Xolotl Substance Add-On For Blender - Use Substance Files (*.Sbsar) Inside Blender
*This product is up just for historic purposes since Adobe finally launched their own native plugin for blender, for current users, if possible I will expand on adobes functionality to streamline the use of substances and I will let you know in time
This is a plugin to use Substance files( *.sbsar) inside Blender
The latest update allows you to import the substances easier and adjust them to see the results in the viewport faster so you can iterate and speed up your texturing workflow.
IMPORTANT: Since the SBSAR format is proprietary and protected by Substance , to use this plugin is required that you have installed the Substance Automation Toolkit which is not included here, you need to directly acquire it from Substance
