Worth upgrading 2019 to 2021?

[stickydude]

Hi,
I'm using Substance Painter 2019 and loving it.
Will there be any new, QOL features / new materials to justify the the upgrade? Or is there at least a roadmap of what's coming in the future?
Thanks in advance :)

UDIMS, baking performance, decals and Photoshop brushes were added amongst the most prominent features.

Yeah that's why I didn't upgrade before, not very useful features to me personally which is why I was hoping there's any information about what's coming in 2021

if u own 2019 u get 53% discount, so its worth upgrading imo

From what I've heard they're planning to change the UI then release new series of tutorials based on new UI.

I'm curious too, there's nothing wrong with the UI for me, or at least I really like it

I still don't know what I'm paying for.
There are 53 days to consider.

Greedy Adobe can sell new version at high prices showing no new features.
Upgrade price has little difference between license holders and newbies.

That I don't know I'm afraid. Let's hope it turns out to be something undeniebly better. Although, I have no complain on current UI.

Is it eazy to read?
Yes.

Is it compact design and modular?
Yes.

Is it eye friendly color?
Yes.

So I'm all good here with the current design. But I believe it's more of a technical neccesity for the software design itself to make more room to be able to place upcoming planned features into the software in future.

I really don't mind the current UI, I'm sure it could be improved but I don't have any specific feedback. The thing that really bothers me is the mouse controls for navigating the 3d viewport. I've been using Blender quite a bit and I simply cannot get used to the different keys for some reason.

I am still hoping for support for 3DConnexion Space Mice, I cannot live without them (Plural).

I have the same problem. Actually I tried to rearrange the navigation controls in Blender but then it was unusable because it conflicted with other controls.

Adobe should allow remapping.

I tried Painter on my tablet and they have huuuuuge problems with UI scaling. Windows are off screen and you can't press buttons. Also they need to add UI for UV baking.
