We really hope this new content will help you reach new creative heights with Substance Designer. Most of these elements were introduced after you requested them, and we can’t wait to get your feedback on them.

How we keep improving the Substance Designer UX will depend on the information you give us. You can talk to us on the forum, Uservoice and on our Discord server. The Allegorithmic team is just a click away, including the Substance Designer dev team!

And there is another thing you have requested many times. Today, its first version arrives in your own Substance Designer: a new Python scripting API.

New Python API

In complement to the Substance Automation toolkit, we are building a Python API that will eventually allow you to control every part of Substance Designer through scripting.

Today, we introduce the first step of this API, which lets you access runtime data in the graph (the new “Node Align” tools are built from it) as well as exporting and saving outputs from Substance graphs. Next, we will let you write and create data, which will give you extra freedom to automate your workflow in Substance Designer.

Tune in tomorrow to read all about the scope of this API on the Allegorithmic blog, and the overall scripting capabilities of Substance Designer.
