# Substance 3D Texturing

## Overview

Master PBR (Physically Based Rendering) texture creation and export workflows for web and real-time engines. This skill covers Substance 3D Painter workflows from material creation through web-optimized texture export, with Python automation for batch processing and integration with WebGL/WebGPU engines.

**Key capabilities:**
- PBR material authoring (metallic/roughness workflow)
- Web-optimized texture export (glTF, Three.js, Babylon.js)
- Python API automation for batch export
- Texture compression and optimization for real-time rendering
