How Can I Create A Simple Leather Material Using Substance Designer?

Pietro Chiovaro replies

Today I will show you the full process for creating a simple leather material using Substance Designer. For this type of material, I selected the Physically Based (Metallic/Roughness) Graph Template and deleted the Metallic output, since it isn’t necessary here.

At this point we can now start to add these nodes from the Substance Designer library: the Cells 3 and BnW Spots 1 noises (these two are the main elements of the material), the Height to Normal World Units filter, four Levels filters, a Blend filter and last but not the least the Gradient Map filter.
