About this pack

Wood was the second volume in the smart-material series and it is still bought for its tutorial as much as for its materials. Twenty procedural wood surfaces arrive as Substance Painter smart materials with a matching 4K texture set each, and beside them a complete video build of a wooden treasure chest — modelled, given a high-poly and a low-poly version, unwrapped and then textured with the pack.

What you get

  • ✓20 wood smart materials in SPSM format for Substance Painter
  • ✓20 matching 4K wood PBR texture sets, 4096 × 4096
  • ✓PNG and JPEG preview renders
  • ✓The wooden chest video tutorial: modelling, high and low poly, unwrapping, texturing

Wood is where a smart material most often falls down, because grain has a direction and a mesh has a UV layout that rarely agrees with it. This pack is authored around that problem. Inside each material the layers meant to be turned are highlighted in red, so a plank running the wrong way across a shell is a rotation rather than a rebuild; in some materials that control sits in the main layer parameters and in others in the mask elements.

The chest tutorial is worth the time even if you never build a chest. It is one small hard-surface asset taken end to end — blockout, high-poly detail, a low-poly version to bake onto, an unwrap that respects the grain direction, then texturing — which is the sequence every prop in a game environment goes through, at a scale you can actually follow.

The 4K sets exist so the wood is not locked inside Substance Painter. They carry into Blender, Unreal, Unity or anything else reading a standard PBR set, and they serve as height and colour source inside Substance Designer.

Substance Painter 6.2.1 or above is required, and the mesh shown in the preview renders is not included.

Every purchase includes free lifetime updates and a no-questions-asked 7 day money back guarantee.

About Smart Materials

Every set in this aisle is built the way I build materials for client work: layered, parametric and non-destructive. Nothing is baked flat, so you can open any material and change the base colour, the wear amount or the roughness breakup without starting over.

Each material ships alongside a rendered 4K PBR texture set — base colour, roughness, metallic, normal and height — so you can use it outside Substance Painter in Blender, Unreal, Unity or any renderer that speaks PBR.
