Read More.Adobe has launched the Substance 3D Collection, a major overhaul of its old Substance Suite that expands the product line from specialist material-authoring tools to a set of more general 3D applications.Īs well as Substance Designer, Substance Painter and Substance Alchemist – now renamed Substance 3D Sampler – the Collection features Substance 3D Stager, a new scene layout and rendering tool.Ī fifth tool, VR sculpting app Substance Modeler, is currently in private beta.įor individual artists, pricing for the original applications remains unchanged, but Adobe has introduced a separate $49.99/month subscription plan providing access to the new products.Īimed at a wider range of users than the old Substance SuiteĪs well as artists working in game development, visual effects and motion graphics, Adobe hopes that the Substance 3D Collection will “inspire a brand new generation of designers”. Lastly, it is still tied to Oculus/Meta software, which makes it impossible to use on any non-Meta headset without Revive. Also, unlike Medium, it is tied to a subscription plan with no other means of purchase. In addition, it carries some of Medium's technical challenges like the smooth brush getting weaker on higher resolutions. Lighting, environment and material settings. A stomp paint mode, which will repaint the inside of a voxel sculpt as well.

Negative: Lacking many important features which were present in its predecessor (Medium) that make it hard to integrate this program to a 3D workflow, such as: Audio cues, which helps understand what the user is doing. More complex options for sculpting like radial symmetry, boolean, and more shapes for the move tool. Positive: -Intuitive and similar to Medium. This might change in the near future, but as for now, I do not recommend taking the leap from Medium for professional use. It is easy to see the ambition poured into it, and it could grow to become a big tool in modeling workflows, but as for now, it comes with some challenges that make it feel bare-boned and feature-lacking. As such, it is quite similar, but designed for a more professional use. Summary: This is the successor to Adobe's (formerly Oculus's) Medium software.
