Substance anyone? Added to both Max and Maya and Softimage version is probably not even planned. Face Robot is left to die, while some may not agree I still think that it has great potential and with some modernization and development it could be still fantastic tools. Rigth now there are more problems with it than solutions.... most secure option is to have separate FR head and export baked and animating facial animation without body and the rest of scene is working half blind.. to name only one issue..
So no it is not bitching it is just being concern seeing that after couple years and versions, updates are little to none. And as much as bug squashing is important so is tech development. Alembic available but not implemented in SI, Substance too and so on... How no tto be concern... HQV anyone? I mean c'mon... wasted dev time... and still to this date we can't preview characters and models for games in main software but has to rely on 3rd party like Marmoset for example just to be able to display all maps together, color, normal, spec in viewport.
