In this video I will show how you can set up a simple simulation and save the result in a heightmap. This heightmap is then used in Substance Designer to create a material.

If you would ever had troubles with layering materials in Substance Designer, you can simply simulate the result and bake out the heightmap. You don't have to worry anymore about intersections of shapes.
