Welcome to the Substance Painter – Rune Sword Course!
This is a beginner level course teaching the basics of Substance Painter to create a AAA quality rune sword, complete with PBR textures (don’t worry, you’ll learn what those are), with emissive glowing runes that shine their magical light in the dark!
You’ll be introduced to Substance Painter and how to get your meshes into the software. This course uses the Rune Sword, modeled in my Blender Sculpting – Rune Sword course, but you’ll be provided with both the high and low poly mesh for this course!

· Layers
· The Layer Stack and Layer Groups
