Adobe Ships Substance 3D Modeler 1.6

Adobe has released version 1.6 of Substance 3D Modeler, introducing Buildup improvements and a new Warp tool mode.

It's a pretty small update, but it's made more exciting with changes to the Warp tool behavior. It now has two modes: with the Single mode on, the tool will do what it usually does, but if you turn it off, you'll activate its snake hook behavior, allowing you to distort the surface continuously to create long tendrils great for tree branches and tentacles.

Apart from this, Substance 3D Modeler saw some Buildup tool improvements. Buildup now defaults to free placement in VR, and its textures use triplanar mapping, which should help to avoid artifacts. Moreover, the Buildup tool with free placement takes brush rotation into account in this release.

Here are some other changes introduced in the 1.6 version:

• Improved progress bar behavior for retopology on export.
• Improved selection behavior after importing or pasting an object.
• Improved copy/paste when working with objects with materials. Materials are now included in copy and paste, so you can copy materials between two open scenes, or recover deleted materials by pasting an object with that material.
• Importing a scene now also imports the materials from that scene.
• Added checkboxes to the UI system. These can now be used as future interface elements.
• Updated some strings and localizations.

Adobe has also fixed several bugs in the software so you can enjoy it even more than before.
