Substance Designer is a revolutionary next generation tool for the creation of smart textures for 3D. Designed to fully leverage Raster, Vector, and Procedural image-making technologies along with advanced filtering techniques to create multichannel texture assets which can be dynamically changed by the end user at run time. The resulting files, known as âSubstances," are a remarkably flexible solution for many 3D texturing needs including Video Game Design and Architectural Visualization. This latest version of Substance Designer is a must-have for anybody who is serious about working in 3D. Taught by 2D and 3D artist Jason Maranto, this VTC course is designed to quickly elevate your understanding of this powerful application. Focusing heavily on the sophisticated tools available within Substance Designer and taught in an in-depth but easy-to-follow style, this course will help you master Substance Designer to create 3D texture assets of unparalleled flexibility and power.
