Autotrader spot while at Digital Domain.

It is used in the blue environment

Substance in Maya doesn’t come with this preset though prepackaged… at least it originally didn’t.

I had to get it from TurboSquid.

But I just browsed there and do not see it anymore. It was one of the very first additional presets available when it first came out.

I tweaked the original it to get the effect.

It was called emissive substance I think… can’t remember…

You could do this pretty easily with simple textures or with particles, if you need it animated.
