Substance in Architecture

Substance is made for you

As real-time architecture visualization, including VR and AR, is becoming the new immersive way to present projects, more and more architects and designers are adopting our software which integrates seamlessly with Unreal Engine and Unity.

Substance materials are cross-platform by definition and further integrations include V-Ray, Corona, 3ds Max and Cinema 4D.

Substance Source is a great tool to use for the creation of realistic materials without the necessity to produce them from scratch. For example, the carpet of the work area was made starting from a Substance Source material.

We’ve recently tried Substance Alchemist and, although I feel I have just scratched the surface of the program, its potential seems incredible.

Substance Source is a great way to download your materials directly in Unreal Engine 4, and the interface is very friendly. I work with 4k textures and tweak them.
