Hi everyone, Today, we're introducing #Substance3DConnector, an open-source framework designed to make it easier to connect different 3D software tools and share data. Substance 3D Connector is our response to a common problem: moving data between various packages and platforms. We've designed it to streamline this process, improving efficiency and allowing creators to focus on their work instead of spending time importing and exporting data. We know you found Live Link extremely useful in the past, so we've been working on a more general and robust version of it. Thanks to your feedback, I'm excited to finally share this news with you all. Our first iteration will support SendTo workflows, followed by live connection workflows in the future. And you heard that right, we are open-sourcing this technology. We're encouraging developers, artists, and industry partners to get involved. Please check out our blog for more details: Substance 3D Connector Bridging Tools in 3D Workflows
