Adobe is cooked. Someone just released a Substance Painter clone called Material Painter. It imports your Substance files. It has the familiar UI. It supports thousands of public materials, and it's written in Rust and Open Source. You don't need to pay for Adobe anything. They even made it node based for even more control that SP gives you. I compiled and ran it and ...well it's pretty impressive, and this is the worst it will ever be. https://github.com/alla2001/material-painter
