Substance Designer 4.3 Now Available

Hello,

We are happy to announce Substance Designer 4.3 with Yebis Integration!

Yebis provides state-of-the-art viewport post process rendering directly in Substance Designer.

“Digital artists ultimately want to feel unconfined by unnecessary layers. They want to make a change and see what it’s actually going to look like right away,” said Dr. Sébastien Deguy, Founder and CEO at Allegorithmic. "Combining YEBIS 2’s stellar post processing technology with the PBR viewports in both our Substance texture creation products will help us remove most of these layers, and will continue to make the Substance suite the only one-stop shop for textures.”

Bug Fixes:

2D View - "save current image" and "outputs" buttons don't use the same code to save images
3D View - Video Memory leak when loading several environment textures from files
SVG - hitting X in the SVG editor makes SD crash
Graph - Export outpus fails if images files are ReadOnly (Perforce)
Graph - Creating input/output nodes from node uses connector label instead of identifier
Wrong reference url generated in sbs when referencing data located in a alias path
Crash when editing a bitmap

Know issues:

Bakers may produce black textures when used with Yebis open. If it's the case, disable Yebis or close the 3D view as a workaround.

 

Nice update! do you guys have any plans to integrate with the Houdini Engine so I can directly load my otls and not have to write out and keep track of crappy obj?

 

Thanks : )

We don't have any plans with the Houdini engine.

Cheers,

Wes
