Adobe Substance 3D Collection vs. Autodesk Forma

It's great if you don't want to mess around trying fixes or subpar software. Adobe Substance 3D is the default, and it just works when you need it. From textures to complex materials, it gets the job done with no worries. It's really good for new users, because the new UI features they implemented simplify the software a lot, and the learning curve is gentle. It is well suited for game development, renders, and top-notch material creation. One of the main features we use is the creation of dynamic materials that have different colors on the edges. This is useful because it adds a lot of realism, for example, in metals.

• Great performance
• Excellent Adobe support
• Fast and easy

• Sometimes, it can take a lot to load heavy files
• It could be better at the time of exporting, it requires a pro user to make it right
• The interface can be messy if you're not familiar with it

For texturing, Adobe Substance 3D is much better than the other options. In other fields, it's another story. I find it excellent for game engines and realistic renders, but it only solves textures. We, then, move to Blender because it has more compatibility with exports, and we can import them into our preferred render engine. We mostly use Unreal Engine, but also Blender3D to do the final rendering.

• We saved time when texturing models
• With better looking assets, it's more money in the bank
• Less time testing, more time doing
