New Text to Texture in Substance Sampler

Substance 3D Sampler 4.4 introduces a new Text-to-Texture feature, powered by Adobe Firefly—a significant advancement in the use of generative AI for 3D professionals. Turn text prompts into photorealistic textures and develop them without requiring a physical photo or scan or reference. It’s as simple as writing what you want in the prompt and generating a selection of image choices.


Enhanced VR Experiences in Modeler 1.4

You can now immerse yourself with reference images for accuracy or inspiration when modelling in VR. This highly requested feature makes it possible to drag and drop images into your 3D scene for reference when working within the VR workspace.


Generative backgrounds in Substance Stager

Substance 3D Stager 3.0 introduces Generative Background, powered by Adobe Firefly, enabling you to create scene backgrounds with simple text descriptions. You can easily composite 3D objects and scenes in front of generated backgrounds without leaving Stager to search for stock images. Once you've selected a background, you can match lighting, customize details and even the perspective, to integrate the scene with the background in a cohesive way.


The future of 3D product visualization

Substance 3D tools and materials have transformed product design visualization workflows. Today it’s faster and easier to create photorealistic and accurate 3D virtualizations of product designs. This allows designers and their teams to quickly inspect and share models from multiple sources, streamlining team communication and design reviews.
