🧵 Adobe Substance 3D Sampler AI Text to Texture has arrived
Anonymous at Mon, 18 Mar 2024 21:41:48 UTC No. 978099
Just got announced at GDC. How over is it for material artists?
>Adobe says it can generate “photorealistic or stylized textures” from prompt descriptions, such as scaled skin or woven fabric. These textures can then be applied directly to 3D models, sparing designers from needing to find appropriate reference materials.

God these niggers are doing anything but improving substance, Adobe buying it has been the worst thing that happened to 3dcg ever

i think this was inevitable, even if adobe hadn't purchased substance.
but yeah, substance designer is dead software walking imo - i'd actively tell people to not learn it if they haven't already. i feel bad for people who've spent years getting very good at it.

Well what's a good alternative in your opinion? I've been using it for years and hating it

You could already download full ground dirt materials for free basically.
Hard-surface, derivative versions of existing materials, trim sheets, etc, is what the material artists are doing now.
The most generic materials were already replaced by photoscans and those are the ones AI will be really good at making.

designer still has a place but I agree starting it today would probably be pointless. So far we've only seen this tool do nature textures. I'd be curious how it would handle say a sci fi wall.

It's neat I guess?
I don't really see the point if all it can do is basic generic textures that there's a million other textures for already.
Most of the work done to the texture in the webm has nothing to do with the generated texture either. It's just standard fare Substance B2M/Quixel Mixer stuff. Which arguably is what's going to make a given texture you find online unique anyway.
So yeah, neat toy, and I can see it being useful for extremely general purpose things, but again, general purpose is extremely well covered. That's why it's "general".
>How over is it for material artists?
About the same as it's been? Status quo hasn't changed with this.

Keep telling yourself that.
It's not the AI's fault that your mental model is so far off you can't communicate properly.
If it wasn't for sjws trolling you, who are the most out of touch people out there btw, except YOU the AI would have generated something akin to a person wearing clown makeup if prompted for "white skin".
