We’ve just released Adobe Substance 3D Sampler 6.0, and this version marks a significant shift: Sampler now supports OpenPBR, the industry’s unified material model, at its core.

 

What that means in practice:

 

  • Build materials which are natively understood across a wide range of 3D tools and pipelines.
  • Design once, eliminate guesswork, and accelerate your workflow with a model built for seamless interoperability across tools.

 

This release also focuses on speed and usability:

 

  • New material templates (fuzz, coatings, subsurface, etc.) let you create more complex materials instantly.
  • Less setup, with fewer technical barriers — while still providing full control if you need it
  • Faster, smarter capture workflows with HP Z Captis integration (auto ROI detection, improved focus, quicker capture)

 

Overall, this release makes the material creative process as smooth as possible, so that you spend less time fine-tuning technical details, and you can spend more time creating high-quality, production-ready materials.
