TLDR: Adobe sucks lol I own this program begrudgingly as there are no real good alternatives. Expect many shortcomings with substance painter, and if you use AMD Radeon cards, you can flush away 200$ with this program, it's unusable without an Nvidia graphics card. No it's not even decent with the Radeon 7800xtx. The only good thing about this is that Adobe has yet to bloat it with AI slop. Give it some time though.

*THE* leading industry-standard program for texturing with tons of features and a large community for tutorials, materials and general support. Free alternatives exist but if you want to get into "the industry" (game design, modeling, etc...) eventually, you'll have to touch this program (or a version of it.) As a one-time purchase, the price isn't at all bad if you use it often, and/or you manage to get it on sale....

the camera movement sucks, it was 200 dollars, and i lost a project I'd been working on for 3 days. everything adobe touches is ♥♥♥♥ Edit: 480 hours in and it still sucks. It's terribly laggy and I'm running it with an RTX 50 series graphics card and it takes minutes to load projects. How do you ♥♥♥♥ up a piece of 3D software THIS BAD?????
