Generator

Last update: Thu Feb 26 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Generators are substances that generate a mask or a material based on the mesh topology using the additional maps setup in the TextureSet Settings.

Each generator has a set of parameters allowing you to fine-tune the resulting mask.
To add custom generators in the shelf, see : Adding content to the shelf

NOTE

When creating a new substance in Substance Designer, you can choose the Painter Generator template to get a good starting point to build your generator upon.
