This Bonus Tools ship with 25 free Substances, including:

• - 10 advanced realistic textures that will allow you to create infinite variations of your Materials thanks to the dynamic attributes that come with every Substance.
• - Four advanced stylized Substance textures. Create Hi-quality visual effects with this set of colorish and animated textures.
• - Four 2D noises - Create customizable and animatable masks between textures or material, use these textures as Density maps and so on... This set of procedural noises are a great addition to the already available 2D noises in Maya.
• - Seven filters - Introducing a new type of Substances that works with an input image and produce a fully customizable material. This filters can also be used with the new "Node Based Render Passes" in Maya and apply breathtaking Post-processing effects.

Thanks to the Bonus Tools, Maya users have now the ability to render Substance smart textures with the mentalRay renderer without baking outputs to bitmaps. The Bonus Tools ships with a set of scripts that will allow you to automatically wire a mentalRay shader network or convert an existing Substance shader network.

The Bonus Tools is also shipping with a second set of scripts that make the Substance node connectable to a file node within Hypershade. Game developers now have the ability to use Substance Materials with their own cgFX shaders.

And that's not finished!

We are delighted to announce that our good friends from Chaos Group have recently released Vray2.0 for Maya which is now fully compatible with Substance smart textures. Maya users can now use and tweak Substances with the interactive rendering and adjust the look of their material interactively within Maya's Render View.
