The first, and default option, being relative to parent. The obvious question though, is what does this mean? And how does it effect our material? Well, essentially the size modes will use either the application that a Substance file is imported into or the graph in Substance Designer itself in order to determine a starting resolution. So, if we go ahead and create a new Substance graph here, we see that we have access to a size mode dropdown that is, as noted, set by default to relative to parent.
