We’re excited to introduce a major boost to your creative workflow: the new echo3D plugin for Adobe Substance 3D Painter. Now, artists and designers can seamlessly import 3D assets from their echo3D account directly into Substance Painter, make edits, and instantly export them back to their 3D digital asset management platform—all in just a few clicks.

This new integration is a game changer for anyone looking to streamline their 3D content pipeline and elevate how they manage, paint, and deploy 3D assets.

A Seamless Workflow for 3D Creators

With the echo3D plugin installed in Adobe Substance 3D Painter, users can:

• Browse and import 3D models from their echo3D 3D library

• Paint, texture, and customize models with Substance’s robust tools

• Export edited models back to their echo3D 3D asset management platform with a single click using the “Export Asset to echo3D” button

No need for multiple file exports, re-uploads, or version control headaches. Just a smooth loop from creation to storage, optimized for speed and creativity.

Why This Matters for 3D Artists and Designers

Whether you’re building real-time game assets, immersive AR/VR experiences, or digital twins for e-commerce, efficiency is everything. The new plugin connects Substance 3D Painter directly to your 3D DAM, eliminating the friction between asset design and asset deployment.

Here’s how it helps:

⚡ Faster Turnarounds

With this plugin, artists can instantly test iterations, sync changes, and eliminate manual file handling. That’s more time for creativity and less time dealing with file transfers.

📦 Better Organization

By syncing directly with your echo3D 3D asset manager, every version of your painted model is securely stored in your 3D warehouse. You can tag, organize, and share your creations without switching tools.

🌍 Collaboration Made Simple

Need to share a model with a developer, client, or teammate? Exported assets are automatically available in your cloud collection, ready for real-time access through the echo3D console.

Don’t Have a 3D DAM Yet? Here's Why You Need One.

If you're still managing your 3D models across folders, emails, and USB drives, you're missing out. A modern 3D digital asset management platform like echo3D can centralize your entire asset pipeline.

• Store 3D models of any type—GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, and now Substance-compatible formats

• Enable team-wide collaboration with advanced 3D asset management software

• Build and organize a searchable 3D library of reusable content

• Power up with integrations across Unity, Unreal, Blender, and now Adobe

According to a report by Emergen Research, the digital asset management market is projected to reach over $8.15 billion by 2030, driven by the increasing demand for centralized content management. And in the 3D space, that demand is accelerating as workflows become more immersive and interactive.

A recent IDC study highlights how companies leveraging connected creative tools reduce production timelines by 30% or more. With this new plugin, echo3D is helping bring that efficiency to every 3D creator.

echo3D: The Ultimate 3D Asset Management Platform

As a cloud-first 3D asset management platform, echo3D is built for today’s creators, developers, and teams working with interactive 3D content. Whether you’re managing hundreds of product renders or a single interactive environment, echo3D helps you:

• Centralize 3D file storage

• Enable global collaboration

• Maintain a clean, organized 3D warehouse

• Integrate with all your favorite tools and engines
