Learning objectives

  • Master advanced Substance Painter tools to develop professional 3D texturing skills
  • Design realistic and complex materials tailored to business needs
  • Optimize 3D painting workflows for certified professional training projects
  • Implement smart materials and procedural masks in Substance Painter 2026
  • Deploy optimized PBR textures for game engines like Unreal Engine

The Learni story

Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Dive into procedural generation with Substance Painter 2026, set up material graphs via the node editor, integrate anchor points for perfect coherence, experiment with particles and dynamic alterations on complex models, apply realistic wear and dirt variations, validate textures via multiple exports for Unity, and finalize a complete deliverable with portfolio-ready renders, through supervised workshops and personalized feedback.

Module 3Advanced Texturing in Substance Painter: Custom Brushes and Special Effects (Particles, Filters)

Master custom brushes and advanced effects in Substance Painter 2026, create unique alphas for fine details, integrate particles for realistic simulations like rust or dust, apply non-destructive filters on multiple layer stacks, optimize for 8K high resolution, test integration with Photoshop via Substance 3D Connection, and produce a VFX-ready textured asset, through practical challenges and professional workflow analyses.

Module 4Optimized Substance Painter Pipelines: Baking, Export, and Automation (Scripts, Batch)

Optimize your pipelines with Substance Painter 2026, perfect high-quality baking for normals and AO, automate via integrated Python scripts, set up batch processing for business projects, export in UDIM formats for films, verify cross-engine compatibility with Unreal and Maya tests, manage LOD variations, and deliver a fully documented workflow, practicing on real AAA team cases and measuring productivity gains.

Module 5Integrative Substance Painter Projects: Portfolio and Best Practices (Final Optimization)

Complete a full capstone project with Substance Painter 2026, assemble all skills to texture a realistic hero asset, apply industrial best practices for performance and scalability, optimize maps for mobile and VR, prepare a certifying portfolio with multiple renders, share in a collective demo session, receive expert feedback, and leave with source files, summary tutorials, and a skills advancement plan for your company.

Evaluation method

  • Daily interactive quizzes on Substance Painter tools
  • Final textured project evaluated by certified trainers
  • Self-assessment and peer review in small groups

Learning method

  • Hands-on practical exercises for 70% of the time
  • Real case studies from AAA studios

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
