This is a smart material for substance painter that can allows you to add a comics effect to your project.

How to install:
Go to import files, select the .spsm file and import it in your project
If it doesn't import try to copy the .spsm file into this path : C:\Users\*yourPCname*\Documents\Allegorithmic\Substance Painter\shelf\smart-materials

------------------------------------------------
How to use:

Drop the smart material on your mesh.
You can change the line easily with Toon layer

To change the pattern, you have to go into the comics layr's mask => Tile generator and then choose what you want.

If you have line of shadow where you don't want it, no problem, paint the area where you don't want lines or shadows.


The base material is a simple setup to speed up your workflow by adding automticaly the baked texture and grayscale with good settings.

/!\ If you have some issues with the gradient, just refresh it by moving the contrast here :
Gradient black mask -> 3D position -> Contrast
Then put it to 0 and artefacts will disappear.
