While Medium was only ever available on the Oculus PC store, now that Adobe acquired the company it’s possible that we’ll see support for non-Oculus headsets too. So far we haven’t seen mention of headsets beyond Rift S being supported by Substance 3D Modeler. And then over to Photoshop for a final paintover,” Choy explains. When you are ready to take things further, it will be easy to send your work into for texturing and materials, and then for a final render in, Blender, or another lighting tool of choice.

“Modeler will be the starting point for your ideas, and from there you will have a smooth transition into the rest of your professional workflow or pipeline. This is an efficient way to duplicate parts of your creation and add repeating details, assemble complex scenes, or play with variations of your design.”įurther, 3D Modeler is designed for seamless integration into the rest of the Substance 3D toolset. “It will be easy to copy and organize content as instances, so when you edit one of the objects, all of the siblings also change. For Modeler, we are carrying over this capability but also giving you powerful assembly features,” says Choy. “With medium, much of the workflow was focused on the creation of organic and hard-surface objects. 3D Shape-based Interaction to Modify CAD-data Parameters Main difficulty of a 3D shape-based interaction with a parametric CAD model is the 'unpredictable behavior' of shape evolution due to the internal constraints. Users can even use industry-standard stylus input for “prevision and surface-based sculpting,” or pop into VR for intuitive, hands-on modeling that’s designed to feel like working with clay. In a video segment about the Substance 3D suite Choy says that Medium will continue to be freely available in the Oculus PC store, but 3D Modeler is a new direction for the project, which is “built on the foundations of Medium, but with a more ambitious vision that’s geared for professional workflow.”įor one, 3D Modeler works with both flat screens and VR, and artists can switch between the two at any point. Oculus Medium lead designer Lydia Choy, who transitioned to Adobe in the acquisition, is also playing a leading role in the development of the Substance 3D Modeler.
