The resulting files, known as “Substances," are a remarkably flexible solution for many 3D texturing needs including Video Game Design and Architectural Visualization. This latest version of Substance Designer is a must-have for anybody who is serious about working in 3D. Taught by 2D and 3D artist Jason Maranto, this VTC course is designed to quickly elevate your understanding of this powerful application. Focusing heavily on the sophisticated tools available within Substance Designer and taught in an in-depth but easy-to-follow style, this course will help you master Substance Designer to create 3D texture assets of unparalleled flexibility and power.
