Allegorithmic has released Substance Designer 5 – the new iteration of its node-based texturing hub for the next generation of game artists. It introduces new features dedicated to next-gen procedural art, as well as pipeline enhancements that ensure consistency for large-scale teams as they share and reuse assets. Non-linear and non-destructive, Substance Designer 5 is the most efficient way to create PBR materials for real-time 3D projects.

“With Substance Designer 5, highly demanded features aren’t the only things we are adding,” said Dr. Sébastien Deguy, Founder and CEO of Allegorithmic. “This release also marks the introduction of Substance Engine 2, a major upgrade to the core engine behind our ecosystem of products. With Substance Designer 5 and Substance Engine 2, the creative possibilities offered to texture artists are now endless! I am truly excited to see what our vibrant community produces with them.”

Key New Features Include:

• Substance Engine 2.0 – New generation of Allegorithmic’s core tech will push Substance Designer’s power of expression to new heights.

• Processor node – This true image processor allows you to read input images and apply any custom effect or treatment using visual programming.

• Transfer Baker – Transfer textures from one mesh to another without worrying about UV changes. Name matching between the high resolution and low-resolution meshes allow artists to bake every part of their object separately and merge the results in one click.

• Tri-planar projection – Any image can be applied to a mesh with no visible seams, helping to control the scale and rotation of the projection.

• Dependency Manager – Makes asset management and sharing of Substance files across artists and studios intuitive and painless.

• New Template System – Creates starting templates tailored to custom engines and pipelines.

Substance Designer 5 is available for pre-order now for the Mac OSX and Windows platforms. It will be officially released on March 4, 2015 with prices that run $149 for an indie and $590 for a pro ($749 floating).

Shokunin (Sho-koo-neen) is a Japanese word used to describe an individual that aspires to become a master in their particular craft or art form. Ryan Neil falls firmly into this description, as he has been practicing the art of Bonsai for nearly two decades. In this short film, we get a glimpse at the broader thinking behind a professional American Bonsai practitioner, as well as some of the inherent challenges and aspirations that come along with the pursuit for bonsai mastery in America.
