New features in Allegorithmic’s material creation software for authoring Substances include:
– Link/Import mesh as a resource in sbs – These meshes can be displayed in the 3D view and used to extract information
– New mesh information extraction feature – This information can be exported into bitmaps or SVG and used in Substance graphs. The following maps can be extracted: ambient occlusion (depending on the GPU), world space normal, curvature, UV to SVG mask.
– Parametrization for FX-Maps is handled by the new Substance engine
– Graph image inputs and outputs can now be re-ordered in the properties view
– Graph Input, output and comments options are now merged in the same context menu as the atomic nodes
– New information panel in the package explorer
Watch a sample video showing how you can quickly create weathering effects using the new features and read the complete list of changes at Allegorithmic.
Also of note, Allegorithmic are offering a special package discount price of $690 instead of $1600 from March 1st to March 20th. The package includes Substance Designer 2.5, Bitmap2Material 1.5 and 250 substance source files (.sbs). More at Allegorithmic.
