Substance Painter basically for Games, and Mari for Movies. Mari can deal with Pore level Detail, and can handle up to 32k Texture size per UDIM, which is Crazy while Substance Painter can only Handle a mere 8K Texture per UDIM, Which even a 12+ yo version of Mari can deal with 16K Texture But Mari is significantly more heavier and slower, and because Mari isn't geared toward a Real Time Rendering, the Preview is not as Instant like Substance Painter, which is PBR workflow, also dealing with crazy big Texture size is very stressful and Slow also, sometimes Texturing using only Photoshop is completely okay, because everything that require 3D tend to took way too long because you've to cover every corner of the model.

Substance is initially made for games and now its been widely used in vfx movies. Mari is old work flow, very expensive to work around in fast phase studios. Yeah mari is good with exporting 32k 16k 8k but not useful no render is comfortable handling high res and majority still use 4 k either mari or SP. Using SP like more detail less lookdev nodes and accurate what you see you get in the render with high creatively looking textures lookdev.

32k texture support is the only thing Mari had lmao

you're missing the most important difference between the two... mari is node based which once you try you truly never go back, substance is extremely slow, mari allows you to change resolutions of UDIMs on the go, you have some that are 1k while others are 8k or more, it's way more robust and can handle large UDIM projects, and most importantly the paint buffer just doesnt compare. And theres just soo much more. if your doing game work substance is good enough but if you're doing character work, movie assets, commercials and such, you'll be glad you learned Mari. Your workflow will become so much faster and it will show in your work, trust me. If you're on the fence, download the non commercial version of mari for free and test it out. Took me a while to switch from substance to Mari but I couldnt be happier since I did.

The worst thing for me with Mari is it’s a lot more difficult to learn. Cumbersome interface but the lack of tutorials makes it even more of a challenge. Ifyou can get over these hurdles it’s by far the most powerful tool.

Nuke was made by Digital Domain which was later sold to The Foundry just like How Weta sold Mari to the Foundry.

@@vdlva8113 you can’t use python plugins, can’t support tons of udims and your textures can’t be higher than 4K. I normally didn’t make many udims, don’t know what scripts are available, and never made textures higher than 4K :)

I actually prefer Mari, it's much faster than painter, but it has a terrible UI - if only they overhauled the UI and pricing to compete with painter it would have been adopted more widely.

I find it hard to believe it is faster to paint than Painter. Back when I used Mari for awhile, it was slow, time consuming, quite convoluted with resource management playing a big role. Painter was the opposite, it fast, almost held your hand for most of the work, leveraged a ton of smart materials and tools to pump out assets on the fly. As for the UI, I agree, but that's the least of Mari's problems. The foundry will charge an arm and a leg for it, and expect yearly payments from you as well if you go along with their pricing scheme. That alone will reduce adoption greatly. We saw the Foundry do the same with Modo. Both have low accessibility now, all because it's priced for large studios, not individuals or small teams.

@@SW-lw6mt Painter got 8k texture support and UDIMs about 8 or so years ago. I don't know if I would call 8 years "a little while back". Not saying Painter is perfect, I sure as heck had a lot to complain about it back in the early days, even when I was talking to the team behind Painter. Painter is more about filling in smart materials and surface elements, than actual "painting", however for more precise organic texture work, what the artist would do is just send it to Photoshop, and then send it back to painter. It was a quick process. If i recall correctly this was not painting on UVs either, but on top of an image of the model itself, similar to how Mari works. I know 3D Coat had this method as well.

The best of both worlds is 3DCoat. I've spent years using Mari, but the price for only having 3D painting capabilities is a no-go. 3DC has a permanent license and is very affordable compared to those two. There's no turning back, 3DCoat is my choice for now on. There's life without Adobe, you now? Affinity apps (PS, AI and ID), BMD DaVinci Resolve (AE and PR), to name a few. I ditched Adobe for years, and I don't miss a thing.
