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.

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.

Substance Alchemist was essential for me to get as close as possible to how I wanted the look of the materials, and to make these small modifications that I needed quickly.
