Substance Designer vs ArmorPaint
Developers should learn Substance Designer when working in game development, VFX, or real-time 3D projects that require efficient, scalable texture creation and material design meets developers should learn armorpaint when working on 3d projects that require custom texture creation or material design, such as in game development, vr/ar applications, or 3d animation. Here's our take.
Substance Designer
Developers should learn Substance Designer when working in game development, VFX, or real-time 3D projects that require efficient, scalable texture creation and material design
Substance Designer
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Substance Designer when working in game development, VFX, or real-time 3D projects that require efficient, scalable texture creation and material design
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for generating procedural materials that can be easily modified and reused across assets, reducing manual work and ensuring consistency
- +Related to: substance-painter, pbr-texturing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
ArmorPaint
Developers should learn ArmorPaint when working on 3D projects that require custom texture creation or material design, such as in game development, VR/AR applications, or 3D animation
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for artists and technical artists who need a lightweight, real-time painting tool that supports PBR workflows and can export to formats like glTF or FBX for use in engines like Unity or Unreal Engine
- +Related to: substance-painter, blender
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Substance Designer if: You want it is particularly valuable for generating procedural materials that can be easily modified and reused across assets, reducing manual work and ensuring consistency and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use ArmorPaint if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for artists and technical artists who need a lightweight, real-time painting tool that supports pbr workflows and can export to formats like gltf or fbx for use in engines like unity or unreal engine over what Substance Designer offers.
