Users have been speculating about licensing changes to the Substance products ever since original developer Allegorithmic was acquired by Adobe at the start of this year. Indie perpetual licences of Substance Painter and Designer still available, but only via Steam The change in policy was announced on the Substance forum last month but not, as far as we can see, on the Substance blog or social media channels, so a hat tip to CGPress for spotting the relevant post. When buying via the product website, the three applications are now only available on subscription, although perpetual Indie licences of Substance Painter and Designer remain available via Steam.Īdobe has also now removed the old rent-to-own option for Substance Painter and Substance Designer, although existing subscribers have a further year to exercise their buy-out option. DeGuy says these new 3D apps are just the beginning for Adobe, though, so it might be that mobile tools as well as VR apps are next on deck.Adobe has changed the licensing for the Substance tools: texturing painting software Substance Painter, material authoring software Substance Designer and new app Substance Alchemist. DeGuy acknowledges the possibilities of mobile 3D apps, especially for AR, but the mobile 3D creative apps aren't here yet. Adobe already owns Medium, a VR-based sculpting tool that the company acquired from Facebook, and Deguy says Adobe is working on a new version of that app called Modeler that will work both in and out of VR.Įven though the recent iPad Pro has an M1 chip just like many new Macs, these 3D tools are currently for Mac, PC and Linux only. The 3D content can flow into Adobe's Aero AR app if needed, but these 3D tools haven't yet been created with VR in mind.
It'll be interesting to see how versatile Adobe's virtual photo studio could be at importing and staging other 3D captures. The virtual photo studio in Stager, which is an evolved version of Adobe Dimension, can place 3D renders alongside a collection of Adobe assets (premade backgrounds, objects or virtual lighting) to take shots that could be used for presentations, or ads. The Stager app has virtual lighting and locations for virtual photo shoots.
