We need more organic materials, creature skins

So many of the assets are so similar that it is hard to see how they can be classed as distinct. Mostly these should be presets not separate Substances. It seems like there is a desire to bloat the library to compete with Quixel and other libraries. This degrades the usefulness of Substance Source, making it harder to search etc.

What would be useful is if materials would have tags. More categorized. So let's say I search 'bathroom', I would get appropriate results that relate to the bathroom. Like wall tiles, flooring and etc.
Would make the searching process easier and much quicker.

When looking at categories - i.e. Marble - Granite I own many, it would be nice to have a search order button that would show me the newest first so that I can quickly see any I may have missed that came out when I wasn't looking. It seems to me that there used to be a sort but I do not see it now.

I know this is a bit bigger feature, but would be really handy. At the moment, it's a bit difficult to imagine how the material would look applied on to the object. Having this 'try before buying' feature, would ensure that you pick the right material without wasting any points.

There are a lot of outdated and some low-quality materials on Source, like almost all wood materials. They have inappropriate height map, no presets and low quality "make planks" filter.
Keep Source as the best representation of Substance Desinger materials and make all materials available up to date.

I think students should have access to substance Source material Downloads (other than the free ones) since students in who are pursuing degrees in the field of game design or testuring (or whatnot) would be nice to have an incentive since most of us are actively attending courses, we wont necessarily have the money to support a subscription service, so students can get the full experience of the substance suite including the substance Source library.

I can not save a small preview (ball). Right click does not work. It's very inconvenience. Please add a small preview (ball), when downloading sbsar file.

Thanks!

Different types of layered Plywood.

Substances are great to visulaize local details. I would love to see micro-electronic substances like circuit boards, processors and other nano-structures

It would be great to have our material library synchronised to our own shelf from our account. if you are logged in a different place, different computer, your materials will be always there, you don't have to open substance source again and download them again, over and over.
It would be very useful to have that feature in Painter.

I would like to see some food materials on Substance Source. Bread, cake, vegatables, fruit..

Would like to see some tree and plant materials - organic elements suitable for texturing trees, plants, and flowers.

It would be great to be able to set your texture map resolution like all high or all low resolution by a single slider perhaps.

when searching subs source, put owned materials at the top of the list, it makes it much easier to see which ones i actually own in certain category or using the search function. instead of all at once and using the search function does not even take into account you in a certain category

Can Substance source please be made available to all i.e. not just Substance subscribers. For example I have Substance Painter and B2M, but do not need Substance Designer, so it's not worth me getting the whole Substance Package. But I'd like to have the option to use Substance Source for SP work. It could be offered to SP subscribers for an additional cost or separate subscription or something. Hey, more revenue for you guys!

Allow purchasing of material packs in one go without having to choose every material individually and also way to download these material collections. For example the new skin collection that came out. If I'm a character artist I might want to get them all and add them to a project in one go instead of spending ages going through one by one.

Would like a jade material suitable for use with Subsurface Scattering. Can you release the jade material shown in the SSS documentation (https://support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/spdoc/subsurface-material-type-172818959.html) and a richer, darker green variant?

Sometimes you add a package of materials on Substance Source, for example recent SSS skin textures or Chris Hodgson's pack. Why not offer entire pack for discounted price? For example if the whole pack costs 30 point (1 for each material) - if you buy full pack, then get a discount 5 points...

It would be very helpful to be able to place materials I am interested in downloading into "Saved Collections." Ideally, I could place the contenders into sub-folders to organize my desired content. This is a common service offered by other resource websites like Getty and Shutterstock.

It's wonderful that there are so many material choices, but remembering one from the other after looking at many is nigh impossible. Enabling users to create personal collections would dramatically improve workflow. It would make it easier for team members to present options and cull the choices.
