Posting this in case people haven't seen this tool. I came across this recently and it's a real alternative to the Substance tools. It has material layering, painting (like Substance painter), material creation (like substance designer), baking etc, all in one package. It also has a free unrestricted version (you have to share how you're using it). I've been playing around with it and it's extremely powerful. Here's the link: https://instamaterial.com/

I jumped right in after a few tuts... can't wait to get into Nikita's curriculum...

Hey, Welcome to our Plasticity Community🚀 It would be amazing to see, how your setup is looking and in which environment you are using Plasticity. Feel free to introduce yourself by doing the following: 👉 Step 1: Post a picture of your setup 👉 Step 2. Write a thing or two about the essential tools that you can't without:) 🛠️ My setup (May/24) Laptop: MacBook 16" M1 after 27 years of using Windows lol iPad: It's the extension of my brain. I literally write every day, everything that comes into my mind. Strategy, systems, ideas, business, thoughts, journaling, everything... Classic Moleskine Notebook: That's my whole to-do list which I am writing every evening for the next day. I like to keep things simple in business and not to use too many tools. Graphics tablet: For ANY creative or graphical work I prefer to use a pen tablet as I am much more comfy with a "pen" than a mouse for creative tasks. Plant: To keep the environment a bit more friendly as I am working every day all-day basically. It's very minimalistic and nothing fancy, as I am traveling constantly and live in different countries (it's the 6th country I have been living in in the last 3,5 years. So I try to keep everything to the essentials and not expand to much.
