Adobe Signature Collection - Planet Surfaces

In 2025 i had the fantastic opportunity to create my own Substance Source Signature Collection in collaboration with the Adobe Substance 3D team.
My collection is a series of 10 fully parametric substance files that cover celestial objects and surfaces - from big objects like stars to closeups of the inside of a meteorite. To learn more about the project please read the accompanying article on Behance:

This substance is inspired by images of the surface of Mars. It is fully paramatric and very versatile to create a wide range of alien planet soil materials.

Gravel is added right before the outputs via an atlas scatter. I like atlases for details like this because they provide more control and versatility than tile generators/samplers.
