Quixel or Substance?

gc3d

Hey guys, looking for a bit of advice here! I'm embarking on the mammoth task of updating my very out of date portfolio and think it would be beneficial to add some new software to my catalog. I was wondering what you guys find is the better program for texturing, Quixel or Substance?

Would love to hear everyones experiences with either or both programs in terms of how easy it is to just pick up and go as well as what the learning curve is like?

If someone could also explain the differences of substance painter vs designer in basic terms that would be greatly appreciated as well!

Software stuff goes in Tech Talk. I'll move it over there for you.

Also, have you done some searches? Sure, people can respond here with their own take on it. But there's also a lot of discussion about this already, should provide some insights.

Right - had the same question and found quite a bit of info on here and the web. I ended up getting both for their individual strengths.

You should try them, and see how they work, they have free trials if i`m not mistaken.

take one it doesnt matter... 
if you have to use the other one cause of new studio, client, pipeline or whatever you have to learn the other one...
pick one and be ready to learn new stuff...
