#Free Material UI Template

The Sims 3 Material Painter Final Version

UPDATE

I've updated the painter, and with it, included some new things as well as a fully interactive tutorial on how to use it.

NEEDED Prerequisites:

Blender 4.2+

Blender Paint System Addon - HERE (you can donate to the original creator, or get it for free, great little plugin!)

THE TUTORIAL

The tutorial is extensive, done in numbered steps, and is UI and workflow oriented, allowing you to click on any relevant UI element to learn more about it, and how it relates to the complete workflow. There's an additional, advanced chapter, for people who are interested in learning more about blender texture painter's functionality and techniques.

PAINTER ADDITIONS

The Painter has been slightly fixed, with multiplier's lines and depth shading being shifted to the correct depth, and with AO being more pronounced. This will make multiplier output even more accurate. Added some new minor tweaks to UI and Color Palettes to accommodate for the tutorial.

DOWNLOAD

Get updated templates with new files HERE!

If you only want to access the tutorial, you can do it HERE.

You can access the original post below:

Been working on a tool that easily creates The Sims 3 material maps based only on a few texture layers, most of it derived from height data. This was done long time ago, but very sloppily, and it was not at all approachable.

Discovering THIS free blender add-on that lets you plaint layers in it, made me return to this project and finalize it for release.

The tool can export:

- Multiplier, RGB+A

- Normal Map, RGB+A

- CAST Map, RGB+A

- Specular Map

- Overlay, RGB+A

OLD VERSION BELOW!

//~~Get it HERE, and please, make sure to get THIS blender plugin, it's NEEDED for this to work. Blender 4.2+ is also needed for these to work together.~~//

resources I'm using for studying japanese

vocab/kanji:

wanikani: I use daily reviews to learn kanji and vocabulary using the kanji. This resource isn't free, but this has really helped me stay consistent. I like the UI and find the content helpful

renshuu: this is my favorite mobile app, I use this to learn JLPT-specific vocab and kanji. I use the free version

mochi srs: the best flashcard app! The UI is super easy to use and has lots of shortcuts for making and reviewing cards fast. You can easily create and edit templates for cards, and have cards reference other cards. I have a deck for kanji and one for vocab, and my vocab template references any kanji that are used in the vocab tab. There's also super easy furigana, lots of features for japanese.

grammar:

bunpro: really good for grammar, this has lessons for each grammar rule and divides them into groups through popular textbooks and their own groupings for jlpt grammar

genki textbooks: pretty standard textbook for learning vocab, grammar, and kanji

genki study resources: great site with activities for all the genki lessons

tokini andy genki reviews: extra practice for genki lessons, explains some grammar more clearly, introduces new dialogue.

reading:

japanese folktales for language learners and japanese stories for language learners: folktales are a really great way to learn, because these references come up a lot. I've seen references to urashimo taro in evangelion, and the new pokemon dlc is a reference to momotaro. This book has the japanese on one page and english on the other, with vocabulary after the chapter. (here and here on natively)

animal crossing new leaf tobimori: I've recently started playing this and it's so much fun. I'm already really familiar with the game so I don't depend on any of the text for playing, and it's good for more common expressions, differences in speech between polite/casual/male/female etc. I have a post describing how I'm able to play this here. (here on lingotrack)

listening:

japanese with shun: big fan of this podcast, it's free on spotify and youtube, which scripts on patreon. Each podcast is about a short subject, and they're all in japanese. (here on lingotrack)

learn japanese pod: some free podcasts on spotify with more paid content, this one is both about japanese and in japanese. It will teach phrases for specific scenarios, like ordering sushi or refusing situations.

