Only Substance Designer and Substance Player open sbs files called “source files.” They must publish files as .sbsar (substances) for using in other programs.

A substance is a smart texture generator. Substance files generate 2D images from parameters and inputs. The Substance Engine recalculates results when changes occur. Adjust parameters and a new 2D texture calculates without quality loss. Modifying and customizing substance files makes them versatile tools.

Sbs files also work in GIS software as spatial data. An example is SpyGlass Map Server from Fastech producing geocoded maps. It stores data as SpyGlass Spherical Projection Data files (*.sbs). Converting the files allows using sbs in preferred GIS tools. Many GIS applications can utilize sbs files with plugins.

Sbs files also store audio in the Shorten compressed format.
