What do you like best about Adobe Substance 3D Painter?

Being part of the adobe suite its usage is interchangeable with other adobe products such as PS and Illustrator. Thus there is no need for a new learning curve when using it and a user can hop in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Substance 3D Painter?

I dislike the fact that beyond the student experience it will be more expensive to obtain and thus for freelancers it is more difficult to recommend and would suit those working in the industry at a company more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Substance painter allows me to directly tell deeper stories with my textures beyond procedural material workflows which are typically used. It is a much more intuitive way of texturing a 3D model than assigning multiple textures to a single polygon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