tracking:

lingotrack: I started time tracking a couple of months ago and it's been so helpful! This site is great for quickly logging study activities and seeing how the time stacks up. It helps me identify which areas I'm spending enough time in and which ones are lacking. I also use the library section for keeping track of my japanese native content

toggl: I use this online stopwatch for tracking the time for different study activities so I can log them in lingotrack. It also has a browser extension which I usually use

finding native content:

natively: excellent site for finding comprehensible input content and tracking days read. This site has a lot of reviews for books so it makes it easy to find books that are on level. You can follow me here

lingotrack: collections in lingotrack provides user generated groups of content so that you can create an see groupings of native material content. There aren't as many reviews for material here as there are for natively though, so I find material there and then add them here. You can follow me here

other:

tofugu: this blog has everything. Use it for finding reviews on japanese language resources, learning grammar rules, etc.

jisho: dictionary app, I use it as my source of truth for vocab and kanji meanings

heisig's remembering the kanji: a different approach to learning kanji, this focuses on first teaching the simplest kanji and building from ones you already know. This is different from wanikani, which will make sure you know (its own) particles before introducing the kanji that uses them, but focuses on learning kanji and vocab in priority order. I'm listing it here because I don't use it much anymore

deepl: ai translator, works much better than google translate. You can also put sentences in chatgpt and ask it for broken down explanations. Take any translations from ai with a grain of salt - they are great tools but do not ensure accuracy

edit 3/10/2024: added tracking and native content sections, added links to lingotrack and natively for media

How to make Tattoos/Skin Textures for Final Fantasy 14

Hi there! I made a video about this a long time ago, essentially it is still the same work flow even though the Textools UI has changed a little bit with the Dawntrail update. Please mind that the video is a little old, recorded with a free software and I personally have zero editing skills. From experience and from what other creators told me it helped them a lot so I would like to bring it to more people and share my wisdom. This is a "beginners guide" for now, I can and will expand on it if necessary. You're always welcome to ask me questions. Join my discord or send me a dm! Let's start with what we need to make a tattoo/skin texture:

- Textools - Final Fantasy 14 with subscribtion - Substance Painter - Any Photo editor (Photopea is a free Photoshop online clone) - Not required but it could help: my videos

Step 1

Open your fbx in Substance Painter by clicking "Open" then "New" or Ctrl + N, with the following settings: PBR Metallic Roughness (Starter Assets) Resolution 2048 You can find the Bibo+, Gen3 and TBSE .fbx file here!

Step 2

Import your assets by dragging and dropping them into the Asset Library, then set them to "Texture" and import into your preferred Asset Library Category.

Step 3

Drawing: You can draw directly onto the 3D model and on the UV/2D planes. For that create a paint layer, select your brush, set your color in "base color". Assets: You can drag and drop your assets onto the 3D model, then select "Base color". This will project the asset in 3D. You can change the projection properties on the right under your layer selection or by right clicking in either of the windows. You can also create a "Paint Layer" and drag and drop the asset into the "Base color" slot. This will replace the fill color with the asset. Please make sure to make linework have a transparent background before using your assets.

Step 4

Whenever you're done arranging your tattoos/textures, it is time to export. Export with the following settings: - Output template: Document channels + Normal + AO (With Alpha) - Size: 2048 is more than enough for skin textures in FF14!! 4096 is almost overkill but will result in better quality, if you're a Mare user, please don't blast others with a 4k tattoo/skin texture unless it's really necessary - Padding: Dilation + Transparent

Step 5

Export the Skin Diffuse Material from Textools by selecting Character then choose your Characters race and gender. Midlanders share their skin material with Miqote and Elezen.

Step 6

Open a photo editor of your choice, open the skin Diffuse png and your Substance Painter Export. Adjust the layers if needeed so your tattoo/skin texture is above the skin texture. Export as png.

Step 7

Replace the Skin Diffuse png with the one you've just created, save to FFXIV to apply your changes to the game files and then launch the game to check the results!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to DM me here or on discord @arimaemae

How Much Should You Budget for Professional Graphic Design?

One of the first questions businesses ask when exploring creative services is: How much should we budget for graphic design? The answer, of course, depends on your goals, the complexity of your needs, and the scale of your brand. But one thing is universal—design is not an expense, it's an investment.

