Mastering Digital Material Creation with HP Z Captis and Substance 3D Sampler

In this riveting demonstration from Adobe Substance 3D, we witness the sheer brilliance of capturing and crafting digital materials with the HP Z Captis and Substance 3D Sampler. The HP Z Captis, a material capturing marvel, seamlessly integrates with Sampler, allowing users to effortlessly preview, capture, process PBR channels, and export top-notch digital materials. This cutting-edge functionality is a game-changer for those with enterprise teams or Education Substance licenses, offering a glimpse into the future of material creation.

To kick things off, the HP Z Captis must be properly set up by placing the technical area in the scanning zone and initializing it in Sampler. Once aligned, users can start scanning materials of up to 30 by 30cm in size, ensuring a flat surface using the provided magnets. Adjusting camera focus, exposure, and calibrating colors with technical areas are essential steps for achieving precise scans that mirror the original samples. By defining the capture region, project name, output type, and resolution, users can tailor the scanning process to their specific needs, whether opting for low or high dynamic range and selecting resolutions like 2K or 8K for unparalleled quality.

During the capturing process, a series of photos are taken and processed into essential PBR channels such as base color, normal, height, and opacity. Adding metadata along the way and reviewing the maps post-capture ensures the accuracy and success of the material creation process. Once satisfied, users can further enhance their materials by applying filters and processes to the channels in the layers panel, allowing for customization and fine-tuning of the final outcome. Whether exporting the material as maps or sbsar files for versatile application use or sending it directly to compatible third-party platforms, the possibilities for creative exploration are endless. This tutorial encapsulates the essence of innovation and precision in the realm of digital material creation, courtesy of HP Z Captis and Substance 3D Sampler.
