The program is intended for creation of complex nonlinear procedural textures. The program allows you to mix and manipulate bitmaps, vector images and procedural elements. Textures created with Substance Designer are dynamic, ie they can be freely modified at any stage of creation. In this case, the user automatically receives the output different cards - diffuse, Normal, specular, etc.
Program developers have built into it a large number of templates and filters, which greatly simplify the work of the designer. There are for example, such filters "Bitpam in material", "Dynamic shadows", "rust", etc. Package "Substance Designer" also includes the application "Substance Player" to view your created texture, as well as included in the package of training textures.
Substance Designer supports importing textures of programs such as Photoshop, 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, Unity 3.4 (or higher). The program allows for real-time to make changes and apply effects. In addition, support vector image format and can work with layers.
