Substance 3D Sampler 4.5 Enables One-Click Export To Third-Party Apps

From the Substance 3D Sampler 4.5 release, you can now send your assets from 3D Sampler directly to any app where the 3D Connector, Adobe's open-source tool to transfer data between different 3D software, has been implemented.

This update enables seamless asset transfer from 3D Sampler to third-party software with a single click, eliminating the need for manual export-import processes and saving time.

At the time of writing, the Send-to feature is available in Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, 3ds Max, and Maya through the Substance 3D plug-ins.

To utilize the Send-to, make sure you have the correct versions of Sampler, the respective third-party application, and the required plug-ins.

Below are the minimum versions required to enable the Send-to functionality:

• Unreal Engine plug-in: Released on the UE Marketplace, anything after UE5.4 is fully supported
• Maya plug-in: Available out of the box since Maya 2025, supported in Maya 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022
