Create 3D material libraries - create collections of materials by combining and tweaking existing resources, or by building new materials from photos and high-res scans.
Craft a specific catalog of materials from real-world references, or simply experiment until you find results you love – in all cases, Alchemist brings phenomenal speed and ease of use to your workflow.

The material enthusiast's toolbox

• 1-click generators
Synthetic material creation with phenomenal speed.
Select a base material, and apply one of Alchemist’s filters; within seconds, you’ve created a complex 3D material.
Use Alchemist’s intuitive interface to modify to suit your personal preference.

• Combine 3D materials
Take existing materials, and blend them together. Craft credible combinations of complex materials: tree bark with moss, for instance, or stone with pebbles; unlimited possibilities exist.
Define your blending criteria from options such as height, color, or custom masks to ensure utterly seamless blending.
Great results, achieved super-fast.

• Transform 2D photos into 3D materials
Import a reference photo into Alchemist. Transform it into a high-quality 3D material. The entire process takes seconds. Our machine-learning based delighter removes shadows and helps you get the best material from your captures.

• Create material collections
Substance Alchemist’s collection feature helps you build vast material libraries. Use moodboards to generate many variations of your materials.

Key Features:

• Material blending
Combine two or more materials to create complex surfaces easily.

• Automatic color variation
Extract colors and generate libraries of variations.

• Conversion of single images to 3D materials
Create a material from a single photo

• Multi-angle images to 3D materials
Dedicated scan-processing workflow.

• Delighter
Remove shadows with machine learning algorithms.

• Atlas Splatter
Scatter leaves, pebbles, and more, on your material.

• .sbsar export
Export Substance materials compatible with every 3D application out there.
