I spent some time with Adobe customer support and very angrily discovered that you absolutely SHOULD NOT convert your account to a substance subscription through the creative cloud. Your license WILL NOT WORK for this software. There is no standalone linux build for the Adobe Subscription model. This 2021 version will stop receiving updates around November and the 2022 version will be available for linux only on steam, so they tell me. It's probably going to be ~150 dollars and that purchase will cover the entire 2022 lifecycle, and you'll have to buy 2023 on steam when it comes out. Just FYI...DO NOT CONVERT TO ADOBE SUBSTANCE ACCOUNT!

Apparently, Adobe have dropped Linux support for all subscription based releases after the recent rebranding. Seems like Linux users are stuck with the Steam releases or alternative products.

There is a merge conflict in substance-designer.desktop

Had to remove the workaround for https://forum.substance3d.com/index.php/topic,29285.0.html. If coming from an older version, you may need to uncomment line 33 in the PKGBUILD. I now have this installed, and will be able to respond quicker to out-of-date flags.

I no longer own licenses for Substance and cannot update this package anymore.

Updated to 2019.2.0 with minor note: it looks like the HTTPS cert on download.allegorithmic.com has expired today, so the new version will fail to download until that's fixed. You can also download it manually, place the RPM next to the cloned AUR repo and makepkg -si it manually, should you need it faster.

Hi everyone:
We're just a couple of days out from the closing of the substance3d site. From what I gather, that means it's the end of updates for this AUR package, unless there's a surprise build upstream before the end of the month.
If you wish to continue getting new versions of the Substance suite, I highly suggest picking it up on Steam, because that is the only place where Linux builds will be maintained anymore. You might want to wait until "Substance 3D Designer 2023" is available, though, as then you'll get more updates for your money.
In case, for whatever reason, anyone wants to continue using this (Allegorithmic) package, I'll see about finding a way for users to download the builds themselves after the site's closing (maybe archive.org would help?). I already downloaded every build for myself, so if all else fails, I could just re-upload individual builds on a case basis, but I can see that idea not being popular.
Also, quick reminder: download your license file! If you want to continue using this package after EOL, you'll need it to authenticate yourself. Log into the substance3d site and go to the "Licenses" tab to find it.
Update: Now that the Substance accounts are EOL, users can no longer access their accounts, but it's still possible to redownload your old perpetual license keys. Adobe explains how in their Substance account end-of-life FAQ. As for downloading packages, I have bad news and good news. Bad news: I don't think I'll be publishing the build archive I've been working on. Between redirecting users, potential licensing issues, and security implications, it's pretty much a logistical nightmare. Good news: The existing official download links still work, so people can continue downloading the builds as long as they have the links. (No guarantees these AUR packages will stay up forever, though, sorry.)
