Substance 3D PainterSubstance 3D Painter is the next generation of game texturing software. From advanced brushes to smart materials that automatically adapt to your model, Substance 3D Painter has the tools you need to texture your 3D assets. Bring your artwork to life.

Recently, Adobe officially released the Substance 3D series of creation software, which will help designers and artists better express their creative ideas, stimulate creativity, and further unleash productivity.

Software Introduction

The Adobe Substance 3D suite of applications provides a 3D toolset for both professionals and entry-level users, seamlessly integrated into the Creative Cloud ecosystem. Substance 3D includes four software packages: Adobe Substance 3D Stager, Adobe Substance 3D Painter, Adobe Substance 3D Sampler, and Adobe Substance 3D Designer.

There is also the Substance 3D asset library, which includes tens of thousands of stylized, ready-to-use 3D models, materials, and lighting environments, providing artists with rich resource support. Users can also adjust parameters at will to achieve unlimited creative possibilities.

Adobe Substance 3D Stager supports ray tracing, allowing users to position models in 3D scenes, obtain extremely realistic lighting effects, and render images from the created scenes; Adobe Substance 3D Painter allows users to apply delicate textures and materials to 3D models; Adobe Substance 3D Sampler allows users to create materials from real-world objects; Adobe Substance 3D Designer allows users to create dynamic textures and materials using graphics.

The Substance suite has already been used in the development of a series of AAA games and films, including Microsoft's Flight Simulator and Hollywood films like "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and "Blade Runner 2049." The Adobe Substance 3D software suite also has broad application scenarios. For example, the e-commerce industry uses Adobe Substance 3D for a complete solution from 3D asset creation to rendering, enabling the production of high-quality virtual imagery.

Adobe prioritizes creativity and believes that the Substance 3D software suite will inspire more people to express unique perspectives and unleash their creativity. At this event, Adobe also announced updates to its Creative Cloud products, which are also worth noting.
