What's the Deal with 4.5??

Hi,

As I have posted questions with regard to the latest version 4.5 and not recieved any answers, I will ask again here.

1. Dirt filter normal map still is not working for me - the release notes say it was fixed. For more information look at my other posts...

https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-bugs/dirt-filter-normal-map-issues-v4-5-0-windows-10/idi-p/14750130

2. Release notes for 4.5 mention Added content - New texture generator category - Gradients.  I cannot find it anywhere (I also asked this question on the 'New Sampler 4.5 Release!' thread). Can someone please give more information on this. Where is it? What is it for? 

3. Release notes for 4.5 mention Added content HDRI Tools - new Environment rotation filter.  Again, I cannot find it anywhere. I compared the ...Resources\assets\StarterAssets folder to the last version and there was no change in number of files or folder size.

 

3. The following was not listed as being fixed in 4.5 but I think it warrants high priority to be fixed for the next release. Please refer to this post... https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-bugs/unable-to-import-some-sbsar-materials-v4-4-1-windows-10/idc-p/14733989#M456

 

As yet I have seen no improvement in this version, only less stability.  Time to roll back to something that kinda works... again.

Hi,
Please when you encounter such issue add your logfile so we can investigate and help faster.

You didn't mentionned if the Substance Connector is available and works?
From what you are saying it seems the update didn't work well (that could explain why the dirt filter still doesn't work for you). Can you explain how you update?
Did you modify or change the location of Sampler's folder?

You can try to uninstall to do a clean installation for the 4.5.

You can send me your logfile in private message.
Share with me the issue regarding importing sbsar too. We can't reproduce  the issue on our end.

Regards
