About Adobe Substance 3D Designer
Substance 3D Designer is Adobe's application for creating parametric materials and textures with a node-based, non-destructive workflow. Artists build graphs that produce seamless materials, patterns, image filters and environment lights, and can generate many variations from the same graph.
It is used by professionals in games, film and product visualisation to author materials for 3D assets. It is available through the Adobe Substance 3D Collection plan, and a free trial is offered.
