ES-Shape v2.0
ES-Shape generates shapes into Substance 3D hosts, Painter, Sampler, Designer, but also third party hosts such as Blender (through the Substance 3D add-on). With a uniform interface across hosts, design simple or complex shapes and integrate them with the own functionalities of the host.
Coming with many examples, video tutorials and documentation, ES-Shape is also free for personal use!

New in 2.0
ES-Shape has nearly doubled the amount of features in this major update, here are a few of them but be sure to check the examples and tutorials for a complete list of the ES-Shape features.
- Multi-host support, specific variants of ES-Shape for Sampler, Painter (decal) and generic hosts.
- Multi-Curves: a drawing type enabling a single component to draw several curves, related by progressions on various attributes.
- Sweep effect: samples the shape multiple times with progressions along luminosity, size, direction etc.
- Radial Symmetry: layout shapes in circle with various operating attributes, works great with the Sweep effect.
- Custom Modulation: draw your own modulation with a Curve node.
- Effect ordering: main effects may be applied in any order, leading to different results.
- New effects: outline, pre/post rotations, partially reversed symmetry and other improvements.
- Styling: dashed, variable-dashed and dotted curves.
- Modularity: in Designer, drawing and effects may be used separately enabling to chain effects and improve performance.
- Parametric Profiles: applying to Thickness and Luminosity, enable to define profiles using parameters only (without using Curve nodes).
- All new Tutorial Series with over 50 short videos.
... and many other improvements.
