Nothing aside from the trailer has really been said about it, including pricing/upgrading.

I would like to see a list of new features. That trailer is rather about all painter can offer. It is difficult to know what is new and what is not as some names are generic.

Nexinumbra

I agree - I'd definitely like to see a "here's what's new in v2" video at some point.

Things I was able to spot that are new:

• Smart Masks
• Clone Brush
• Smudge Brush
• iRay integration
• Scan-based Substance materials (not 100% sure if this is new, but I didn't think existing materials were scan-based)
• 400+ alphas (the ones shown in the video are hard surface related and I know those are new)
• Sketchfab and ArtStation direct export

I will be honest in that if that's all there is I'm a little underwhelmed, but Allegorithmic has always impressed me in the past so I'd love to believe there's more than is in that video.

There is a lot more to this release that will be revealed along with the build tomorrow. This is just a general overview of the new Painter but all the changelist will be available when the final build hits.

Thanks! Can't wait then!

I hope they have some upgrade offers for people who already have the 1.X version (also for these who, like myself, got it via steam^^)

Is there a Spec-Gloss template built into Painter 2?

Yes.

Just purchased, downloaded, and installed substance painter 2.  Was messing around with it for a bit.  

Pretty cool update, only thing I couldn't figure out is how to set the clone position.  The initial position is determined by the first click, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it once it is set.  Would be nice to have it work like photshop where you just press Alt or something.  

smudge works great.

I wish the baker wasn't so hard to find in the ui tho.

Other than that, I'm really looking forward to using this in production, the mask generators and improvements there are pretty awesome.

Oh, its 99.00 to upgrade, still 150.00 to buy.  If you own it already, the easiest way to upgrade is by clicking the link in the email you should have gotten.

"V" key is how you set your position for Clone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMSOXApFZJc

performance looks pretty slow

final_fight

Yeah, even painting simple mask in 2k (Vela sample) is slow with i7-4770k and HD 7970.

Jerc

JoshuaG Yes, please contact us on our contact form.
final_fight Does the performance seem slower than 1.7?

final_fight

Jerc Noticably slower than 1.7

For me its the same performance, and Finished Filters doesn`t work. Nothing happens when i apply a Finished Filter to a base material.

Sweet. 

final_fight

Found that "Painted Metal" material  doesn't work with Spec/Gloss template - it just puts basecolor into Spec and Gloss channels.

final_fight

Same thing with "Gun wood".

Brygelsmack

Are there any differences feature wise between Indie and Pro?

Are those official Allegorithmic Materials ? There are not in the default shelf shipped with Substance Painter 2.0.

Brygelsmack said:

Feature wise they are identical, the differences are the price and the licence. More info here : https://www.allegorithmic.com/products/license-comparison

final_fight

Sorry, my bad. Is there a way to separate custom materials from standard ones?

Froyok

Not at the moment. That's something we want to rework in the near time frame, the shelf is becoming very clunky.

FInish filters use the normal map, make sure your project has a normal map channel.

Thanks Jerc, works now

I just wanted to give 2 thumbs up to Allegorithmic for lowering the indie upgrade price! Very nice move, much appreciated! Thanks!

+1 Very nice move! Although I`m waiting for steam release next week because steam version should be a bit lower in price for my region.

Great update. The new mask editor is fantastic. Much better results than mask builder.

Substance Painter 2 is now available on Steam

Can we upgrade using steam ? For me, upgrading through substance website is more expensive then buying the licence for painter 2 on Steam  

Jerc

Please contact us through our contact form and we'll hook you up with a Steam license, that should give you access to the upgrade discount I think.

Don't want to create another thread so I'll ask here. How to preview brush stroke with only normal map in brush normal map channel? It's just a white square for me/

Make sure to disable the height channel when painting on the normal channel.
