what program you use to make textures ?

That’s really judgemental, just because software has advanced so that you don’t have to do things as difficult as they used to be doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use the tool

You’re missing my point. The point is not that tedious things are now quick and easy through Quixel/Substance, that’s great, the point is that important technical knowledge about how textures and materials work is now missing because of the simplicity of the tools offering inexperienced artists a crutch to skip all that knowledge and still produce something that doesn’t look horrid.

You can do exactly that with Substance Painter, paint directly onto the model or paint on the 2D texture. I don’t know of anything that Quixel can do that Substance can’t.

I mean manipulate as in literal image manipulation. AKA, that thing Photoshop is built for.
