Is there any chance you would be interested in making a similar addon for substance designer? The main reason I want the addon for both is the nearest neighbor filtering for viewport to make it easier to work with low res textures and seeing the actual end result in the same app without having to export the materials elsewhere, it's a shame Adobe doesn't simply allow us to change the filtering type.
The only thing that would be cool if (pixeled) height would be shown in viewport correctly. Idk if this is something you have on your radar and if it’s even possible to do.
Thanks! So there's a workaround for that! The way Painter works is to convert height to normals at the very end. So if you use Pixel8r on a heightmap, it's internally of course still whatever your project resolution is and you get stairsteps when it converts to the full res normal. What you need to do is convert height to normals yourself, making sure to black out the heightmap afterwards, and use Pixel8r on the normals. That'll get you the right look.

Will this work with substance painter 2020? (I have the steam version and can't update)
yep!

It already works in Designer!
Very useful tool!

Oh, I didn’t think about that! I will give this a shot :). Thanks!
