2024 is already off to a great start for Adobe Substance 3D. Following on from Adobe’s big December releases of Modeler and Designer, they’re excited to release the latest version of Sampler featuring new and updated content, new generators, and updates to filters.
Substance 3D Assets has also added new 3D models, and we’re fast approaching a new year of events where you’ll be able to catch up in person with the latest and greatest in the Substance 3D Collection. Let’s take a closer look at this month’s Substance 3D news.
Substance Sampler 4.3
The latest release of Substance Sampler brings a range of new and updated content across multiple aspects of the application. First up, you’ll find a new type of parametric texture generators in the Assets menu. These new generators work just like a 2D image in Sampler and can be used anywhere as an image input. Unlike imported images, these generates include a parameter menu that can be used to fine tune as you create just the look you need for your material. A revamp of Starter Assets materials in Sampler will make it easier than ever to create photorealistic and stylised materials for a range of design industries, and new filter tools as well as updates to existing filters will help you get great looking results faster than ever.
New parametric texture generators
With the new texture generators, Sampler gives designers more creative choices with using parametric noises, patterns and grunge options. This comes with advanced control over the output of each generator that can be used in masks or channels maps. This helps establish a great balance between technical and creative design when crafting materials.
Updated material assets
The filter tools have also been optimised to be faster and offer an improved user experience. There is also a new Perspective Crop tool that significantly enhances the tiling workflow in Sampler. Distorted materials can now be cropped by adjusting four control points. With the crop applied, the texture can be tiled with reduced distortions.
Finally, the Embroidery filter has been updated to enhance precision and now supports up to 8 colours and reintroduced material inputs in the layer stack to add fabric inserts in your embroidery designs.
Meeting your needs with Substance 3D Assets
Substance 3D Assets is a library of over 18,000 high quality 3D assets exclusively available as part of the Substance 3D Collection. These are professionally produced high-quality 3D assets that can be used in 3D projects across all types of design industries.
To keep up with your ever-expanding creativity, Adobe regularly updates the 3D Assets model library. In January, 90+ new 3D models were introduced based on user feedback — covering ships, space, art, and plants — all designed to address specific requests and complement existing asset collections.
