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.)

Link to the current version (6.0.2) hosted on the Allegorithmic homepage: https://leyfi2.allegorithmic.com/softwares/588b6cb538b81a0023c4cb24/builds/latest?platform=lin-rpm&download=1 If you download the newest version and this AUR package, all it takes to get the newer version to install are some edits to the PKGBUILD

hi @lvxejay, Yeah I wanted to update the package this week but I'm swamped with a lot of work. I'll try to do it this weekend.

@spacepluk Hey there. Don't know if you were aware, but Substance Designer 6 was just recently released.

@spacepluk, just tried installing, and it worked like a charm! You rock. Thanks so much!

spacepluk commented on 2016-12-16 17:21 (UTC)

@jesse it looks like the package made it into community and now it's called libtiff4. Try again with the new version, it should work now :)

Jesse commented on 2016-12-14 21:38 (UTC)

@spacepluk, I can't build because of missing libtiff3 dependency. Is there any way to fix this, please? Would be greatly appreciated!
