I discovered 3D about ten years ago, during my final year at the Fine Arts school. Although it wasn\u2019t really taught there, I dove into it on my own time, mainly learning through YouTube tutorials, and I\u2019ve been exploring and enjoying it ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Early in my 3D journey, I became fascinated by the texturing process. I quickly realized how essential materials are to the final look of a project. That\u2019s when I discovered the Substance 3D tools, like Substance 3D Painter and Substance 3D Designer. After graduating, I continued to experiment and soon fell in love with Substance 3D Designer in particular. I built a strong portfolio focused on material creation, and as a personal project, I created a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/artwork\/qA0znz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">procedural leaf generator<\/a> in Substance 3D Designer. That project got some attention within the material creation community, and in 2019, I had the opportunity to join the Substance team.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, I\u2019ve contributed to the Substance 3D Assets Library, creating materials and assets for the community. I&#8217;ve also worked on additional visual content for marketing and communication purposes, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/138634993\/Play-with-your-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">procedural food collection<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/167597051\/Photoreal-Photosynthesis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">procedural foliage assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, my interest gradually shifted toward animation. With my background in procedural workflows through Substance 3D Designer, I naturally gravitated toward Houdini. Since 2023, I\u2019ve also started working as a freelance 3D Designer, focusing on procedural setups, animation, simulation, and look development. I\u2019ve had the chance to collaborate with great studios, such as Six N. Five, contributing to their <a href=\"https:\/\/sixnfive.com\/projects\/metamorphose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">latest Cartier project<\/a> and other in-house experimental work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Introduction\u00a0 Hello, I&#8217;m Maximilien Vert, a 3D Designer based in Paris, France.
