Allegorithmic has updated their texturing tool, Substance Designer.

Version 3.2 introduces an advanced Library View, allowing to instantly find the filters, effects and content you need in a split second, and to organize your custom searches and favorites.

Isotropix has released Clarisse iFX, its much-anticipated next-generation hybrid 2D/3D application.

Somewhere between 3D renderer, 2D compositor and animation package, Clarisse iFX is designed to enable artists to develop complex, detail-heavy production scenes while interacting continually with the final image.

Now everyone has the opportunity to learn and explore, for free, all aspects of Clarisse iFX for non-commercial purposes. Clarisse iFX PLE gives you access to all features available in Clarisse iFX commercial version. However, a subtle watermark is displayed on images and Clarisse iFX PLE saves its projects in dedicated non-commercial file formats.
