Substance Designer 5 announced

New features in Allegorithmic’s material creation software for authoring Substances include:

• Substance Engine 2.0 – the new generation of
  Allegorithmic’s core tech
• Pixel processor node – an image processor that allows you
  to read input images and apply any custom effect or treatment using
  visual programming
• Transfer Baker – lets you transfer textures from
  one mesh to another without worrying about UV changes
• Tri-planar projection – any image can be applied to a mesh
  with no visible seams, helping to control the scale and rotation of the
  projection
• Dependency Manager – designed to make asset management and
  sharing of Substance files across artists and studios intuitive and
  painless
• A new template system for creating starting templates
  tailored to custom engines and pipelines

Substance Designer 5 is available for pre-order at a discount price
and will be officially released on March 4. More on Allegorithmic’s
