In this talk, Käy Vriend will discuss how procedural substance tools, specifically the Substance suite, can speed up the art production process. The Substance suite includes Substance Sampler, Substance Painter, and Substance Designer, which can be used to create seamless scan-like materials, smart materials that conform to any mesh, and tools that save time on modeling or sculpting. Käy will showcase some of the possibilities that studios currently have with the Substance suite and explore how AI can be integrated to further streamline workflows and enhance procedural tools.
