Unity 2.4.0

Alert:

Unity changed the default build architecture to x86 instead of x86_64.
Scripts will not run if they reference Substances. You will need to change back to x86_64 and the build will work.

New Features:

  • HDRP project support added (preview)
  • Added Preferences in the Substance menu
  • Added ability to set default Substance resolution import setting
  • Added ability to set default Normal compression
  • Added ability to generate all outputs on an import of a Substance
  • Support for custom outputs + outputs with the same usage
  • Added Platform Resolution settings
  • Added IL2CPP support Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where opening Substance Source on Mac OS would give a Linux error
  • Reduced time that it takes when switching platforms. Texture conversion for mobile platforms is now done on build rather than when switching target platform.
  • Assertion failed error when importing sbsar

  • Upgrading projects using .NET 3.5 causes substance materials to break

  • Substance source not supported in linux dialog appearing on OS X

  • Graph name change destroys prefabs & scene file in ForceText serialization mode

  • Substance materials with multiple outputs using the same usage will break Plugin doesn't support custom outputs in sbsar

Known Issues:

  • When upgrading a project from 2017-2018/2019, after the user imports the Substance plugin, Unity must be restarted for the project to be updated.
    Workaround: Create a package of the assets/project and import that package into a newer project with the 2.4.0 plugin. The Substance files should be converted correctly.
  • Unity has changed the default build architechture to x86. Currently, the Substance plugin only supports x86_64.

No Longer Fully Supported:

  • Substance Live Link has been removed from the Asset Store package. (The package can still be downloaded from Substance Share)
