My review will probably be a drop in this toxic sea of hate. But I switched from the 2022 version and am very happy. Thanks Adobe for the opportunity to buy a permanent version on Steam.
Of course, we want more new features, but in my opinion, it has long been clear that there is no point in buying a version every year and waiting for tons of new things there.
Finally, after a few bumpy years of meh updates this one packs some real gems like path modes, autocage and autoupdates.
Definitely would recommend, especially if you rocking 2022 version or older
Did i ever told you the definition of insanity?
Purchasing the same fkin software over and over and over again expecting something to change.
-Adobe i mean vaass
People are being way too pessimistic. One positive is it's cheaper than buying a monthly subscription! I would buy Substance this year though since there wasn't a subscription option for 2024. They may do away with the one-time purchase next year. It's unlikely they'll add any game-changing features anytime soon, so bite the bullet now rather than have to pay more later.
it brings me no joy to give money to this god awful company, and i hate to admit that there isn't a single alternative to this software that even remotely comes close to being as good, but oh well. atleast, its a perpetual license, so adobe's losing in the long run.
Good software, standard for 3D texturing, none of the competition is as good at it, however Marmoset Toolbag 5 is way better at baking. Can't really avoid Substance Painter if you want to work in 3D games with PBR textures.
Updates very rarely, so you can buy a version and use it for the next 5 years, just enough time for them to add useful 2 features. Think of it as buying COD or FIFA.
It’s completely baffling why they switched those two buttons around and then duplicated one of them—it’s just inconvenient and plain stupid. They haven’t fixed any bugs, and they obviously don’t care.
Honestly, the Allegorithmic team needs to overthrow Adobe so they can work on the program again.
Ever since Adobe scooped up the Substance developers, they’ve fallen into a deep depression and cry every day, sitting there in tears. And I understand why—how could you not be upset when you used to be a top-tier developer, and now the Adobe director is basically pissing on you, shows zero respect, and makes you crawl on all fours and bark?
A 2025 Permanent license for 200 bucks? This is a great deal. Texturing in other software that isn’t Substance (Photoshop, Blender, Maya) sucks! The only good one is 3D Coat. And the fact that Substance Painter is always adding so many updates, like the path tool and new filters, makes so many things easier that would be really hard without this software.
Don’t be discouraged to buy your license, even if you’re getting it just to learn. It’s amazing software and can help you improve your 3D results so much.
my first substance after waiting for the next update.
already whitelist several month and patiently waiting for the next update
read several speculation about when it will appear in steam or not,
now it's time to learn customize 3d models
Bought it because there probably won't be a 2026 Steam release and I was getting tired of reinstalling a cracked copy every couple of weeks. Unfortunately there is absolutely no competition for this whatsoever, so until Blender implements a suitable alternative, sail the high seas. It really is the best texturing tool available.
It's a really good piece of software. Not much different than the 2024 version. I'd wait until next year before upgrading if you don't want to buy it again. Adobe is still bad, but substance painter is really good.
Also, you get free award points for your account if you give any adobe product a good review even when you bash the company and only review the usefulness of the product.
PLEASE ADD IT SO I CAN OPEN MULTIPLE SUBSTANCES AT THE SAME TIME!!! IM BEGGING YOU ADOBE JUST DOO ITTT
you can do it on the standalone version i don't understand why you can't do it on steam version
