Discover how this new software compares to established PBR workflows, examining the strengths and limitations of both platforms for game development and VFX work. Learn about the fundamental workflow differences between traditional substance-based texturing and Houdini's node-based approach, including procedural flexibility, material authoring capabilities, and texture baking processes. Understand the painting workflow variations and how each system integrates into existing production pipelines. Analyze the cost implications and future outlook for procedural texturing tools, helping you determine whether Copernicus represents the next evolution in material creation or if Substance maintains its industry-standard position.
