Just read the small print and checked, that's huge would have been my headline statement but suspect I'm in minority 😉 I've been pretty vocal about not having access to at least that part of the automation tool kit outside of enterprise and it's great to see it included now so thanks for that, made my day 🙂 will start testing moving over from my old automation toolkit version over coming weeks.

At some point as we scale I'm going to want to run sbsplayer and sbsbaker in some sort of container environment / cloud so will need to figure out how to get an automation server licence somehow, would rather run it on linux as well, but for now I've got windows workstations that can run fast enough so that's great!

I think you rarely get thanks from what I can see, so wanted to put it out there 🙂

Other updates look good as well, great to see some more 3d mapped noise options out of the box.

Hello @Mark_Edwards and @campi3d,

We are very glad to get that feedback and definitely appreciate the kind thought!

We value indies and wanted to make sure they were not left out of our automation offerings.

Have fun with the Substance 3D tools!

Best regards.

Just to close this out, got my code ported over to use sbsbaker.exe in the 12.1.0 release works great, even got it load balancing over my GPU's now. Not the most exciting video 🙂 but shows how fast sbsbaker is this is 31 worker threads over 2 gpu's each thread doing high to low poly mesh bake of basecolor, custom mask map, emission and normal mapping dynamically loading appropriate skew maps as well
