Height Conform Node _ Substance Designer
I've built this node based on Austin Cline's variation that I have discovered years ago and noticed it can potentially be improved on.
Honestly I think this can be taken a lot further as well, but generally I like to have tools simple and feature efficient, rather than bloated with all sort of useless controls.
You can find the node on my Store here:

The Height Confirm Node is a custom Substance Designer tool that lets you wrap any shape cleanly over a defined height surface. It is ideal for layering elements like cables, decals, stitches, ropes, or cloth across uneven geometry.
Unlike standard blends, this node avoids artifacts like flattening or bleeding and delivers smooth transitions with precise control. Shapes can be layered organically by adjusting influence height and falloff, allowing for stacked details that feel natural and balanced.
Whether you're building stylized fabric or realistic terrain, this node streamlines complex layering into a simple, reusable workflow.
