Match by suffix doesn`t work properly

If you keep the suffix empty for the lowpoly mesh and only do one for the high mesh as in

it won`t properly match for the AO and curvature i noticed, it will show intersections from other meshes in the bake on both of those maps. It does however match it for the maps using the common Match by Name property and will show a match in the Matching By Name Log

 

when i rename my lowpoly to have suffixes and i switch it to the following it does work for all maps

 

So i`m suspecting it isn`t properly matching for any map that has an individual setting for name matching if the lowpoly doesn`t have a suffix

no problem,

i personally like not having to have the lowpoly suffix because clearly the matching is possible without it and it allows me to have the same lowpoly names for production and baking. so if its possible to also have it work with the other maps that would be ideal

Hello Leslie,

 

Thanks for reporting, this is an interesting behavior.

 

Usually, Substance kind of expects to have a suffix for the low poly and the high poly, but the result is surprising. We'll make more tests in order to keep a certain consistency in the baking behavior.

 

Best regards,
