Substance Designer: The Texturing Toolbox is the only software solution dedicated to texturing, allowing to boost productivity and create high quality maps for next generation 3D pipelines.
Allegorithmic’s Substance technology offers a new take on the traditional asset creation process for 3D graphics. Instead of creating fixed, immutable bitmaps for use as textures, a Substance is a live, dynamic asset which can be modified even on-demand, be it at install-time, load-time or even at run-time.
The result is a far more flexible, much more powerful type of asset specially suited for the next gen-eration of 3D graphics.
The key is the combination of traditional bitmaps, vector images, and procedural texture tech-nologies. Substances are a hybrid asset combining both traditional and procedural elements.
Substances are a revolution in 3D graphics. A scene with individual spring, summer and winter tex-tures would need three sets of traditional bitmaps. The same scene would need only one set of suit-ably designed Substances.
Substances are XML files containing descriptions of how the texture is synthesized. The final render into bitmap form is moved into the modeling package or 3D game engine, giving unprecedented con-trol over the final results in real-time.
Substances are stored as descriptions, in a text file, rather than as a fixed set of bitmaps.
