This week I focussed on making TasteMaker more fun and easy to learn. I feel that the current tutorial is boring and does not do a good job at explaining all the mechanics. My plan is to completely remove the tutorial and incorporate it into the game.
Tooltips
Some UI elements will now show additional information when you hover your mouse over them. Creating this system took up most of my time this week because I wanted to make it as dynamic as possible, and because I ran into some technical issues. In the end I think that it was worth it because I can now add a new tooltip extremely fast. The system probably still needs some polishing and tweaking but I am quite happy with it.
Button Hiding
I also implemented a system that hides buttons and UI elements that are not relevant at that moment. The tutorial already had something like this, but I improved it and made it work across the entire game.
Small Changes
When a scenario’s challenge is finished, it will now be marked as such.

Substance 3D Designer 12.3 brings Substance model graphs to a new level with the support of subgraphs (or graph instances), plus the 'Visible if ' control for exposed parameters and some new nodes dedicated to curves edition. This version also introduces two new panels (Welcome and What's New) to improve user onboarding, and some other minor features or bug fixes described below.
Release date: October 6th, 2022
Major features
Support of Graph Instances in Substance model graphs
If you are used to creating graphs, you want to be able to make subgraphs (or graph instances) in order to reuse your work, make graphs less cluttered and be more efficient. This is now possible also for Substance model graphs: just drag & drop your subgraph from the explorer to your main graph to use it as an instance node.
We have also introduced the concept of output nodes for Substance model graphs, such as Output scene. You now have the possibility to have one or more outputs in your graph. Each output will correspond to an output pin when your graph will be instantiated in another graph.
When you right click on an instance node , you can of course access its referenced subgraph in order to view or edit it.
Thanks to subgraphs and exposed parameters, you can create complexe assets and apply infinite variations.
Other improvements for Substance model graphs
Visible if for exposed parameters
When exposing parameters, you may want to hide or show parameters based on the status of other parameters. For example a slider only showing when a button is turned on. With Visible If, you can add conditions to parameter visibility, keeping a clean and functional UI. This mechanism already available for Substance compositing graphs is now extended to Substance model graphs, using, of course, the same syntax.
New nodes dedicated to curve edition
This version brings some new nodes dedicated to curve edition: Reverse curve swaps the two extremities of a curve, Curve subdivide adds more vertices on segments according to two methods, Smoothing curve smooths out all angles on a 2D curve and finally Offset curve inflates or deflates a 2D curve, as shown below.
New graph window
The New Substance model graph window is now also available for Substance model graphs. You can add your own template or select a default one, then directly enter the name of your graph and select the package which the graph will be added to.
What's New panel
We have introduced the What's new panel – displayed the first time you run a new version of Designer – to quickly presents the main features introduced in this version.
Miscellaneous
Two buttons widget for exposed boolean parameters
You now have a new way to expose boolean parameters in a Substance compositing graph. In addition to the switch button, you can use Side by side buttons with custom texts in order to make more visible the two differents modes driven by the boolean parameter.
Resolve scaling issues for high-DPI screens
In previous versions, Designer was not able to correctly handle the scaling factor set in the operating system. As you can see in the illustration below, everything is perfectly managed on a 4K display with 125% scaling with all fonts and buttons displayed at a coherent size. Note that the option 'Disable High DPI' in the preferences have been reset to False in this new version as this option is not required anymore to have a usable interface.HighDPI_Fix.gifexpand image
Apple Silicon native support (M1 / M2) for Steam version
The 12.2 version of Designer was the first one to bring full support of new Apple machines based on M1 or M2 chips, yet that support was absent from the Steam edition. From now on, all Designer users can benefit from a faster and more efficient experience on these machines.
