Need ability to export UDIM tile's name for game engine

The UDIM numbers are not useful for game engines, yet they are essential for painting and baking across multiple parts of the mesh in Substance Painter.   Instead of having to look up what part 1004 is, it would be nice if I could export it with the name I put on the tile within Substance Painter.

Yeah I was able to get it to work but first you need to give the Tile a name. Select the UV tile in the Texture Set list and inside the Teture Set Settings there is a place to give a name.This is what Im using: $textureSet($uvTileName) which will use the Udim tile name as a suffix if it exists.

Hey Cyril!

Do you know what to write when exporting using this new feature? I tried changing the name of the UV tile, but I don't know what to write when creating a new output template. I tried $UdimTile and other thing, but it does not seems to work. Checking the documentation and I cannot see any answer for that either 😕😕 Thank you! 🙂

Hello everyone,

 

I come with great news! With the 11.0 release, it's now official: UV Tiles' custom names can be used at export!

Thank you for your patience.

Awesome!  Soon I can use one material in UDIM mode, and name the tiles for export (into separate "texture sets")

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

 

I realized I never updated this post, so for your information we have officially started to work on this feature and it should land in a coming update.

 

Best regards,

This doesn't seem like it would be a hard feature to add.  Especially since there already exists naming a tile in the layer panel.  And there is already a naming convension system for the file export names.
