Allegorithmic SAS is a French software company founded in 2003 by Sebastien Deguy.[1]
In January 2019, Adobe Inc. acquired the company to integrate its 3D and immersive design with Adobe's Creative Cloud tools as well as expand Allegorithmic's Substance 3D software.[2][3][4][5] That same year, the Project Substance Alchemist open beta was launched, allowing users to edit existing Substance materials or create new ones using “a mixture of manual, parametric, and AI-driven workflows.”[6][7]
Adobe Substance 3D tools was launched in 2021.[4][5] Its tool suite includes: Substance 3D Stager, Substance 3D Painter, Substance 3D Sampler, Substance 3D Designer, and Substance 3D Asset Library.[5][8] Allegorithmic software has been used in the following video games: Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza Horizon 3, Paragon, Steep, Watch Dogs 2, Rainbow 6 Siege, Halo Wars 2, Dead Rising 4, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.[9][10][11][12]
Allegorithmic's Substance 3D Designer software won the Academy Award for Technical Achievement in 2023.[13][14] Its Substance Painter texturing tool was also used in the Oscar-winning short film Mr Hublot[15] and won an Emmy Award in 2024 in the Engineering, Science & Technology category.[16]