Whether you're a startup, SME, or growing enterprise, allocating the right budget for design can dramatically improve brand perception, engagement, and conversion rates. That’s why more businesses today are opting for professional Graphic Designing Services that combine creativity with strategic impact.

So, what should you realistically expect to pay—and what should your money get you?

1. The Real Cost of “Cheap” Design

Before we dive into actual numbers, let’s address a common trap: going with the lowest bidder or a free tool. While platforms like Canva and Fiverr might seem cost-effective, they rarely deliver strategic, brand-aligned visuals. Inconsistent quality, rushed turnarounds, and lack of customisation often lead to rework—costing more in time and money down the line.

Bad design costs you far more than just your initial spend. It affects your credibility, conversion rates, and even internal confidence in your brand assets.

2. Budget Ranges by Type of Design Need

Let’s break it down by common business needs so you can estimate based on your current phase and goals:

a. Logo and Brand Identity Design

Freelancer/DIY: ₹5,000–₹15,000 (limited revisions, no strategy)

Professional Agency: ₹30,000–₹1,00,000+ Includes logo, brand colours, fonts, tone, and guidelines.

b. Marketing Collateral (Flyers, Brochures, Banners)

Per piece: ₹1,500–₹5,000 for freelancers

Agency Packages: ₹15,000–₹50,000+ for bundles Custom design, aligned with campaigns, print/web versions.

c. Social Media Creative Packages

Monthly freelancers: ₹8,000–₹20,000/month

Agencies: ₹25,000–₹80,000/month Includes post templates, stories, reels thumbnails, carousels.

d. Website UI/UX Design

Freelancers: ₹30,000–₹60,000 for basic landing pages

Design studios: ₹80,000–₹3,00,000+ for full websites High impact on brand identity and conversions.

e. Pitch Decks and Presentations

Basic formatting: ₹5,000–₹15,000

Custom-designed decks: ₹20,000–₹75,000+ Visual storytelling, layout strategy, brand-aligned visuals.

3. How to Decide Your Design Budget

Ask yourself these questions:

How important is visual appeal in influencing customer decisions in your industry?

How many channels (web, social, print) do you use regularly?

Do you have in-house design support or is this your only design source?

Are you building a brand or refreshing one?

What is the cost of not investing in good design (missed conversions, trust issues, inconsistent messaging)?

The more you rely on visuals to sell or explain—whether it's a product or an idea—the more important your design budget becomes.

4. Retainers vs. One-Time Projects

If you have ongoing design needs, consider a monthly retainer. These are predictable and typically more cost-efficient than hiring per project.

Common retainer inclusions:

Fixed number of design hours/month

Priority turnarounds

Brand style management

Asset library access

Rates for retainers can range from ₹30,000/month for startups to ₹1,00,000+ for growing companies with broad visual needs.

5. What You’re Really Paying For

Professional design isn’t just about the final image—it’s about the process:

Research & creative strategy

Design thinking & layout logic

Feedback and revision management

Consistency across platforms

Files in every required format (print, web, editable)

A professional design agency will also ensure that your materials do the job—whether that’s converting leads, educating users, or making your brand memorable.

Conclusion: Budget for Value, Not Just Output

Your design budget should reflect the value visuals bring to your business. Whether you need a full rebrand or ongoing social creatives, budgeting smartly helps you avoid the pitfalls of poor design and unlock the benefits of memorable branding.

If you’re unsure how to scope or price your next project, our team offers flexible packages and strategic consultations to guide your investment. Explore our Graphic Designing Services to see how we align creativity with your business outcomes—without the guesswork.

Why Adelaide Businesses Need Strong Graphic Design to Stand Out in 2025?

In 2025, the competition for attention is fiercer than ever. Whether you're a local café in Glenelg or a startup in the heart of Adelaide CBD, standing out visually is not just a nice-to-have—it’s a must. That’s why investing in a graphic design company in Adelaide is one of the smartest moves your business can make.

