help Substance 3D Painter FAQ

Does Substance 3D Painter use a node-based workflow for creating textures?

While it utilizes layers and masks similar to Adobe Photoshop rather than a pure node graph, Substance 3D Painter features a robust, non-destructive workflow for physically based rendering (PBR). You can easily create complex materials by stacking smart masks, generators, and fill layers.

Can I export textures from Substance 3D Painter directly into Unreal Engine 5?

Yes, the software includes built-in export presets specifically optimized for game engines, allowing you to instantly format and pack PBR texture maps for Unreal Engine 5 or Unity. You can export albedo, roughness, normal, and metallic maps with a single click.

What file formats can I import for 3D models in Substance 3D Painter?

The software is highly versatile and supports importing standard industry formats like OBJ, FBX, and glTF. It also supports the native .sbsar format to import dynamic, adjustable Substance materials created in Substance 3D Designer.
