Cheers! I look forward to seeing the specifics. I hope the fundamentals can get addressed first, those that can compete with any basic 3d texturing solution.

Marvelous features list!

[gg]

Really promising features. Allegorithmic did it again.
I'm glad I'm on the beta train.

There seems to be a clone of the "Clone Tool" feature on the list :)

I've some questions about the list. Please answer if you have the time.
4-8-16K - are all export resolutions. Is that right? 16K is for movies I suppose:)
Integrated baking- Is it going to be working like the Substance Designer or surpass it?
SBAR Export- How is that going to work? Are we going to be able expose any values out of Painter?

May be it is too early for me to say so (I'm new to this beta) but I was looking for some ways to control the particle brushes more thoroughly. Not sure but, may be some deflectors,bouncy surfaces and/or particles emiting from primitive shapes. Do you think there will be more particle toys added to the list?

have a nice day.

[Jerc]

4K, 8K and such are resolutions indeed.
Baking should work like in SD, probably in a more automated way.
SBSAR export will first be limited to the outputs being embedded in a substance file, it may evolve later.

[Popeye9]

Thats a great list.

[<1.SBS>Adder]

Great!! (UDIM- Must Have!!) Almost everything I was thinking, you have listed, but I would like to see ability to connect element of mesh with specific layer. It will be something like masking but simpler.

[Mike]

What about PSD export?

[unity2k]

Autodesk could learn a lot from you guys.

[midnight.stories.ltd]

Think I should have come here first, some excellent updates planned!!!

[Boonta]

WOW once this is all up and running its going to be a BEAST! finally whats shaping up to be a good 3d painting package! can't wait guys!

This is definitely something we are looking into, not certainty yet, but it looks reasonable to
think we will be able to do something like that :)

[sebdeguydrd]

Also, some SURPRISE items will not appear in that list. We have some neat ideas about innovative stuff we don't want to put up there just now before we tested them out and are convinced it is feasible and a good addition to the tool. Stay tuned then :)

Would love to see some custom shader support, with support for different PBR modes (such as skyshop's spec-color/glossiness instead of the current metalicness method). I feel it is important to make parity with substance designer on this, since idealy one would be working across both for a more complete production pipeline.

Absolutely! it is definitely in the list, if not stated this way.

[DasWulf]

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the brush system develops as well, even if its just for a solid diffuse painting approach. The closer one can get to krita or photoshop in that brush feeling the better.
