2010, August 23
Gamr7 announces the integration of Allegorithmic's Substance Air smart texturing system in Gamr7's procedural city generation middleware, Ürban PAD. The integration will vastly enhance the texturing options available in Ürban PAD to current users of Substance Air.
"Bringing Substance Air to Ürban PAD allows generation of high quality material at runtime, which greatly expands the texturing possibilities in Ürban PAD," says Gamr7 CEO Lionel Barret. "Substance Air's dynamism and speed are unrivaled, and it is the best solution for creating flexible, dynamic and lightweight textures. Substance Air is a logical fit for Ürban PAD, which emphasizes the creation of vast, on-the-fly urban environments with a small file size."
"Ürban PAD's focus on fast, rich content creation makes it a natural partner for Substance Air," says Allegorithmic founder Sebastien Deguy. "Ürban PAD responds to an ever-growing need to create high-quality, lightweight virtual urban content faster. Enhancing Ürban PAD's capacity for rich, runtime visuals with Substance Air is a natural development for both our middlewares, which focus on the creation of dynamic content with small file sizes and easy data interoperability."
A test of the enhanced texturing functionalities in Ürban PAD is now available to current Substance Air users through a special offer. Substance Air functionalities will be available for general release in Ürban PAD's 3.0 version.
New Substance Air users may apply for a 90-day trial version of Substance Air here. A 30-day trial of Ürban PAD is available here.

Substance Designer is a true sequencer for textures. This innovative tool
offers unique opportunities to mix and manipulate bitmaps, vector graphics
and procedural elements to produce rich content. Creating your textures in
the node-based interface of Substance Designer is a completely non-linear
process: even when your textures are finished, they remain fully flexible
and you are free to make any changes you want at any time.

2009, December 7
Allegorithmic today announced that Virtuos, a leading provider of digital entertainment offshore production services, will join leading Asian developers NCSoft, The9, T3 Entertainment and Gravity as the latest company to adopt Allegorithmic's Substance technology into its art production pipeline.
"3D artists are increasingly in need of efficient compositing tools for creating dynamic textures", says Andrey Supryaga, senior art director at Virtuos. "The Substance suite of tools has allowed us to easily create those textures and dramatically boost our productivity by enabling rapid iteration".
Virtuos will deploy its Substance-trained artists on current projects, and will also integrate the tool into its next-generation art pipeline. Virtuos also plans to provide training and support for Substance in the broader Asia region.

"The greatest strength of the Allegorithmic technology is that it has made fully procedural texturing a viable alternative to hand-painting, by means of a visual language appealing to artists as well as engineers. We have been researching and integrating Allegorithmic products into our engine for a few months now, and we anticipate that ProFX and its future developments will remain an important and valuable addition to our core production pipeline and technology."
"The Allegorithmic team has been excellent to work with, very responsive to our specific game and platform needs. The reduced footprint that ProFX affords us will give users a better game experience by vastly decreasing client size and reducing update download times."
"Allegorithmic has given us a new technology that increases our capabilities to create fantastic new worlds. The combination of their people and technology enables our team to work more efficiently while we invent the kind of game play that people really want."
