FAQ
SBSAR to DDS Conversion
What are SBSAR files?
SBSAR (Substance Archive) is a file with a ready-to-use material for 3D graphics, such as brick, wood, metal, fabric, or concrete. Instead of storing a fixed set of pictures, it holds a recipe that generates the surface textures on demand, so the artist can change the color, the amount of wear and dirt, or the pattern with simple sliders and choose the resolution. The files are tiny compared with sets of image textures, and they are used in games, films, and product visualization. They are created in Adobe Substance 3D software and opened in many 3D programs and game engines.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
