link for tut https://youtu.be/bpsLg44gSg8 Creating a brick material in Substance Designer thx to Wes McDermott for making these entry level tuts they are a huge help. im planning to just flood my brain with this program untill it just spills over. practice practice and eventually it will just be there right. thats how you do anything. yes there is complexity here but its worth it. its also fun to see things build up as you go. that gradient color ramp node is like color magic. its a trip. slope blur and directional warps are wild as well. hopefully once i do enough of these tuts ill have the most used nodes in my memory good enough to start doing stuff. im getting there for sure.
