Procreate is well-suited for any illustrator, whether they're a beginner or an expert. It offers a vast range of features that will allow anyone with an artistic inclination to start creating right away. It's also appropriate for budding designers, artists, and animators. While the animation options offered aren't super premium, it is a good place to start learning about animating in layers, e.g., in Photoshop. Procreate isn't suitable for people who want to illustrate vector-based images. The app currently only supports raster images that can't be scaled up.

Cons
Marmoset
  • probably when you have an already done baking setup and you change the mesh, the reload takes a lot of time.
  • sometimes its very difficult to find errors in the bake because the beauty render in Marmoset Toolbag hides it very well. In the viewer of our texturing program is very noticeable so I have to go back and forth between them to fix bake errors.
  • I guess the texturing deature of Marmoset Toolbag is not yet something that our studio is willing to jump over to, we have a lot of missing features from currently industry standard programs

Usability
Marmoset
I give it an 8 just for the sake that you can do pretty well bakes, pretty good realtime renders and those are like the key features of Marmoset Toolbag. But I dont give it a 10 because they advert a texturing tool while its still very raw on those terms, but overall excellent program for the cost

We use substance mainly for the control over the bakes, none of the programs listed above which are other programs we used that can actually do bakes, are nearly as good as Marmoset Toolbag. I can vouch for Marmoset Toolbag as the best baking program out there till the date, giving you almost complete control of how the bake is gonna end up looking and achieving it really fast

Procreate is the easiest to understand out of all this software. I use it on my iPad, and I find that drawing with the Apple Pencil straight on Procreate is intuitive and simple, unlike using the complicated pen tool on Adobe Illustrator. As I've mentioned earlier, Procreate is a great app for beginners, whereas both Illustrator and Photoshop have steep learning curves. If you want to dive into designing right away, Procreate is your best option!

Return on Investment
Marmoset
  • so the baking process from start to a good finish is about 90% more controlled than any other baking program out there
  • Achieving a good bake is much more easy for our artist meaning less time per asset correcting issues
  • its incredibly easy to learn, in a matter of hours an artist can be doing good work. so less training hours needed
