Substance Plug-in for Houdini

With Allegorithmic’s new free plug-in, Houdini users can use procedural textures created with Substance Designer.

Through this tool integration, Houdini can process materials as .sbar files. The textures can be loaded with all parameters defined in Substance Designer, and the files can also be reloaded if they have been modified. The connection between the Substance Maps and the Mantra shaders runs automatically.

Since expressions and dynamic links were taken into account during development, according to Allegorithmic the materials can also be integrated perfectly into Houdini Digital Assets.

The plug-in can be downloaded free of charge from the Allegorithmic website for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
