Adobe Substance Designer Overview

This program allows you to create materials with complete control and unlimited variations. Further, you can also Edit complete texture sets instantly and produce Substance textures and MDL materials that will directly handle your renderer or game engine.

This program also has a lot of great filters and tools for an adaptation to photogrammetry workflow. Substance Designer features a complete set of tools and filters, including Crop Tool, Color Equalizer Tool, Extract Channels filters (Multi-angle to Albedo, Multi-angle to Normal, Normal to Height), Smart Patch Clone Tool, and Smart Auto Tile Tool.

Using this software, you can import procedural SBS and sbsar files, hand-painted images, photographs, scans, and geometry (.fbx & .obj). No need to worry about tiling, either – Substance Designer handles it automatically.

Substance Designer features four graph types: Tiling textures, MDL materials, Math Functions, and Noise Editor. Edit complete texture sets instantly with the procedural node-based non-linear workflow. Want to change something while you're working? Make changes to any previous step while keeping your current work intact.
