One for developers here, as Substance Designer 6 [Official Site] the '3D Material Authoring and Scan Processing Tool' has seen a day-1 Linux release.
Great, but what exactly is it? Well their site describes it as this:
Fantastic to see more high quality tools get a Linux version. This tool can export textures in a number of formats for use in Unreal Engine, Unity and plenty more.
New features available in this version include:
- Text Node: This dynamic node can expose 3ds Max parameters on .sbsar files, helping artists apply embossing, stamping, and glow effects just like they would in Photoshop.
- Curve Node: A new node allows for the creation of complex curves, perfect when designing intricate structures like moldings, spirals and circular windows.
- New Scan Processing Tools: New filters like crop, smart clone and auto-tile ensure A-to-Z material creation from 3D scans.
- 16 f and 32 f Engine: Allows for the creation of HDR textures by extending the range of color and light values with a floating value.
- 8K Bakers: Users can now bake up to 32K using non-square ratios or stop assets mid-bake, providing greater flexibility with designs.
The only issue I have with it is the cost. I don't like the feeling of "renting" your software. It costs $19.90/month for the indie license or $99.90/month for the pro license. I miss the days of buy once per major version. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Substance designer 3 used to cost $560.00 new or $300.00 for a pre-existing upgrade. So a $19.00 to see if your any good with it and if its what you need and no real loss if not.
