What's new in this release?

IN-APP ACCESS TO SUBSTANCE SOURCE

In an effort to ease the workflow between our tools and our content, we have integrated Substance Source directly into the Substance Painter UI. You can now browse the online library without leaving your project and download materials directly into your shelf.

NEW CONTENT

Alphas and Patterns

A slew of new high-quality alphas and procedurals are now available in the shelf: from Celtic to medieval symbols, from brushes, stains, and splatters to geometric shapes and barcodes. Most of them feature procedural parameters unlocking even more possibilities.

HBAO Ambient Occlusion

A favorite from Substance Designer makes its way to Substance Painter, allowing you to quickly generate high-quality ambient occlusion from painted height and normal map details.

Live Edge Wear

Ever wished you could apply edge wear to the normal map and height details you just painted on your asset? This filter does just that and allows you to see worn edges adapt in real-time to your custom-painted details.

Glow and Drop Shadow

A common request now finally answered. The new Glow and Drop Shadow filters work exactly like you would expect them to.

Color Balance and Correction

These 2 filters allow you to fine-tune the look of your textures by controlling the shadows, midtones and highlights separately.
