Title: Using Substance Designer with Corona Materials in Cinema 4d
Post by: itsmyda on 2017-07-10, 00:43:28

Hey all, I'm super new to 3d in general so bear with me. I've searched everywhere but i can't find an answer to this. I've already done the convert to corona thing that's mentioned in this article https://www.allegorithmic.com/blog/how-we-used-substance-source-cinema-4d-and-corona-renderer.

Using Substance with the regular C4D materials is easy because you just drag and drop. How do I use them with Corona materials?

at the moment you have to create a corona convertor graph and export the bitmaps out for use in corona.

ie. get the substance material how you like - run it through the corona convertor in substance designer - export the bitmaps and load into the relevant channels in corona material.

something like below:
