Version 2017.1
Substance Painter changes its versioning number following the new Substance offer. For more details check out : https://www.allegorithmic.com/welcome-to-substance
In this new version we wanted to focus on the content by providing a new plugin that allow to browse Substance Source and import materials directly into the shelf. We also added a lot of new assets to expand your creative possibilities.
Release Date : 20 June 2017
Major Features
New plugin : Substance Source
With this new plugin it is now possible to directly browse our database of materials called Substance Source and download them directly into the shelf, ready to use and ready to work in your projects.
To open Substance Source, simply click on the Substance Source logo in the main toolbar of the application. This should open a new window allowing to browse the library.
New content : Alphas, Procedurals, Filters and more
In this new version we are adding more than 300 new assets. We added sci-fi, geometric, medieval, or even Celtic themed content in the alphas. It also includes a lot of new brushes and scanned handprints/fingerprints. We also provide some handy new filters such as the MatFX Detail Edge Wear which allow to generate scratches directly from the normal information painted on your mesh.
Here is the list of the new content :
- 4 New Fonts (Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Typewriter, Segment)
- 230 New Alphas (Mix of patterns and scanned images)
- 50 New Procedurals (Mostly Fabric pattern for medieval and contemporary clothing)
- 2 New environment maps (Mondarrain and Villa Nova Street)
- 9 New filters (MatFX Detail Edge Wear, Clamp, HBAO, etc.)
We also updated some of the existing assets to make them work better, such as the default environment map which now look less yellow :
