Beta 1.15.50 Release notes

With the Free Public beta program, you can try out experimental features and builds of Substance 3D Modeler before they reach full release. Public beta builds are generally less stable than the current non-beta build of Modeler, so we advise that you avoid using the Public beta for time-critical work. 

Joining the Free Public beta is easy, and doesn't require an existing Creative Cloud subscription. Find out how to join the Free Public beta here.

Don't forget to join the Modeler Community to share your feedback and suggest improvements to these in-development features.

Substance 3D Modeler Beta 1.15.50 overview

Beta 1.15.50 introduces a collection of new combine modes to primitives. Inset, Extrude, Groove, Tongue, Repel, and Avoid give you more control over how your primitives work together than ever before. 

Primitives have made their way to the full retail release of Modeler, so we've also created a quick tutorial to help you get comfortable with the primitives workflow.

Modeler V1.15.50 full release notes

Fixes:

• Added support for MX Ink pen.
• Primitives:
  • Added 6 more Combine modes to primitives. Each mode has additional parameters so you have complete control over how primitives interact with each other.
    • Inset
    • Extrude
    • Groove
    • Tongue
    • Repel
    • Avoid
  • Added a Blending type selector where you can choose between smooth or chamfered blending.
• Added a button to clear the Recent projects panel in the Welcome dialog.
• Improved the Gizmo’s uniform scale handle location so that it isn’t as affected by the aspect ratio of a given brush or shape.

Fixes:

• Fixed the background color in the about panel.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Gizmo translation handle could be hidden while in Orthographic mode.
• Fixed a bug where ineligible objects could be dragged in or out of primitive containers, causing unexpected results.
• When scaling the sole primitive inside a primitive container, the container is scaled too. 
• Ensure that the viewport camera on desktop is always oriented correctly.
• Camera previews in VR now update correctly when moved.
• Pasted and duplicated primitive objects are now added after the last selected object in the current primitive container.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when trying to intersect a primitive with an empty group.
