3D Collective Auto Tiler SBSAR

CREATE PBR MATERIALS FROM ONE SINGLE TEXTURE

Creating PBR textures “seamless” with the appropriate parts for our floors or walls is a task that usually consumes a lot of time. When the objective is to create a texture of great quality it is usually worth the effort invested.
But, what happens if I need a quick solution? With this idea in mind I am working on a Substance file in SBSAR format that allows us to streamline this process and even automate it.

At the end of this page you will find a video where you can see the tool in operation.

This SBSAR file is currently in its early stages of development, 3D Collective is not responsible for any operating errors that may have and does not provide technical support on this free tool, if you want to help me improve it, do not hesitate to leave us your Feedback In the 3D Collective Official Group so we can continue working to improve this tool.

NOTE: In order to use this tool you need to have installed the free tool of Allegorithmic: Substance Player. Once installed simply double click on the SBSAR: 3DCollective_Texture_AutoTiler_v0.3.sbsar is included in the downloads of this product.
