Adobe Substance 3D

3D just leveled up in the Adobe ecosystem. 🙌 Our friends at Frame.io have made 3D files a first-class asset — with automatic turntable previews, USD-based ingestion, and the same seamless review and approval workflows your team already relies on for video and imagery. For Substance 3D artists, this means your materials, models, and assets can now move through the creative pipeline faster — reviewed, commented on, and approved without ever leaving the flow. Spin. Share. Ship. That's the future of 3D production — and it's here now. 👉 Check out the full announcement from Frame.io below.

The latest Substance 3D releases focus on reducing friction across the 3D pipeline. Designer 16 brings a more powerful Shape Splatter node and expanded SDF tools, Sampler 6 speeds up material creation with new templates and improved capture workflows, and ZBrush and Painter now support a one-click mesh transfer — no manual exporting required. OpenPBR support is also now live across the ecosystem. Full details on the Adobe blog: https://lnkd.in/dRPn9m2i

ZBrush and Substance 3D Painter now support a more integrated pipeline. Move from detailed sculpting to precision texturing without breaking your flow. Less friction, more creating. Available with ZBrush 2026.2.0 (Maxon One April 2026 update) and Substance 3D Painter 12.0.2.

We’re excited to share that Substance 3D Painter 12.0 is now live! Painter 12.0 introduces improvements across layer stack, projection, rendering, and project setup along with content and refinements designed to empower indie developers, major studios, and 3D artists to create without constraints across texturing workflows. Some highlights include Flatten inside the layer stack, Warp to Geometry – a new projection tool developed with Adobe Research that helps project details cleanly onto complex surfaces – and a new post-processing stack that allows you to refine renders directly inside Painter.
