Substance 3D Sampler

Substance 3D Sampler is a 3D capture professional tool that can help 3D modelers to digitize real-world pictures into stunning materials that can be used not only for the creation of 2D assets in apps such as Photoshop but also fully realize in 3D and VR with help of apps such as Substance 3D Modeler, Substance 3D Stager, and others.

This app is part of Adobe Creative Cloud (20+ Apps and Services). It’s FREE for first 7 days, Try Now!

Developed by Adobe as part of their newly established 3D and AR category of apps, Substance Sampler represents one of the most streamlined and powerful ways anyone can build and mix brand-new materials needed for content libraries in projects of all types and sizes.



The core feature of Adobe Substance Sampler is importing reference photos and transforming them into highly detailed 3D materials with surface detail and micro-data that closely mimic real life. The app can then be used to mix multiple materials, enabling users to take full control over filter parameters and create advanced surfaces. The app features not only a highly streamlined interface but also built-in support for Substance 3D Community Assets, an online library where users from all around the world can share and sell their materials.

The main dashboard of Substance Sampler supports all modern usability features that Adobe suite apps are known for, including a drag and drop asset import, a wide selection of pre-built filters, a one-click asset generation tool, and an effects modifier section that can quickly morph ordinary materials into unique creations. The app is well suited for fast experimentation and quick delivery of suitable materials created from real-world photos. As is expected from an Adobe app, anything created inside of Substance Sampler can be easily shared with many other apps either in the 3D and AR family (including Substance 3D Painter and Substance 3D Stager) or even core Adobe offerings (like Photoshop).

Empowered by the latest AI technologies, an open ecosystem where assets can freely move from one app to another, support for parametric effects, Atlas Splatter tool, Substance Sampler represents a valuable tool that every 3D modeler must integrate into their daily workflow.

Substance Sampler is a premium editor found in an Adobe suite of Creative Cloud apps. It can be purchased as a part of several app packs such as “Substance 3D Collection” or “Substance 3D Texturing” that bundle several useful apps for the creation, capture, and painting of 3D materials.
