What is Substance Player?

Substance Player

Substance Player is a super handy software tool that helps you create texture variations and export them as image files. It's perfect if you're into design or 3D modeling!

Getting Started with Substance Player

The installation might take a bit, but it’s pretty straightforward. Once it’s done, you’ll see a cool fullscreen window with a dark theme that looks really professional. You can kick things off by picking your rendering engine.

Explore Sample Designs

The app comes loaded with a sample design right away, which you can view in 3D. Plus, Substance Player includes a few other samples for you to play around with! And if you have textures from different file types, like bitmaps without Substance metadata files, you can easily import those too.

Modify Geometry and Materials

You can get creative by modifying the object's geometry. It lets you load meshes from AutoDesk, 3DS, AutoCAD, and Collada. You can rebuild materials and even edit the scene settings like lights and environment. Want to change your viewing angle? No problem! You can hide the grid or enable features like axis lines and bounding boxes.

Tweak Your Textures

When it comes to textures, there are tons of options to adjust! You can set the output size and mess around with things like random seed, dirt levels, fibers, knots—basically everything from depth to hue shift. You’ll also be able to view textures in various modes such as diffuse, specular, normal, bump, displacement or height mode.

Exporting Your Work

Once you're happy with your settings, saving your project is easy! You can export it as a bitmap image in formats like BMP, DDS, ICO, JPG or JIF. There's also an option to include or exclude different outputs during the export process.
