When to use TextureFast vs Adobe Substance 3D Sampler

Choose the right tool for the job. Here is when each one fits best.

  • Use Adobe Substance 3D Sampler

    Use Sampler when you must match a specific real-world reference (e.g. a product photo, a scanned surface) and need the exact look from that source.

    Use TextureFast

    Use TextureFast when you don't need a perfect source photo: just describe the brick wall, leather, or metal you want and get PBR maps in seconds.

  • Use Adobe Substance 3D Sampler

    Stay with Sampler for client-approved reference materials or when authenticity to a physical sample matters.

    Use TextureFast

    Choose TextureFast for concept iteration, custom art direction, or when you'd rather describe the look than hunt for and clean up reference photos.

What you get with TextureFast

TextureFast replaces the need for a perfect source photo. Describe what you want; Sampler requires you to photograph it first.

Text to Texture

TextureFast generates textures from a text description. No photos required. Sampler starts from real-world photos or scans and extracts PBR maps; you spend time cleaning shadows and fixing tiling.

Style Presets

TextureFast style presets keep a consistent look across many assets. In Sampler you match style by finding similar reference photos and manually tuning sliders.

Switching from Adobe Substance 3D Sampler to TextureFast

Move your workflow to TextureFast in a few steps while keeping your existing assets.

  1. Export your UV-unwrapped mesh (OBJ or FBX) from your DCC. TextureFast works with any UV layout.
  2. Sign up at TextureFast and open the texturing dashboard.
  3. Describe the material in text instead of hunting for photos (e.g. "weathered brick with moss" or "matte black rubber").
  4. Use style presets to match an art direction across multiple assets.
  5. Download 4K PNG maps (albedo, roughness, normal) or GLB and import into Substance Painter, your engine, or pipeline.
