Adobe Substance 3D Painter Reviews & Product Details

The substance painter is easy to learn; just like photoshop, you are painting on your 3d models. The most significant benefit of substance painters is their work on real-time renters. I have used substance painter for the past few years. Another most prominent feature is it works on multiple platforms, and we can export our textures on numerous platforms such as vray, Arnold, unreal engine, etc... The smart materials helps my work ever faster and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work for texturing my hard surface models into realistic by adding details on them, and I'm 100 percent satisfied. I couldn't find any mistakes on substance painter. As a 3d artist, I'm so happy with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Substance 3D Painter is the reference texturing app for 3D professionals and enthusiasts. I used past few years during texturing. It's too flexible and easy to use . all tools are too good, and so many options to flexible my texturing process, .and the most liked part are Real-Time Render Preview.

There are no cons to describing. There are a lot of features that can be used for texture and also 3d real-time render view.

The entire software is good. There is no doubt about to do for dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Substance painter is an excellent piece of software for adding materials and color to your 3D models. It's resource management for your assets is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At its core, Substance Painter is clunky. It's very resource-heavy for the average user and can be challenging to work in if the computer's hardware wasn't built for 3D work. Additionally, Adobe's render engine is still terrible. On an average PC or Mac, you can expect long wait times during renders, and you'd better hope you did it right the first time, or you'll be waiting even longer to re-render a project.

It's the go-to texturing application at the moment. Fast and userfriendly. Smart-materials and masks makes the texturing process incredibly procedural. With each update, it's getting closer to become industry standard for asset development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limitations like resolution limit, and no API support which prevents it from being included in complex high-fidelity project pipeline and asset development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

one of the best things i like is the seamless integration it has with blender, the normal maps are easy to edit, and the real time ray traced views work very well, although you need a good graphics card to appreciate all the potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes small errors are generated in the triangular plots, I understand that this has always been a modeling problem, but one hopes to be able to solve it with the uv map Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the new functions added in the last version, the tool is easy to handle, the realism that you can achieve in 3D models is impressive, and more than that, the software can generate the UV maps of the 3D models without the need to do them in third party programs and the ease of communication between the different software that are called plugins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The truth is that there is very little to talk about the bad of this digital painting tool since it is practically a professional software but the only thing that I did not like was the replacement of the icons of the suite of these programs managed by ADOBE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so much easier painting in 3d rather than doing paint over 2d and going back and forth in different programs to check the texture. It has become so easier working like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel environment light that rotates horizontally could be better. I wish I could rotate it anywhere like unreal engine upside down or vertically. And then there is lack in number of fonts for texturing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a lot to appreciate when it comes to Substance Painter. It's easy to load your pre-existing high-res or low-res meshes, maps, and custom materials into the app and get right into developing high-quality textured assets. The tools are simple enough to engage with, and there's quite a bit of nuance to each one. You can also download assets from both Adobe and the strong community of users that upload their custom generators, materials, brushes, alphas, and so on. Substance Painter can perform well even on a mid-range machine, so you won't need to worry about having the absolute best hardware to do the job. Still, you will find that texture resolution will be clamped to a level based on your graphics card's abilities, likely for stability purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had some stability issues since moving to the Adobe version, but I'm hoping that's just a transitional thing that will sort itself out over time. Crashing while exporting isn't entirely new to Substance when you're working at high resolution but it does seem to happen more frequently since the changeover was made.

The learning curve seemed to be relatively short on Substance Painter. I was able to watch some videos (even the outdated ones) and still learn how to use a function. If something seemed hard to find based on outdated tutorials, a quick search seemed to do the trick in seeing what I wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the software having so many options and functions, it does make it difficult trying to navigate around and find the right tool or a setting from time to time if you don't use it daily. If I took a break for a couple of weeks or more, I would spend a good fifteen minutes trying to remember how I did something. Another feature I dislike isn't strictly linked to Substance Painter but more the practice of subscription licenses instead of being able to buy a license once and have it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So much user friendly, very much optimized, we can quickly see our textured objects with great HDRI lighting in so much less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's isn't anything much to dislike about the software. But it's hard to get good tutorials on them, like sidefx have a great library of tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
