 Today we’re announcing the release of Desirable Patina, the rust-themed Signature Collection by Loic Anquetil, available now on Substance 3D Assets.  Loic is a Senior 3D Artist/Material Artist working at Ubisoft, who has previously worked on titles including Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. In our interview with Loic on the creation of the collection, Loic discusses how he studied rust references, built procedural noises, and translated corrosion patterns into Substance 3D Designer materials, as well as sharing some thoughts about how to use Substance 3D Designer like a creative toolbox.  Take a look! You can find the article right here, and the Desirable Patina Signature Collection is right here!

 New Content Available in Substance 3D Assets! The Substance 3D Assets library continues to grow with new content designed to integrate seamlessly across Substance 3D Painter, Sampler, and the wider ecosystem. New: Ribbon Assets (130 assets) Ribbons are a new asset type in Substance 3D Painter that allow you to place repeated elements along a path on your model, allowing you to easily make trims, seams, patterns, and other details that conform to surface shapes.  New: Texture Generators (30 assets) We’re introducing Texture Generators, a new category of parametric noises, grunges, and patterns. These assets are designed to help you add variation, imperfections, and surface depth directly within your materials. 30 texture generators are currently available; more are on the way.  USD Format Milestone All models in the Substance 3D Assets library – now over 9,000 – are available in USD format. Featured Collection: Desirable Patina Also available is Desirable Patina, a Signature Collection

 Hey there, one and all! We’re psyched to announce the release of Substance 3D Painter 12.0. This update introduces several new features designed to improve projection workflows, streamline project setup, and give artists more control when refining the final look of their assets. Some highlights include Warp to Geometry, a new projection tool developed with Adobe Research that helps project details cleanly onto complex surfaces, and a new post-processing stack that allows you to refine renders directly inside Painter. The update also brings improvements to the New Project window, automatic UV generation for hard-surface assets, and more.  Take a look at the full announcement in our post on the Adobe blog, which you can find at the link below. You can also find news about updates to Substance 3D Designer and new content in the Substance 3D Assets library. We hope you enjoy the update! Keep creating awesome stuff!
