what different between SD5 and SD2018?

[daniel_3DIM]

I had been with Substance designer since first version, I am not heavy user. Only use it when I need, now my SD5 beg me to upgrade to subscription version instead of perpetual to keeping up to date.

I want to made my own smart material for Substance Painter 2 but unsure if Substance Designer 5 support that? and is feature tutorial useable with SD5?
I'll need to know this before I start.


When do the right time to upgrade to match with my needs?
