Mastering Blending Modes

If you want to learn how to use and understand blending modes in Substance materials, this video series is for you. We explain in a non-technical, applied way how and why to use the most common blending modes, with specific focus on masks and heightmaps.

The video series starts with explaining some common, core concepts, and then explains eight blending modes in an applied, easy to follow way. Information is useful if you use Designer or Painter, and specific tips on how to incorporate it for each software can be found in the last two videos.
