Substance 3D Sampler 4.4.0 is now available!

[Lory3D]

Version 4.4

Substance 3D Sampler 4.4 introduces three new generative workflows as beta: Text-to-texture, Text-to-pattern and Image-to-texture.

Generative AI features are only available on Adobe version as it requires an Adobe account. Therefore, these features are not available on Steam.

Release date: 23 May 2024

Text-to-texture

Text-to-texture allows you to explore a new way of creating materials with a text prompt. You can generate a tiled texture from a detailed text description, and keep building on the result via Image-to-material or any Sampler filter to make it uniquely yours. 

Image-to-texture

With Image-to-texture you can create tiled square textures from your own reference image, no matter if it is non square and non tiling. This gets you closer to your desired results without needing to write the perfect prompt.
Image-to-texture can also help you save time by creating variations from content you have already created.

Text-to-pattern

The Text-to-pattern feature will use your text prompt to generate a square tiling pattern. You can then use it as the base color with a Cloth Weave filter to create an original fabric material, use it as in input of a Pattern filter and more!

In the new Generative Beta tools, I cannot get Image-to-Texture to work.  I drag in any number of different kinds of images and after clicking the Generate button, the tool "thinks" for a couple seconds and then I get a red box error in the bottom-center of the application that just says "Something went wrong. Please try again".  I've cleared caches, checked local disk space, deleted the Sampler folder in AppData\Roaming, and I've even uninstalled and reinstalled Sampler, but nothing works.  Any ideas?
