Photoshop procedural filters

[kirk23]

Soon Photoshop  will get its best and most amazing update for years  probably : sbsar files as procedural filters.   The ones we could export from Substance designer and do whatever filters  we would like . Not live ones unfortunately

Wish Affinity would have something like that.   Doubt it could ever read sbsar  files .  Adobe would never allow it  but I wish we could have our own procedural filter to read  " bellow " at least like some other filters  or better any specific layer  and has as an option a simple node based interface .  Something I could use my 16gb gf3080 for .

There is evidently a Blender plugin for sbsar files that relies on a component called Substace Automation Toolkit to be installed, but when that is available, is able to render sbsar files directly within Blender: https://xolotlstudio.gumroad.com/l/stxJi

It might be possible to take a similar approach with the Affinity products to gain access to these files if it is something you have a use case for - if Serif does not provide this, perhaps as a plugin once the SDK is available?

It's not actually  what I meant .   3dmax have a substance plugin too for example but  it's just a way to bypass exporting bitmaps and loading bitmap textures.  And too much of a complicated  extra headache to be useful. 

  Not exactly a "filter".  I mean something we could input  one or two images and produce  new result on the fly  . If it could read  affinity layers as inputs  then it a whole new story.
