Display Low-Poly FBX filename and path in Project or Bake Settings

When starting a new project and importing an FBX, it is automatically treated as the Low-Poly mesh, but Substance Painter does not display the file name or path of the Low-Poly mesh anywhere in the Project or Bake Settings. It makes it difficult to track which mesh is being used as the Low-Poly after the project is created.

 

Although the High-Poly mesh imported for baking shows its name and path correctly, the Low-Poly mesh information is completely missing.

 

Feature Request:
Could you please add the display of the Low-Poly FBX filename and path in the Bake Settings or any appropriate place in the UI?

This feature would greatly improve file tracking and workflow clarity for users.

Thank you!

    Hello @jina_1950,

     

    That's because the "Low Poly" isn't really the same thing as the one you're using as HP in the baking tab.

     

    In fact, the "Low Poly" isn't necessary a "Low Poly" as properly said. It's simply the asset of your project.

     

    However, I agree the info is not really accessible anywhere. I advise you to open the Python console
    Window > Views > Python Console

     

    and type the following:

    import substance_painter

     

    print(substance_painter.project.last_imported_mesh_path())

     

    This will print the path of the 3D model.

     

    Best regards,
