Wes McDermott shows a simple way to make condensation effects through noise and displacements in Substance 3D Painter.

Check out the latest tutorial from Wes McDermott that shows how to ‘fake’ a water drop and condensation effect in Substance 3D Painter. The tutorial shows how to create splotches that look like water drops through noise, a custom slope blur noise, and height in 3D Painter.

The entire system works procedurally, allowing flexibility for the look of the drops, size, and style.
