Character Creator shader nodes, explained
If you would like to set up a custom UI for your character like the one seen in this video, you can get the addon for free on GitHub. Some of the features don't work correctly in Blender 3.3, for example, I had to basically rebuild the whole clothing system. I'll detail that in a future video. But it's still a great addon for this sort of thing.

ArmorPaint and ArmorLab: open-source alternative to Adobe Substance
v0.9 might have changed a thing or two, but my experiences:
- irritating camera controls, difficult to account for unit scales outside of unity/unreal expectations (good luck painting something measured in HU), overall anaemic 3d viewport
- file loads block the whole app so have fun importing 8192x8192 textures
- good luck getting the results you want out of half the tools
- layer system is truly baffling
- overall doesn't feel like an alpha but a pre-alpha. charging for the binaries isn't charging for a piece of software worth $19; it's charging to not be forced to install visual studio on your windows machine. if you are on nixos, a ready-made nix expression [1] exists to let you take it out for a spin
- armorpaint being as miserable as it was let me to discover layer painter for blender [2] which is an infinitely superior experience and you can patch things into the shader workflows you've already accounted for in blender
