3D artists and designers will face no more frustrating download limits in Adobe Substance 3D. The tech giant has announced that subscribers on a Substance Collection or Texturing plan now get unmetered access to the Substance 3D Assets library.

That change means no more monthly limits or having to manage credits. instead, creatives will have complete access to the collection of nearly 20,000 professional materials, models and lighting environments, which can be used directly with most major 3D modelling software.
