Hey! Wanted to share an update. Substance 3D Assets has recently removed the need to manage points to download assets for subscribers. However, if you’ve got points from previous Substance 3D subscriptions, the 3D Assets Library is open to you until the end of March.

05.02.2025 20:11 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

You're remaining points will now give you free access until 3/1/2025. Please sign into 3D Assets with your account. Should be good to go. Please let me know if you have any issues.

Please let me first apologize. I totally agree that there should have been a communication plan in place. Please send me a DM and I’ll help get this sorted for you.

In a cozy corner of a town, stood a hipster snowman, with a quirky frown. His scarf was plaid, his hat was tweed, he sipped on lattes and read books with speed.

Here's a little holiday project created with Project Neo, Illustrator & After Effects! #projectneo #aftereffects #illustrator #digitalart
