Then, with Adobe’s acquisition of Substance, development on Dimension abruptly stopped, with no reason given at the time. We could forgive frailties and missing features, knowing they were under active development.

As it matured it became faster, more practical, and easier to use. Project Felix was to be a tool for designers who were not 3D artists or experts.Īfter a rocky start, Dimension began delivering on that promise. Project Felix was announced at MAX 2016 as a new tool “ built specifically for graphic designers.” Felix promised a brand-new workflow for designers to preview and present their work in a 3-Dimensional, photo-realistic context-cutting turnaround time for design approvals, simplifying the design process for packaging and display, and opening new opportunities for product presentation. Howls of protest are par for the course whenever there is a major UI change, and the noise from the 3D authors will die down. That's why it is the industry's reference 3D Material Creation app.We have been watching the Dimension community forum and the (vitriolic, for the most part) YouTube comments from long-term Substance users on the recent launch of Substance 3D. More than 95% of AAA game projects currently in development use Substance 3D as well as the most prestigious visual effects and animation studios. Moreover, you can create even 3D models from scratch. With Substance Designer, you can create customizable photorealistic unique and universal textures and materials. Those detailed and infinitely customizable textures are key to making 3D objects seem so realistic that you can imagine reaching out and touching them. Painter allows you to apply textures straight to a 3D object. Substance Painter often called the Photoshop of 3D.

You can bring in a photo and quickly apply filters and mix elements to produce a texture or other material in a matter of minutes. The best thing about Sampler is that it makes creating materials simple. Sampler has a new toolset for creating 3D lighting environments, including merging sets of photos into HDR images and adding 3D lights to existing HDRIs. Here Substance Alchemist has been fully redesigned and updated. Substance Sampler (previously known as Substance Alchemist) is an application for generating 3D materials based on photographs and scan data.
