101.1
We are pleased to announce the first version of the Substance 3D Painter Connector + Extension. The motivation behind this release is to provide creators with a way to interactively use Painter’s world leading 3D texturing and smart materials with USD meshes and MDL materials from Omniverse. The Substance 3D Painter Connector works in tandem with the Create Painter Live Link extension to provide real time visualization of painted meshes in Omniverse Create. The Painter Connector enables these features:

  • Features
    • Export the Painter mesh and texture sets as USD and MDL then open in Omniverse Create
    • Duplicate the Painter environment HDR in Create as a Dome Light
    • Live-update texture maps and materials in Create
    • Import a USD mesh that’s currently open in Create from Omniverse

102.1 Point Release

The emphasis for this release is on stability, bug fixes, and some light workflow improvement with the UI… we also love playing with the Create physics features while live-updating textures within a stage:

  • Features

    • Added a button that will toggle enabling/disabling of all live-link features.
    • Added a checkbox that allows a mesh to be imported from Omniverse using UDIMs (OM-44584)
    • Added busy indicators to the Painter Connector and Create Extension for feedback during long-running operations

    • Installer uses proper exception handling on file/directory access (OM-47002)
    • Installer will overwrite files in the plugin folder (OM-49033)
    • The Texture Settings dialog will not export textures if none of the properties were changed from their original

    • Added support for OpenColorIO color management projects (OM-48645)
