Architecture Community Design Fashion Film Game Substance Alchemist Substance Designer Substance Painter Substance Source Technology Workflow. A Year of Substance: Features. Substance filters must be built in a specific way in Substance Designer to work correctly once imported in Substance Alchemist. The input and output nodes of the filter must have the identifier or usage defined. It is possible to use either the usage or the identifier.

This page regroups system requirements and hardware compatibility information.

Operating System	Minimum	Recommended
Windows	Version : Windows 8 (64bit) Memory : 8GB RAM Graphics : 2GB VRAM	Version : Windows 10 (64bit) Memory : 16GB RAM Graphics : 4GB VRAM
Mac OS	Version : 10.12 (Sierra) Memory : 8GB RAM Graphics : 2GB VRAM	Version : 10.14 (Mojave) or above Memory : 16GB RAM Graphics : 4GB VRAM
Linux	Version : CentOS 7.0 Memory : 8GB RAM Graphics : 2GB VRAM	Version : CentOS 7.6 Memory : 16GB RAM Graphics : 4GB VRAM

• For working in comfortable conditions we recommend a monitor with a resolution greater than 1 MegaPixel and wider than 1280 pixels.
• Only versions 0.8.x and above have been notarized in order to run on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina).
• On CentOS 7.5 or older, the application may not start because of library dependency issues (FT_Get_Font_Format error). We recommend updating the system or installing the following library.
• The Remote Desktop connection is possible if an OpenGL 3.3 context is available. It will work on Nvidia Quadro but not on Nvidia GeForce because it provides only an OpenGL 1.4 context. If this is an issue, we recommend using alternative solutions such as VNC/Teamviewer.

Below is a list of the GPU models compatible with the application:

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900 and above
• NVIDIA Quadro M2000 and above
• AMD Radeon HD 7700, R7 260, R9 290 and above
• AMD Radeon Pro WX-2000 / Pro Duo and above
• AMD FirePro W5000 and above

Unsupported GPU configurations

• Mac:
  • Only official Apple configurations are supported
• Linux:
  • Mesa drivers on Linux are not supported
• Integrated GPUs are not supported. While the application may be able to run on GPUs such as Intel HD 6000 or IRis Pro 6200 and above many issues can arise.

Image to Material (AI-Powered) and Delighter

The image Delighter is only available under the following configuration:

• Windows (version 8 minimum) and Linux
• GPU with more than 2GB of VRAM
• GPU compatible with Nvidia CUDA version 11 and CUDA capabilities >= 3.5

The list of NVIDIA architecture supported are:

• Maxwell (GeForce 900 series & GeForce GTX 745+ & Quadro Mxxx)
• Pascal (GeForce 10 series & Quadro Pxxx)
• Volta (Titan V && Quadra GVxxx)
• Turing (GeForce 16 series + GeForce RTX 20 series & Quadro RTX x000)
• Ampere (GeForce RTX 30 series)
• Kepler (Quadro K6000)

Below is a list of the minimum GPU drivers version required for the application to run without issues. This list may be subject to changes as new versions are released.

To download new drivers see: GPU has outdated drivers.

Vendor	Platform	Version
Nvidia	Windows	GeForce : 451.48 Quadro : 451.48
	Linux	GeForce : 450.51 Quadro : 450.51
AMD	Windows / Linux	Radeon : 19.7.1 Radeon Pro / Firepro : 18.Q4
Intel	Windows / Linux	All : 15.33
