The latest Substance 3D releases are out. Designer 16 expands procedural capabilities with an improved Shape Splatter node and new SDF tools. Sampler 6 focuses on faster, more consistent material creation, including new templates and better HP Z Captis capture integration. And with ZBrush 2026.2.0 and Painter 12.0.2, you can now transfer meshes between the two apps in a single click. OpenPBR support is also now live across Designer and Sampler, and in beta in Painter.
