The software automatically bakes diffuse, normal, height and ambient occlusion maps from the high-res geometry, UV unwraps the decimated mesh, and applies the maps to the lower-resolution model.ĭifferent formats such as USD, USDZ, glTF, GLB, OBJ, FBX or STL are available for exporting the mesh. Not only can users generate a decimated, lower-poly model, but also they can use the point cloud and high-resolution scan – which contain “millions of polygons” and have up to 16K textures. Then a preview of the 3D scan as a sparse point cloud is generated by Sampler, including all of the reconstructed camera positions, with users able to select which region of the scanned volume to reconstruct in detail. Welcome to the Substance 3D Assets library A library of thousands of materials, models, and lights A vast range of assets, to meet an immense variety of needs.

Users import a series of photos of a real-world object, with the option to have Substance 3D Sampler automatically generate masks isolating the object from the background, using an AI model.

As Adobe described the new photogrammetry toolset last year, it provides “fast, best-in-class reconstruction” and, crucially, a highly automated, artist-friendly workflow.
