Adobe announces Substance 3D Collection, but it is in addition to Creative Cloud Subscription!

Adobe just announced the new Adobe Substance 3D Tools, though for those excited to try them out, they are not included in Creative Cloud, and are instead a separate subscription. Can you say, WTF!

You get Substance 3D Stager to put models together, material and light a 3D scene to produce virtual photographs and renderings, which sounds like a high end version of Adobe Dimension (which is in Creative Cloud).

You get Substance 3D Painter to paint textures and materials on a 3D Object.

Substance 3D Sampler to create materials and textures with a photo.

And Substance 3D Designer to create your own textures, materials and models.

There is also a Substance 3D Asset Library and a private Beta of Substance 3D Modeler.

I know companies love there subscriptions, and that 3D programs are getting really high subscription prices, but this should have been included in Creative Cloud. Of course I also think it should be more than creating stills as 3D motion product shots would be amazing to be able to make quickly and well.
