Substance 3D Sampler
Photogrammetry tool designed to transform physical samples, photographs, and scanned images into high-quality 3D textures and digital material assets.
Overview
Adobe Substance 3D Sampler is a photogrammetry tool designed to transform physical samples, photographs, and scanned images into high-quality 3D textures and digital material assets. It uses AI-powered processing to automatically handle tiling, fold removal, and surface detail extraction, enabling users to create photorealistic materials with or without specialized scanning equipment.
The software integrates seamlessly within the Adobe Substance 3D ecosystem, allowing users to combine sampled assets with content from the Substance 3D Assets library and send work to complementary tools like Substance 3D Painter, Stager, and Adobe Photoshop for further refinement. Key capabilities include IBL (Image-Based Lighting) creation from 360° images, parametric effects for weathering and blending, and direct editing integration with Photoshop.
