Substance Designer is Adobe's node-based tool for building procedural, tileable materials — a step up from hand-painting textures because materials stay editable and reusable across projects. It shows up across 3D Artist, 3D Game Artist, and Texture Artist workflows, though it's a specialized add-on skill rather than universally core — many studios still lean on Substance Painter or hand-painted textures for simpler pipelines. Game and VFX studios in India increasingly list it as a differentiator on texture-artist job postings, and it's learned through Adobe's own tutorials or game-art bootcamps rather than a formal course.