First Impressions Happen in 3 Seconds

Studies show that it takes only 3 seconds for someone to form an opinion about your brand. And in most cases, that opinion is based entirely on visual design—your logo, website, social media graphics, and print materials. Poor design gives the impression of a careless or outdated business. Strong design, on the other hand, communicates professionalism, trustworthiness, and relevance.

This is where a graphic design agency in Adelaide, like 10xDigitals becomes a game-changer. They understand not just design, but design that speaks directly to the Adelaide market and its unique audience.

Why Strong Graphic Design Matters in 2025

Here are a few key reasons why graphic design should be a priority for your business this year:

1. Increased Digital Competition

More Adelaide businesses are going digital. E-commerce, online booking, and mobile-first branding are now the norm. If your digital presence looks outdated or cluttered, your potential customers will choose a competitor that looks more polished.

2. Brand Consistency Builds Trust

Consistency across all marketing materials builds credibility. Whether it's your Instagram posts, email banners, or signage, every piece of design needs to reflect your brand identity. A skilled graphic design company in Adelaide ensures your visuals are aligned and consistent.

3. Better Engagement on Social Media

Posts with eye-catching visuals get far more engagement than text-only content. With Adelaide’s market becoming more active on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, visually strong branding is essential to generate likes, shares, and ultimately, leads.

4. Higher Conversions Through UI/UX Design

Good graphic design goes beyond beauty—it influences behaviour. A sleek landing page layout, smart use of colour, and intuitive navigation can significantly increase conversions. A professional graphic design agency in Adelaide can optimise your digital touchpoints for maximum results.

Why Work With 10xDigitals?

If you're looking for a top-tier graphic design company in Adelaide, 10xDigitals is a trusted choice. They don’t just create pretty visuals—they craft brand experiences.

Here’s what makes them stand out:

Local Expertise: As a locally based agency, they understand Adelaide’s diverse business landscape, from small local brands to large enterprises.

Tailored Solutions: Whether you need a logo refresh, social media templates, or a complete visual identity, their solutions are customised for your business goals.

Creative + Strategic: Their team combines artistic creativity with marketing strategy, so your designs don’t just look good—they work.

Industries in Adelaide That Benefit from Strong Design

Every business in Adelaide can benefit from graphic design, but here are a few industries where it’s essential:

Hospitality: Restaurants, cafes, and bars need compelling menus, signage, and social media graphics.

Retail: Visual merchandising, packaging, and promotional materials help boost sales.

Health & Wellness: Clinics and wellness studios require clean, calming design to build trust.

Real Estate: Flyers, digital ads, and branding elements are crucial to standing out in a saturated market.

Whether you’re a well-established business or a fresh startup, a solid design strategy can drive your message home.

Key Elements of Strong Graphic Design in 2025

To stay ahead in 2025, Adelaide businesses should focus on these design elements:

Minimalism: Clean, clutter-free design is easier to digest and appears more modern.

Bold Typography: Big, legible fonts help your message stand out.

Mobile Optimization: Graphics must look great on all devices.

Storytelling through Visuals: Use graphics to tell your brand story in an emotional, human way.

Sustainable Design: Eco-conscious branding and packaging design are becoming a priority for modern customers.

Don't DIY – Why You Need a Pro

You might be tempted to use free tools or templates to create your brand visuals. While that might save money upfront, poor design can cost you in the long run—missed opportunities, lower conversions, and a weak brand image.

Partnering with a professional graphic design company in Adelaide, like 10xDigitals, ensures that your business puts its best face forward. You gain access to experienced designers who understand both aesthetics and function.

Final Thoughts

Adelaide is bursting with innovation, creativity, and business potential. But to truly stand out in 2025, your brand needs more than just great products or services—it needs great design.

Don’t let your visuals fall flat. Whether you're rebranding or just starting, now is the time to invest in your brand identity. Let 10xDigitals, the leading graphic design agency in Adelaide, help you design a future where your brand shines.
