I have used 3D software  in the past, but a long time ago!! Are there any pointers on how to get started? Can i import drawings to get started?

Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated!

 

I only have a 30 day trial so need to give this a good go before trying something else!

Welcome... first of all.. I think you may have the wrong impressions here (= assumption on my part!) because this environment isn't necessarily about editing stuff and such. But first: yes, you can add drawings to your Designer projects and then embed those into your project.

 

But please keep in mind that Designer isn't like any 3D sofware you may have worked with. This isn't necessarily about modelling and designing 3D and such, a better description in my opinion would be scripting. You basically build up a 'script' which consists of nodes; these act like individual building blocks. Each has a specific function or purpose, and put them together and, well, you can make magic happen.

 

Where to begin?  First I can recommend the documentation. No, this isn't your classic "RTFM!" comment but "Help => Documentation" honestly leads to something good.

 

Second (bias goes into effect here!) I highly recommend following this YouTube playlist from the official Adobe Substance 3D website:

I think that has the full potential to both blow your mind and teach you some seriously useful basics on Designer.

 

Hope this could help!

Hello @Goldenwonder,

 

First, thank you @ShelLuser for that enthusiastic and very helpful reply!

 

I am in charge of Designer's documentation. If anything is unclear or you think something is missing, feel free to let me know.

Indeed, our tutorials website has lots of learning materials. Then, hop into our Discord server to meet our vibrant, creative and helpful community.

 

Have fun with the Substance 3D tools!

 

Best regards.
