- System requirements — This page regroups system requirements and hardware compatibility information.
- Tutorials — Recommended tutorials for getting started with Substance 3D Painter.
- Project Creation — The new project creation window allows to create a project file to store the 3D model and its texturing information.
- Export — A project can be exported into bitmap textures to be used with other software. It is also possible to export the geometry of the 3D model.
- Glossary — This page lists the most common keywords used by the application alongside a short explanation of the concept behind it.
- Performance — This page regroups tips and tricks on how to maximize performances and make things run smoothly.
PAINTING TOOLS
- Tool list — This page details all the painting tool available and how to use them.

- Lazy mouse — The Lazy Mouse is a distance offset between the mouse cursor and the actual painting which allows to paint more precise or smooth strokes.
- Symmetry — Symmetry is the action of painting in multiple locations at the same time based on geometric constraints.
- Fill projections — Fill layer and fill effects project a texture directly onto the mesh based on a specific mode. This type of layer/effect avoid to manually paint textures on the 3D model. The settings of the projection can be edited via the Properties window.
- Presets — Presets are saved configurations of Painting Tools. This page explain how and why to use them.
- Dynamic strokes — Dynamic Strokes are regular brush strokes powered by Substance files that can change for each stamp inside a brush stroke.
