Substance 3D usable for interior design?

Question

Hi all,

In researching this product I see that it's mostly used for games and film.

I am looking to see if substance can approxomate something like sketchup and 3D rendering/photoshop.

My goal is to see if I can create environments and input items like art, mirrors etc. to scale. I do a lot of photoshop work for an interior design business. While I am able to get them effective visuals with photoshop, a common complaint is that we have to 'guess' the correct scale of the items relative to what's in the space. This isn't good for the finished product because if we sell a client on placing something and it doesn't fit correctly to scale in person that creates an issue.

Does anyone know if substance 3D or any similar adobe program might satisfy this need? If so how easy is it to learn. Most of my background is in illustrator, photoshop and 2D rendering. I can get a general sense of how to input the measurements based on inches. Or should I just learn sketcup? I'm a little concerned that might not have the appropraite visual flair.

Thank you,

Jason

Hello Jason,

Thanks for the question.

Substance 3D Stager should be the best option from Adobe regarding your end goal. It allows you to create a 3D scene quickly, a lot of assets (desk, chairs, sofa, etc.) are already in the application's library, and respecting a proper scale shouldn't be complicated. In addition the soft is pretty easy to handle, in my opinion, that's even its main strenght.

With that being said, the soft is mainly used for Hero asset/Product rendering, and doesn't handle heavy environment as well. My advice considering you're already used to Photoshop would be to build a basic scene (create the room, place the props, etc.) and use the result as a base Layer in Photoshop.

Best regards,
