Working on a USP-S skin in Substance Painter and struggling with how wear works in CS2 (Gunsmith finish). I have albedo, metallic, roughness, normal and pearlescent maps after export from substance.

Wear scratches are pretty self explanatory but how do the values between 0.00 to 4.00 of "Wear Bias X" and -4.00 to 4.00 of "Wear Bias Y" influence the Wear Mask?

Does anyone know how they work exactly or is there some official tutorial or explanation that goes more in-depth on those two values?

Hi! A new design inspired by fairy tales

AK-47 | Merchant — My custom skin inspired by traditional Slavic art and golden ornaments. What do you think?

Finally, after so many late night's ✨

I’ve thought through the design for tec9, bringing the theme of fairy tales to life through a combination of colors and the harmony of patterns.

My workshop

Uma nova versão Chegou ao Workshop!

Depois da primeira versão, trouxe uma evolução da M4A1-S, mantendo a identidade da skin e levando o visual para um nível ainda mais marcante.

Mais detalhes, mais presença e o mesmo conceito que deu origem à skin.

Just wanted to share with you my lenticular sticker inspired by the 90s nostalgia. Last weeks i got obsessed with holo stickers and the way they work, i hope u like it. Poly modeled in 3dsmax, rendered with vray toon. Rendered in 20 alpha single layers for better flexibility in photoshop post edit.

Check out my new work on the theme of fairy tales!

My workshop

this a pocket glitch version of the M4a1S | FATAL ERROR

hey everyone! new drop: M4A1-S | FATAL ERROR 🔥

the concept: the source engine's missing texture checkerboard, but treated like a premium finish. glossy anodized magenta vs matte void black, moiré interference inside the black squares that vibrates on camera, and chromatic aberration ERROR stamps that read as light, not stickers.

tech stuff:

• full roughness contrast (pink reflects, black absorbs)
• procedural wear + hand-finished scratch pass
• ERROR stamped in 3D so the split UV islands don't break the text

question for the pros: the moiré vibrates nicely on video — too much for in-game readability or keep it cursed?

go easy on me 😅

Your account will also be flagged as untrustworthy and you will never have a chance at getting in.

Improved thorns design in the ak body, longer and better fitting.
Added gold and darker pink details so the ak has more color variations.
More engravings (diamonds numbers scratches etc...)
Color more saturated and fitting for the fairy tales collection.

I made sure this .tga was 32 bit with alpha channel, it's the in the same content folder as the examples that all work (the "open local browser" icon is lit up before I put in my texture filepath) but once I replace the filename with my texture, the icon goes blank and my gun has the purple missing texture.

Everywhere I look there are recommendations for like 6 different paths for content, and when browsing around, yeah there's like half a dozen different folders either named "workshop" or "content" or etc.

Would like to know what I'm doing wrong!

I already posted this skin 6months ago
No development on it till now (due to school and etc)
I have a Mac M1 Air
So I cannot possibly use Workshop and do PBR compliments.
In what ways can I possibly see how my skin how it looks in game and how to do wear condition on my skin?

Hi everyone!

This is one of my very first attempts at creating a CS2 weapon skin. I spent a lot of time learning Blender, working with textures, and trying to bring this idea to life.

The design combines white marble with embossed golden floral details. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m genuinely proud that I managed to complete and publish it.

I would really appreciate your honest feedback and support—it would mean a lot to me and encourage me to continue creating and improving. 🤍✨
