The Substance Baker Bridge gives access to the Industry Leading, highspeed Baking Toolset of Substance 3d by Adobe® from within Mari.

Key Features of the Substance Baker Bridge include:

• Ultra fast baking of Ambient Occlusion, Curvature, Thickness and many more via Substance Automation Toolkit.
• Full GPU Acceleration where available, fast CPU baking otherwise
• 15 different Bakers
• Per Baker Override settings (e.g. udim range, resolution etc.)
• Bake Previews
• direct import of results into Mari
• highres to lowres Baking and mesh-linking (e.g. you only want to get occlusion from a couch onto the floor but not the walls)

Convenience Buttons to flip your Paint Through Image in X or Y have been added to the Paint Through Toolbar

• Dragging multiple selected images from the Image Manager into either Nodegraph or Layerstack and selecting a Nodetype from the

Extension Pack Node Type Chooser, will now create one Node/Layer per Image

• On Linux, pressing the 'View Template Location' Button in the Import Project Template and Manage Project Templates Dialogs, had no effect

• Unticking the 'Clear Existing Nodegraph' Option in the Import Project Template had no effect, and even when off, the existing nodegraph was still removed

• Fixed a bug in the Unreal Advanced Shader, where changing the Occlusion Slider had not effect.

• Fixed a bug in the Unreal Advanced Shader, when ingesting Materials via the Mari Material Ingest Tool, and some channels were not tagged as scalar

• The Opacity Sliders of the MultiMixer X4 & MultiMixer X8 Node were scaling the opacity exponentially down. The result was, that the same

slider values compared to a merge node was producing a different opacity

• If you have previously downloaded the Help Files for offline usage you should replace it with the new one using the method described here
