About this asset

This procedural Substance material for Substance 3D provides a scalable, tileable commercial office facade with illuminated windows. This procedural material generates a high-rise office building facade featuring a rigid grid of vertical and horizontal mullions in a dark metallic finish. The grid frames recessed glazing units that exhibit varied levels of internal illumination, simulating a night-time office environment. The parametric nature of the shader allows for adjustments to the window lighting density and grid proportions, ensuring a realistic appearance across large-scale building surfaces without repeating patterns. The design is clean and contemporary, suitable for complex architectural visualizations requiring high-density urban detailing and convincing nocturnal building lighting effects.

The download is a 778 KB file containing a Substance (.sbsar) material that opens in Substance 3D Player, Sampler and Painter and in renderers with Substance support.

Utilize this.sbsar file within the Substance ecosystem or compatible host software to dynamically control the facade parameters. Adjust the window emission intensity, grid spacing, and mullion depth directly through the exposed graph controls to match specific project requirements. Because this is a procedural shader, it remains sharp at any scale and avoids the tiling artefacts common in bitmap-based textures, allowing for efficient integration into large-scale architectural scenes and complex 3D environments.

Ideal for architectural visualisers and urban designers working on commercial or high-rise residential projects, this material effectively populates large building envelopes for night-time exterior renders. It pairs well with modern glass curtain wall systems and urban lighting sets. Professionals typically search for this asset when needing to populate city blocks, generate background buildings for masterplans, or create realistic office lighting without manually modelling individual window interiors. It is particularly useful for achieving high-quality results in tight project deadlines.
