Substance 3D Painter 12.2 Lets Artists Paint Baking Cages Directly on Models

Substance 3D Painter 12.2 introduces cage painting, smarter Polygon Fill selections, texture-set highlighting, and improved real-time rendering for overlapping transparent materials. Adobe has released Substance 3D Painter 12.2 , introducing several workflow improvements intended to reduce the repetitive setup, selection, and troubleshooting involved in texturing detailed 3D assets. The update’s biggest addition is cage painting, which gives artists more direct control over projection distances during baking. Painter uses a cage to determine how far it should search beyond a low-poly mesh when capturing detail from its high-resolution counterpart.
