Adobe releases Substance 3D Modeler 1.13

Adobe has released Substance 3D Modeler 1.13, the latest version of the VR sculpting tool.

It’s a quality-of-life update, with changes including a new light UI theme.

Sculpt organic and hard-surface models in VR using a virtual clay workflow
Substance 3D Modeler is a SDF-based tool that lets users sculpt both organic and hard-surface models in virtual reality, or in desktop mode using a mouse and keyboard.

Workflow combines elements of sculpting and Boolean modelling, with users able to build up forms with virtual clay, then join or cut into them with Boolean operations.

Substance 3D Modeler 1.13: quality-of-life changes
Substance 3D Modeler 1.13 is a fairly small update, with quality-of-life changes including the new optional light UI theme shown in the image at the top of the story.

Users can also now change the axis used for symmetry and repetition when duplicating objects.

Some of the new features were originally introduced in Substance 3D Modeler 1.12.5, the current public beta, last month. At the time of writing, the beta version itself has not been updated.

Substance 3D Modeler 1.13 is compatible with Windows 10+, and these VR headsets.

It is available via Substance 3D Collection subscriptions, which cost $49.99/month or $549.88/year. Perpetual licences are available via Steam, and cost $149.99.
