Reversible and non-linear approach to work
The node-based workflow allows for a variety of work approaches. Any step in the process can be changed later. Try all options, make adjustments at any time.

Limitless possibilities, endless combinations
Designer includes an extensive library of nodes for creating assets from scratch. Use thousands of assets from Substance 3D resources and the Substance 3D community.

Don't be limited by materials
Create dynamic 3D models or combine existing elements such as curves and kitbash models. Create parametric general lighting for use in any application supported by Substance 3D.

Integration into any workflow
Designer includes an advanced scripting API that allows you to tailor your application to your needs. Create and share powerful plugins using the integrated Python scripting interface. Create tools and tool maps to improve your process productivity.

Constantly expanding content library
Access to hundreds of nodes and filters. Create any surface with unique and randomized noises and patterns.

Creating HDR Lighting
Create parametrically lit scenes using procedural lights or spherical panoramic photos.

Color management
Take advantage of Pantone and OpenColorIO support.

MDL support
Create MDL materials using a custom shader map.

Sending materials
Send materials and filters to other Substance 3D applications to keep your project in sync with Designer.

Parametric modeling
This map allows you to create customizable and dynamic 3D models.
