What are Smart Textures?

Substances are hybrid assets that can have multiple outputs to generate complete texture sets based on the same set of parameters. You can tweak and adjust exposed Substance parameters right inside of Unity and modify them at runtime on PC and Mac. It's integrated into Unity since 3.0 (link (http://unity3d.com/unity/engine/substances)).

Join us for a talk with artist Ronnie Ashlock on how this can benefit your game, as well as an overview on how to use the Substance Designer tool to create your own smart textures!
