Feature Requests

Hi,Would it be possible to have an extra tag in the export texture windows that uses the Input maps name?Something like $InputMapThis would remove the need to manually define the image type (like baseColor, roughness...)I made another request about renaming the user channels in the Export Textures windows (https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-painter-ideas/user-channels-naming/idi-p/14635612), this new tag would be working very nicely for all the customs maps exported via user channels.Thank you.

The exact same feature that Marmoset Toolbag has: You can add premade texture maps to the High Po

Hello, we need a regular font tool, similar to the text editor in Photoshop and in Substance Designer.The predefined fonts in Painter are rarely suitable to use because the font don't fit the objects we are texturing. So to get a proper font we need to go to photoshop, type in a bunch of text and export into different files, import and then use them. This is very much back and forth process in order to see how it looks and its no ideal. So its better to have the option to choose the desired font directly in Painter.   So what we need is EXACTLY as the Text Node in Designer with the same functionality, I need to be able to change font type (Like any other software) change size, rotation, alignment, size.  Please add this as this is extremely useful. Thank you 🙂   

While it is neat and useful to place paths in 2D, it would also be valuable to use the tool on the 2D view. Since our paintbrush materials are already in Painter, it's vastly more difficult to add 2D shape painting via a round-trip into Photoshop or Illustrator.

In certain cases it may be useful to have the mask of a layer to follow the same projection as the layer it is attached to. For example, when using Warp projection  and projecting a Fill layer with a number of vertices, we may need the mask to follow the same transforms.There is actually a way to do this using a Substance material with an Opacity channel with User Data set to "IsAlphaChannel = True". This enables to use Warp projection on material with opacity channel, the latter masking all the other channels as well. I would like this feature to be possible in Painter without the need to use an external Substance.

Hello Adobe! I think this is a universal problem and pain - the inability to update changed geometry with an identical UV, without breaking the brush strokes. I hope that your team will do something like the "reproject by uv" option, so that the uv space was used when reprojecting onto updated geometry. For commercial work this is now the most important feature for me - the convenience of changing the mesh during the texturing process

Substance Painter is often used with a tablet, so Maya navigation with middle mouse button is not suitable. The way Zbrush does their navigation is perfect for Substance Painter, so this should be an option in preference.

Paths right now exist in some kind of vague order super position of being both on top of and behind brush strokes that as a user I don't understand what's going on. As a programmer I can make a guess but. Let me give a common example:I'm not sure of the shape I need, but I want to fill that area, flexibility to change my mind is key. So I use a path to define its outer edge. Now when I go to quickly paint the back fill area it turns out I've painted over top of the path, silly me I didn't notice in time to undo so I have to erase it, but I erase the path that I still wanted. There's nothing I can do, the path is gone. When I duplicate the path all of the painting changes gets duplicated with it. It's like there's some extra information stored into this path I can't interact with. But if I start drawing a new path, then copy the verts and copy the brush I get the path back in full form.From a user point of view the definition of the path is external to the painting commands and there's

as title.easier for copying over stuff. instead of dealing with the hassle of exporting smart materials.

Good!It would be cool to implement a $channel or $User0-$User1to automatically rename the channels 

All related to projection  painting  is super inconvenient in Painter.   The warp projection haven't changed a thing.  I believe nobody use it really.     Even in Blender it's way easier.   I can't even scale  that warp projection  precizely   because it does only from the image center  , not with  arbitrary center of transform i could  do in any image editor.   Messing with mesh deform is  quite inconvenient either . Would be so much easier to  save a camera /frame bring it to photoshop and  use puppet warp and photoshop transform gizmo  where you can set  center to scale and rotate around  at exact pixel you want .    I used same feature all the time when I used Mari .  it's so much more convenient . For example I have a building  facade photo  and want to scale a window to match  specific model  window .  

like it's in 3d max  uumap modifier.    So if I have a wall  I could fit projection to the wall  and then to bitmap dimetion  if necessary .     Right now I have to  manually  do it  and it's tremendously inconvenient .   Or let us chose another UV set  on object  please

I am new to substance designer but one of the things I've notice is is lack lateral integration with illustrator and photoshop. Specially the pen tool and masking features. I come from the 2D apparel graphic design world and trying to integrate 3D design into my work. I think it would be a great idea to either make the workflow from Pt to Ps and Ai easier or bring some of the power of those tools to Pt. I think the having a true pen tool like Ai and Ps would speed up my work faster in Pt. Also the having the ability to draw with pen tool on iv maps and seeing the updates in real time on the 3d viewport. Also if there was a way to texture the imported svg vector would be nice too. I've tried googling and YouTube to find the answers what I'm asking for and they don't directly exist. All of these apps should work hand and hand so much so that the workflow is seamless. 

There are probably methods around this problem, but I would love it if substance painter is able to have more granularity for rotation values when projecting masks.  Meaning. instead of 90 degree intervals, create a slider which the user can specify exactly the rotation degree they want.  I do like the pullout menu for convenience though, so I would not remove that.  I would even add 45 degree intervals which would help with the above issues.  The tiling and other parameters of course would have to work with these non-aligned to axis rotations. Thank you and keep up the good work, -Mike

I love the paint-along path tool, it's amazing, But I have one gripe. I have a library of paint tools that I would like to use on a path, but as far as I can tell, that isn't doable. Paint tool presets only apply to paint and path presets are separate,  so in order to use existing brushes I'd need to redefine all of their parameters again manually and set it up as a path preset, which means I'll have doubles of tools in my library, and there's no clear way to even differentiate between a path tool and a paint tool in the list.Seeing as how the only difference is two extra parameters in the path presets, I was wondering  - wouldn't it make sense to merge them so that presets can be used for both?If there's some underlying issue that makes this impossible, the next best thing would be a way to allow dragging a brush preset into the path tool panel to apply the brush settings, similar to how you can drag materials into the material mode slot.

When sharing projects with other artists, it can be useful to leave notes/comments on layers (or else). This feature would be especially useful for teams, but also for complex projects or tutorials.   This thread has been created in regards to a future QOL (Quality Of Life) release.

Currently, the displacement’s value is a slider from -0.5 to 0.5.     We could change this current behavior for values like Substance Designer with a Physical size units.     Having similar values as other 3D apps will help having a more consistent visual between apps.   This thread has been created in regards to a future QOL (Quality Of Life) release.

Details are still to be discussed, but we often need to have a similar parameter (tiling, rotation, etc.) between multiples fill layers.

For instance  I have a texture  512x4096   and want to save  it 512x2048  .   I have to go to Designer  or  Affinity Photo for that .  Adobe ,please make  it possible to save in whatever size  I want and add pixel interpolation options .  Like Lanczos3 non separable in Affinity photo.   The best pixel  interpolation  so fat for textures IMO  where I don't need to put extra sharpen node  that adds its own artifacts .
