The Image to Material feature in Adobe Substance 3D Sampler uses an AI-powered algorithm to turn a photo or a single scan of a real-life material into a digital 3D material. Sampler users can then apply that unique new material to their own 3D content. This tool is also available on Adobe Capture mobile app.

We talked to Adobe Research’s Rosalie Martin, Senior Research Engineer, and Adrien Kaiser, Research Engineer, about how they partnered with product teams to transform their experimental research into the Image to Material feature in multiple Adobe products. They also shared their favorite customer responses after the initial release.
