Just a quick heads up to those guys who use Allegorithmics Substance series of programs, Substance Painter, Substance Designer etc. Allegorithmic has sold out, and the substance series will be joining Adobes Creative Cloud services.

Looks like i'll be looking for an alternative (i do not and will never use adobe, they're money grabbing scuzbags that make micro$oft look like angels), anyone got any suggestions that aren't going to break the bank?

Thats a pain to hear,
typical just start to get used to it.
good thing is substance painter is stand alone,
so i would collect as many free materials as you can now.
making your own textures in substance or mixing and saving as new materials is
easy enough to do so it wont be wasted, probably switch to 3D coat i use it and
it is great software, easiest uv mapping software to use . plus many other features,
disappointed though.

Yeah was a bit of a shock for sure.

That said, I use Photoshop CC and absolutely love it. I also have both a perpetual license for Substance Painter, and a Substance - Indie License. So wonder what the future holds there.....

@granada - thanks for the link, looks like another tool for the kit

That's cool, but I hate using nodes. ..
Might as well be using Blender 8 as its totally free and does the same thing and a lot more.
