# Substance 3D Material

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Substance 3D Material node** in **Cinema 4D**. It loads Adobe Substance (.sbsar) assets and exposes their parameters and texture outputs inside node materials — parametric material import from the Substance ecosystem.

This Node is able to read an Adobe Substance 3D Asset file ( .sbsar ) and provide its settings and texture output within a Node material. You can also add this Node manually to an existing Redshift Node material. However, it is easier if you load the desired Substance 3D Asset via the *Create/Utilities/Substance* command in the *Material Manager*. This automatically creates a *Redshift Standard Material* in which a *Substance 3D Material Node* loads the desired asset and links its textures to the material.
