How does the tool work?

1. Import the .Sbsar in your graph, it's recommended over the sbs for optimization purposes.
2. Set up the frame with the provided control parameters.
   • Define the amount of anchor point.
   • Use the point controller on the 2D view to create your base frame
   • Use the Center point to place your web on your frame
   • Set the secondary frame depth globally and add some randomness if needed (you can fine-tune it by anchor later)
   • Adjust tension for the frame and the secondary spline
3. Setup the web via the different control parameter:
   • Set the amount of supporting strings with the Radial Amount parameter.
   • Use the spiral amount to adjust the Cell of your web
   • Adjust Spiral Radius and Inner radius to adjust the size of your web
   • Use the spiral shape parameters to strech your web.
   • Use the stretching parameters to deform the spiderweb based on the frame itself.
   • You can then change the thickness and add some chaos in your cell
4. Add some gravity to give a more natural look
   • Global gravity to add the gravity system to the global webspider
   • Fine-tune the visuals by controlling the gravity per feature with a control for Secondary frame, Radial spline and the web itself
5. Fine tune the final look of your spider by controlling the secondary frame per anchor point via the anchor parameters
   • Display the anchor name via the anchor label parameters
   • activate desactivate secondary frame by needs
   • Modify the frame depth for the desired anchor point
6. Use the output as you need !

Contents:

• .Sbsar file (Studios licence also includes the sbs files )
• Demo gif

Important notes:

The generator is a performance heavy, it's recommended to setup the web in a lower resolution first.
This generator export a simple B&W mask. The dew effect and final render showed as example are not included.

Substance Designer 15.0.3 or newer is required.
