Adobe Substance 3D Designer Overview
3D Assets Creation. Limitless. Create, iterate. Substance Designer is the Ultimate 3D Material Authoring
and Scan Processing Tool. It has become the standard in the entertainment industry for PBR material
authoring.
Features of Adobe Substance 3D Designer
- Discover the power of procedural creation.
With Substance 3D Designer, create
seamless materials and patterns, image filters, environment lights, or even 3D models. Each asset
can output infinite variations.
- The industry standard for material authoring.
Substance 3D Designer is used
across many industries and is at the center of most video game and visual effects material
pipelines. Substance parametric materials are supported in most 3D creation tools and will integrate
seamlessly into any workflow. Send your materials directly to Substance 3D Painter and Stager.

- Nondestructive, nonlinear.
The node-based workflow allows you to use a wide
range of approaches. Any step of the process can always be modified later. Try everything, adjust
anytime.
- Endless possibilities, infinite combinations.
Designer comes with a rich node
library to create your assets from scratch. Build upon and learn from thousands of materials from
Substance 3D Assets and Substance 3D Community Assets.
- Go beyond materials.
Generate dynamic 3D models, or combine existing elements
like curves and kitbash models. Create parametric environment lights to use in any app supported by
Substance 3D.
- Integrates into any workflow.
Designer comes with an extensive scripting API so
you can tailor the app to your needs. Build and share powerful plugins with the integrated Python
scripting interface. Create tools and utility graphs to supercharge your pipeline.
- An ever-growing library of content
Access hundreds of nodes and filters. Create
any surface with unique and randomizable noises and patterns.
- HDR lighting creation
Create parametric lighting stages using procedural lights
or 360° photos.
- Color management
Take advantage of Pantone and OpenColorIO support.
- MDL support
Create MDL materials with the dedicated shader graph.
- Send-to
Send materials and filters to other Substance 3D applications, allowing
you to iterate in context with Designer.
- Parametric modeling (beta)
This graph lets you generate customizable and dynamic
3D models.
