Digital Material with the Substance Tools

on YouTube ↗53m

" summary

Demonstrations show the Substance ecosystem producing editable, real-time materials in Unreal: a live link between UE4 and Substance Painter sends a mesh (a demo goat) and applies anchor-point–driven smart materials that update immediately; Substance Designer exports parametric SBSARs and a pattern generator drives a carpet material inside Unreal; Substance Source supplies over 1,800 tweakable assets and presets; and Project Archivist (beta) generates PBR materials from photos with AI de-lighting, tiling fixes and clone patches, then exports working materials back into Unreal.
