About
Create 3D materials, models, and lighting environments with full node-based authoring control. Substance 3D Designer is used in many industries and is at the core of most video games and visual effects production pipelines. Substance materials are supported in most 3D creation tools and easily integrate into any workflow. Send your materials directly to Substance 3D Painter and Substance 3D Stager.
Non-destructive workflow
The node-based workflow allows for a wide range of approaches. Any step of the process can always be changed later. Try everything and adjust at any time.
Ever-growing content library
Use hundreds of nodes and filters. Create any surface with unique random noises and patterns.
Don't be limited by materials
Create parametric 3D models or combine existing elements such as curves and kitbash models. Create parametric lights for use in any Substance-enabled application.
Integrates into your workflow
Designer comes with an extensive set of scripting APIs, allowing you to tailor the application to your needs. Create and share powerful plugins using the built-in Python scripting interface. Create tools and schedules to organize your pipeline.
