New names for the existing tools – and an entirely new scene layout and rendering app Subscriptions to the Substance products are also now being handled through Adobe’s Creative Cloud. The release of the Substance 3D Collection brings branding in line with Adobe’s other software, giving all of the Substance tools standard Adobe product icons, and listings on the main Adobe product website. The launch of the Collection completes the integration of the Substance tools into Adobe’s product line-up.Īlthough the firm originally acquired the software, along with Allegorithmic, its original developer, in 2019, it retained its old branding and sales website. New Adobe branding and licensing for the Substance tools
The firm says that it has seen a 40% increase in the number of projects involving 3D posted on Behance, its online portfolio service, during the past year.Īdobe aims to attract these newer users – many of them graphic designers and 2D artists with little previous experience of 3D – to the Collection through a combination of new, more-beginner-friendly applications, tighter integration with existing Adobe tools, and a wider range of readymade 3D assets. However, it's worth noting that there is currently a discount available on the Adobe Substance 3D Collection, check out our Adobe Creative Cloud discount page for more details.Adobe has launched the Substance 3D Collection, a major overhaul of its old Substance Suite that expands the product line from specialist material-authoring tools to a set of more general 3D applications.Īs well as Substance Designer, Substance Painter and Substance Alchemist – now renamed Substance 3D Sampler – the Collection features Substance 3D Stager, a new scene layout and rendering tool.Ī fifth tool, VR sculpting app Substance Modeler, is currently in private beta.įor individual artists, pricing for the original applications remains unchanged, but Adobe has introduced a separate $49.99/month subscription plan providing access to the new products.Īimed at a wider range of users than the old Substance SuiteĪs well as artists working in game development, visual effects and motion graphics, Adobe hopes that the Substance 3D Collection will “inspire a brand new generation of designers”. This is a crying shame for everyone in the creative community. The sticker shock of buying ‘another’ Creative Cloud’ subscription could alienate 2D artists who could really benefit from applications like the new Substance 3D Stager as a gateway into 3D content creation. But does the ‘All Apps’ pricing option actually mean that? By all means, the Creative Cloud suite could do with more pricing structures that allow users to focus on set disciplines. This seems like a massive missed opportunity by the team at Adobe. It has to be paid for separately via a not inconsequential monthly or annual subscription. The Substance 3D Collection is confusingly not included in this package.
Any artist who thinks that when they click on the ‘Creative Cloud All Apps’ Plan to buy all that Adobe offers will be sorely disappointed.

So while the software developers have done wonders to integrate the Substance applications into the Adobe family, those at Adobe who are in charge of product marketing and pricing have let this hard work down.
