I'm thinking of buying Quxiel sometime this week as its on sale and I'm just wondering if Substances should be given some through? as I've heard both are good but I'm just wondering if its good for handpainting objects? If it isn't is substance something i should be looking at?
The biggest reason for me to choose Allegorithmic's Substance Designer (and probably getting Painter in the future as well) was the stability compared to Quixel's products.
