用Substance Designer制作的贴图具有许多传统位图不具备的优势。后者相对静止且用线性方式制作，而用Substance Designer制作的贴图更具活力，在制作的每个阶段都可以被高度的自定义。

维塔士在自己的制作流程中已经使用了Substance工具，并且有大量的美术师接受了Substance软件的培训。因此，维塔士能够为Substance客户提供培训及支持。

Substance Designer 2014 4.5 Build 14479 (MacOSX/Windows) | 389 MB

The program is intended for creation of complex nonlinear procedural textures. The program allows you to mix and manipulate bitmaps, vector images and procedural elements. Textures created with Substance Designer are dynamic, ie they can be freely modified at any stage of creation. In this case, the user automatically receives the output different cards - diffuse, Normal, specular, etc.

Program developers have built into it a large number of templates and filters, which greatly simplify the work of the designer. There are for example, such filters "Bitpam in material", "Dynamic shadows", "rust", etc. Package "Substance Designer" also includes the application "Substance Player" to view your created texture, as well as included in the package of training textures.

Substance Designer supports importing textures of programs such as Photoshop, 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, Unity 3.4 (or higher). The program allows for real-time to make changes and apply effects. In addition, support vector image format and can work with layers.
