For example when baking scan information against a plane. The Height baker allows to bake the difference between the low and high-poly mesh as a grayscale texture which could then be used to produce displacement on tessellated meshes. Bent Normals greatly improve the accuracy of the real-time viewport shading.įor diffuse shading, it gives a more accurate occlusion and can even look like an approximate global illumination (first example below).įor specular reflections, it allows to simulate self-shadowing and reduce the amount of light leaking, making the object feel much more grounded especially with metallic surfaces (second example below).

This texture can be used to improve the shading in the viewport by enabling the Bent Normal setting in the Shader settings window. The Bent Normals baker allows to bake an occlusion direction (as a vector, similar to normal maps). They have been added to the baker list, however they are disabled by default: These three new additions close the gap between Designer and Painter to extend the texturing and rendering possibilities.

To share and re-use settings across projects it is possible to specify a preset file. When exporting it is possible to specify the intended ICC profile that will be embedded in the texture files. It also possible to override that profile in the layer properties. When importing bitmaps, the ICC profile can be automatically extracted.

Import and export of images with ICC profiles embedded.

You can use your ICC profile to adjust the viewport look and make your colors match your monitor.

When creating a new project, it is now possible to specify the color management engine with the newly added Adobe Color Engine (ACE).ĪCE comes with the following working color space:

This new system allows to match colors across a wide range of applications, including Photoshop. In this new version, the color management system has been expanded with the support of the Adobe Color Engine (ACE) which unlocks the use of ICC profiles. Release date: 7 June 2022 Major features New color management with Adobe Color Engine (ICC support) Substance 3D Painter 8.1 integrates the Adobe Color Engine (ACE) with support for ICC profiles, new bakers, new 3D noises and 20 grunge maps and an improved eyedropper.
