There will be a significant change concerning the Substance in Unity native integration. Since the end of the support of the native Substance integration in the newer versions of the engine, we’ve been working hard to make a quality Substance plugin available for Unity 2018.1. The plugin is still natively integrated from Unity 3.5 to Unity 5.

This change allows us to directly control the code of the plugin, and to provide you with new features, sooner and more frequently. The new plugin, which is currently under construction, will contain all the features of the native integration: direct access to materials from Substance Source, real-time updates thanks to the LiveLink with Substance Painter, and procedural material generation from Substance Designer directly within Unity.

Keep an eye out as we will keep you informed about our advancements!
