![]() ![]() One last thing to mention is Bitmap2Material that will generate all the PBR outputs from a single input image…įor your barrel example, you probably want to use Painter to create the PBR outputs and apply them in UE4 using a the standard PBR material. Creating the PBR outputs (Diffuse, Normal, Metallic, Roughness,etc…) is a pain to do by hand - painter lets you focus on PAINTING and not all the other stuff… Rather than several different materials applied to different parts of the model. Designer has already helped me to edit & enhance several of my props, but editing Genesis in Painter was still quite a challenge at first also. You can paint multiple substances on the mesh, and they are all combined into a single set of PBR outputs.įor performance reasons it is typically best to have a single set of PBR materials for a given model. ![]() Painter is designed to help you create the PBR materials for a specific mesh. UE4 Material applies shading using textures as inputs. In the end, Designer always outputs textures that have to be applied via some kind of material shader. Substance 3D Designer is primarily a material authoring software that generates textures from procedural patterns inside node-based graphs. Designer is what I worry for the most about this Adobe thing. I cant think of anything that does procedural textures the same way other than what you get inside most 3d apps (blender / modo / so on). ![]() Substances can also be created at runtime - this is useful to keep the binary small or to create effects that might change over time. ago As far as I know there is no alternative to Designer. Substance Designer can create much larger and more complex textures that can then be baked and then applied at runtime via a UE4 Material. There is some capability crossover with the built-in UE4 Material Editor - but, in general, the built-in UE4 material editor lets you generate shaders that are applied at runtime. Designer lets you generate parametric textures at both runtime and design-time.
