About this asset

This parametric Substance material for Substance 3D provides a pixelated facade pattern with adjustable emissive glass panels. This procedural material generates a rhythmic, pixelated grid facade system suitable for contemporary commercial architecture. The design features a modular arrangement of square panels, alternating between reflective glass and high-intensity emissive tiles that simulate integrated building lighting. The shader allows for precise control over the distribution of illuminated panels, enabling users to create varying densities of light across a building envelope. With its clean, geometric logic, the material offers a highly technical aesthetic, ideal for high-rise curtain walls or media-facade concepts where light and transparency play a central role in the building's exterior character.

The download is a 317 KB file containing a Substance (.sbsar) material that opens in Substance 3D Player, Sampler and Painter and in renderers with Substance support.

Designed for use in Substance 3D, this.sbsar file functions as a dynamic graph rather than a static bitmap. Users can adjust parameters such as emissive intensity, panel reflectivity, and the random distribution of light tiles directly within the software. Once the desired look is achieved, export the map set at the required resolution for integration into standard rendering engines, ensuring seamless tiling across large-scale architectural surfaces without visible seams or repetitive patterns.

This material is best suited for large-scale commercial and office building projects, particularly when visualising modern curtain wall systems or nocturnal urban environments. It pairs effectively with steel and aluminium structural elements, providing a high-tech finish for exterior cladding. Professionals working on hospitality or mixed-use developments will find it useful for creating dynamic, illuminated facades that require a contemporary, digital aesthetic.
