hello!

I followed a tutorial to make a brushed stainless steel in blender:

It looks ok, but in Vergo3d it look bad. Please see my video about this:

What are my options here? Can I buy a perfect brushed stainless steel material to Verge3d from somewhere?

Or should i go with some other method to crete this material in blender?
like this maybe?

Not all techniques a suitable for Verge3D and WebGL. You can find a library of approved materials in our shop called Verge3D for Blender: Essential Material Pack. There you can find an example of brushed steel.

All solution that uses bump node will poor looking because of WebGl specific.

Mikhail, it is better to bake the nodes into metal, rough and normal texture and then create a PBR material using baked textures with a principled shader?

In regard to creating materials for WebGI, does Substance Painter produce better materials than native Blender shader nodes?

You can use Substance Painter or make all using Blender nodes, the big problem is only a Bump node, use baked normal maps instead.
