Substance Designer Bitmap Painting

leslievdb

Are there any plans to make the toolset for bitmap painting a bit more robust inside of substance designer?
with this i mean being able to make selections, having a shortcut for the brushsize, being able to hold shift to constraint the brush to a straight line, having a smudge brush.
I could pretty much get rid of photoshop if i had that functionality inside of substance designer

We have no plans to improve the painting in SD at this point. All painting efforts are going towards Substance painter which is much better suited for this. Smudge tool and other things are coming very very soon to SP.

We have plans for a hard surface tool in SD though, that will facilitate the creation of panels, straight lines, gradients, etc.
(You can already change the brush size with Ctrl+mouse wheel I think).

thanks for the response, the problem with SP is that it doesnt support gradientmaps like SD does. so both don`t allow me to replicate my stylized texturing workflow.

Makes sense, I think there are ways to make gradients work in Painter though, I'll work on it as soon as our pre-GDC crunch is over.

awesome! lets just say that could make painter viable at work too thanks

just wanted to bump this up again since gdc is done now
