I am curious but have no stamina lately to learn another texturing suite . They  are all awful  and pain  in you a..   usually .      Does it have anything worth  looking  closer ?      Chat GPT  tells me it's pretty  advanced and  build on fresher technologies  than Substance Designer and Painter  but at the same time  it tells me I might be disappointed  after a switch .      Have  anyone  tried?   Any fresh opinions?   
    
I am now addicted to comparatively  new ribbon brushes  in SPainter . Does it have a similar thing but  with randomly alternating  parts like old Expression vector stokes ?

    get the demo and try it? 

    I evaluated it about 3 years ago iirc.   We've not renewed the couple of licenses we bought but that's not cos it's bad, we just weren't using it enough.

    Its' got some pretty cool features and I really like their smart-material but in designer style tooling.
    The app as a whole was let down by woeful resource management and a subpar nodegraph compared to substance.  

    It didn't offer enough reason to switch from a substance pipeline and iirc was actually more expensive

    thanks  poopipe    I tried it a year or so ago  and also had a similar impression of not being sure.   I would probably still use  Designer and Painter .   Both substances got  a few nice  new features since   and I intrigued  if  Instamat  got  something new and  decisive for a switch .   Honestly I spent not so much time with it and uninstalled due to lack of space so might have just missed  things.
