What is Adobe Substance 3D?

Adobe Substance 3D is a collection of desktop applications for creating and texturing 3D content, including Painter for applying photorealistic textures with smart materials and advanced brushes, Designer for node-based procedural material and pattern creation, Sampler for turning real-world photos into 3D materials and lights, Stager for assembling and rendering photorealistic scenes, and Modeler for 3D sculpting in desktop or VR. Subscribers also get access to a library of thousands of ready-made 3D assets.

Substance 3D is sold through Adobe's own subscription plans rather than as a one-time purchase. The Collection for individuals plan costs $59.99 per month and includes all five apps plus 100GB of cloud storage, while the Collection for teams plan costs $119.99 per month per license with 1TB of storage. A discounted education offer is available for students and teachers, and Adobe offers a 30-day free trial of the full Collection.
