Substance Painter can massively boost your 3D design output, and at marketing agency Digitas, Studio Lead Nathan Dill calls it “the Photoshop tool for 3D artists.”

The intuitive UI, creative workflow and its seamless integration with other 3D apps, along with the generators, texture baking and capacity to displace and create geometry, have all led to enhanced creative work by his team.

Substance 3D Painter is the go-to 3D texturing app for retail creatives. Used widely in product design and fashion, it gives you the tools you need to paint 3D textures on models and meshes in real time, helping you achieve the look you need with ease.

The app’s advanced brushes and Smart Materials adjust automatically to any model to depict realistic surface detail or wear and tear – and it works smoothly with other Adobe Creative Cloud tools like Photoshop or Illustrator.

At a time when we were all missing our summer barbeques, Material Artist Abderrezak Bouhedda designed an incredibly realistic 3D flame grill scene, including delicious-looking burgers and sausages, all using Substance 3D Designer.

Designer is the industry-standard parametric authoring tool, giving users unparalleled artistic control over the creation of materials, image filters, and dynamic geometry.

Through the power of procedural creation, artists like Abderrezak can create materials, models, and lighting environments with the total control of node-based authoring.

Create your assets from scratch, or by combining multiple materials and parametric filters to create more advanced surfaces.
