Render directly with NVIDIA Iray and enhance your images with Yebis post-process effects. Experience a state-of-the-art real-time PBR viewport while working on your assets.

This new mask effect allows you to blend by comparing the content of the current layer with the one from the layer stack underneath, similar to the Blend-if function in Photoshop. Combine it with the updated Seamless Material sample project to create tileable environment materials rapidly.

Dynamic Strokes introduces a way to generate procedural brush strokes based on Substance parameters. Your brush can evolve over time, swap its alpha at random or even generate a whole new material with each stamp.

You can now choose between a Spherical and Planar projection for your layer. With the Planar projection, your Fill layer will then act as a decal and several options allow you to play with tiling, as well as with how far the decal affects the geometry.

A release of Substance Painter is never complete without some UI tweaks, and this time the Layer Stack, Texture Setlist, and Channels list went through the hands of the UX team.
