Has anyone else envisioned a Houdini material authoring workflow that integrates SOP+VOP+COP like this?
I did. In my dreams and wishful thinking. Maybe with COP3 nodes we will get it. That is, if they ever MATerialize.
Anyway, that's the first time I hear of this software, but it looks promising. I guess it aims to be a replacement for Substance Designer, and thank God for that, because I want a divorce with Adobe. I have an aversion to megacorporations, so you have just made my day a very happy one, dear Carlos. Hopefully Abstract's next step will be some kind of InstaPainter program, just to mock Adobe.
I'd like to try this software out, but I am unable to determine whether they have already made it available to GNU/Linux users or not. On their website in one blog post from January they promised that GNU/Linux support will be introduced in 2024. Other than that post, there's nothing more than silence regarding this subject and I couldn't find any information about software requirements on their site. There's no way of finding this out, other than registering first in an attempt to download the program, which of course I won't do, unless I'm sure it will work on my workstation. They really should post some information about requirements for potential customers.
