Substance Painter

Substance Painter is an awesome tool for anyone into 3D and texture painting. It gives you all the tools you need to create cool materials and brushes. Plus, it supports high-resolution painting, so you can map out your brush strokes and tweak individual parts of a model easily. The best part? Your workflow gets a boost from its layer-based painting process!

Intuitive Interface for Easy Use

This software makes it super simple to whip up and manage your 3D paintings thanks to its user-friendly interface. You’ll find various workspaces like a brush selector, texture control panels, materials picker, and properties editor right at your fingertips.

Previewing Like a Pro

One of the standout features is the powerful previewing area. You can load your painting in a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) viewport, which helps give accurate feedback on how your materials and textures will look in real life. You even have the option to break down your painting into segments and map textures or materials accordingly.

Specialized Materials Just for You

The materials in Substance Painter act as specialized layers that replicate settings for each section of the mesh you’re working with. This means you can easily transfer parts of your design from one area to another—think clothes design or reflections!

Create 3D Models Fast

If you're starting fresh with a 3D model, this program lets you get going quickly by focusing on texturing first. You can choose from template shaders or import your own presets. Want more customization? No problem! You can create custom channels to paint on too.

Add Realistic Details with Particle Painting

A cool feature is particle painting that lets you add realistic details like dust traces, glass cracks, rain effects, or even facial hair directly onto your models.

Advanced Effects at Your Fingertips

With Substance Painter, adding lifelike effects becomes easy-peasy! Its advanced material painting tools let you use parametric masks or sculpt normal maps effortlessly. And did I mention the intuitive interface? You can arrange detached panels however suits your style best!

Your Gateway to Realistic Textures

The Physical-based viewport gives you an excellent way to preview how textures render along with reflections and material effects before finalizing anything.
