3DDeath Star Substance

I was inspired by all the Substance spheres to go ahead and make the most deadly substance in the galaxy! I challenged myself to keep everything to only Substance Designer and a sphere. I ended up with a 8K map but could have gone up to 16k had Substance allowed. In the future maybe UDIMs would be the way to go, but it was fun to try to do everything in Substance Designer. I baked out the maps and rendered the first image with 3ds Max and Vray.

    About this close probably...

    Not as close as I would like, but that mostly boils down to Substance Designer only being able to export 8K maximum. it's one of the biggest requests for the software to export higher.Since it's mostly all vector stuff, you should just be able to scale it up. For the lights and dark structure panels I'm basically dealing with individual pixels at the end. If I were to do it again, I'd probably try UDIMS or make like an 8K map for each quarter of the death star, then put it all together in photoshop...Hmmm..I wonder if THAT is possible to do in Substance after the fact....

    That does indeed look fantastic. :)

    Something does look a little 'off' though - i was trying to put a finger on it. If you look at reference material, you'll note that the 'panels' of detail are more vertically stretched and more packed more densely than you currently have. For example -

    But man, that's impressive work.

    Definitely impressive. One would have to compare side by side but I could have sworn it was a movie shot.
