Questions

Hi, i dont know why there is some strange dark stain on the cheek and shin on the render, but everything seem to be okay in the viewport, can you help me please ?

 

Hello, i am following a latest tutorial from Adobe YT channel for Designer and i don't have option for substance Painter in Send to option (both package and graph) it only shows Substance 3d Player. (Substance Painter and Designer both are installed from steam. both are up to date with new icons)

Hello everyone, I am following a tutorial from youtube and encountered an issue regarding height maps on substance designer. The tutorial in question can be found at this link: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0h1D5hpOA".As you can see from the screenshot, some parts of the asset are very stretched, and i feel like it's just how substance deisgner works. But before moving on I would like to see if anyone here has a solution for this problem or a workaround. I would be rendering the material on marmoset to showcase, and implementing it on UE5 on an environment I am working on. Also the parts of the books that touch wood have their basecolour blended between them, any adive on that ?thank you 😃    

Hi,I'm curious if it's possible to parametrize the blend crop into some variable so I can maybe convert it to a mask and use it in other situations? I converted it and got "Get Floa4" but I don't know how to use it. Thank you.   

Hi Everyone, I am new in substance designer and i am stuck here in blending my pebbles shape in shape splatter node for distribution.after plugin in patterns, sculpting details of pebble is going away. files are attached given belowwanna know where i am doing wrong !Can u guys help me out plzz.. ?

if there is any solution, please give me some inspiration, all tell me the api. Thank you all.

Hi. Very new to Substance and appreciate your patience. I'm trying to understand: A. What may have caused this height connection to break, andB. How do I fiix it? My .sbs has two subgraphs within it. I was working in graph 2, and then when I returned to graph 1 (see screencap), the previously-functional height connection was now a red dashed line and the material in my 3D view was no longer displaying height data. I see that I have a yellow-to-grey-dot situation but I'm still unclear as to how this happened and how to resolve it. I cycled through the Link Creation modes to no avail. This issue doesn't seem to be disucssed in the Youtube comments and my searches are hitting dead ends hence my posting here. Hope this is okay!K

Im trying to bake substances from procedural geometry from houdini. Im generating model and baking it in houdini and later im inputing it as a image to sbsar. But the effect is a lot of banding, like images are input in low bit depth. Images input are position and world space normals for triplanar, and normal for normal combine I set input node in substance to 16 F HDR low precision. Usage Any, normal or position. in Unity i set bitmaps to format RGB 16bit. When i import textures generated by houdini to substance designer it works fine. but it doesnt in unity editor. Unity 2022.1.12 URP. Im attaching the files. Meta files from untiy werent accepted.

Hi, I am new to substance designer so sorry if Im missing here something:I've recently pruchesed a substance desinger file of a material, but when I opend it there were some missing files:uniform additive_blending.sbsbrush_splatterbrush nodeIs there a way to download those files anywhere?  

Namely Height, U and V gradients  and index .     Maybe in  some of  32 bits  by some kind of an order mask for those 32 binary bits numbers  the pixel value should  be build from theoretically       or  maybe by how many numbers after comma a pixel value has.    I want to do an FX map  in 32bit mode  the way I could split  the resulting floating point image  into  those height, UV and index? And do this  the way I still could do more or less MAx (lighter)  blending?Is there a way at all or it's totally  silly idea?  

I followed the example code here:https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/sddoc/logging-188976498.htmlWhen I check the CONSOLE window I see my Messages appear twice... 

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie on Substance Designer, I created a texture for a carpet that references a flat pattern created earlier, to simulate the contours of the tufts to make it smooth between colors, the problem arises right here: I don't really know where to put my hands to get each color in the bitmap to be applied as such and such to the base color of the texture, I tried using a Quantize Grayscale to determine all the different gray tones, but it doesn't seem to work at all.I hope this makes sense, thanks in advance!I attach below an image of the bitmap: 

Hey guys, I have a perpetual substance designer key from allegorithmic from 2019. I have a new PC now and wanted to install SD but I dont know how because I cant find the standalone version anywhere and I cant seem to use my key with the Adobe CC version. I tried putting the key file in the directory but that didnt do anything.Is there something else I can/have to do? Thank you very much for any help!

I'm trying to open Substance Designer but i click the open and nothing happen how to solve this? Thanks.

Hi, I once bought a perpetual license to substance Painter, Designer & B2M via Allegorithmic, however I can no longer access the license download as the website has been discontinued. Looking at the FAQ directed me to the help center, but I couldn't find any articles. Is there a way to retrieve my old licenses? Many Thanks

hello people, can anyone help/explain to me how to get this flowery shape i linked here ? "https://www.tiles-direct.com/wall-tiles-c26/laura-ashley-tiles-c1288/wicker-blue-33cm-x-33cm-floor-tile-p4038/s4033?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=wicker-blue-33cm-x-33cm-floor-tile&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB&gclid=CjwKCAiA76-dBhByEiwAA0_s9WyDCnxuppOAljb-hcp-eXr9uLL3cQWkJMT-gMvZ0lYii01yZ5FwgxoCc7YQAvD_BwE"I tried to play around with the shapes, and various blends but i cant seem to get the rounded pointy bits at the end of each leaf. thank you

I am having a hard time making a trim sheet based in designer, I'm kinda new to designer but I think this is the best tool for the job. I have a few plant atlases that I want to combine together, however I'm not sure how i'd do this. I don't think it can be done in painter, i've tried googling how to do it with designer and not really found much. I have tried making a sample tiler and then histogram selecting the different grays to it however it only shows part of the material. I need it to show the whole material not just part of it. 

I have two nodes, and I want to insert an sRGB_to_ACEScg colorspace conversion node between them.NodeA has it's baseColor output connected to the NodeB input. I want to insert the sRGB_to_ACEScg node between them. I have successfully connected the output of the sRGB_to_ACEScg node to the input of NodeB. However, I am having a hard time trying to find out how to take what was connected to NodeB and connecting it to the sRGB_to_ACEScg node input.The smaple files all show how to create nodes and wire them up but nothing on how to get the connection and connect it to another node input.  

I can say when I try to modyfy  default nodes  to do something specific   I don't understand a thing . Moreover I don't understand a thing in my oun  pixel processors  a month after  untill I write huge documents describing  evrything that takes me forever. The reason IMO  is because SD  provides zero clue  what goes from one node to another . Please do it Blender way where we have special viewer node and spreadsheet  showing  what is going on. I am so tired to copy/paste nodes in value processor  just because it at least shows you some numbers .Ideally it should both spreadsheet with numbers , and pixel preview with "normalized: button as in some 2d compositors.Some fileld vs single value only indication maybe  like in Blender.

Hi folks!Does anyone else have problems with extrusion or is it just me?Tried to replicate the example from the documentation to illustrate. 

can i publish sbsar with udim in substance designer?

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the last bit of detail on my bricks. See the reference image on the right side, those vertical scratches. Does anyone have any ways of doing this? Everything I try spreads across multiple bricks and just doesn't look natural. Thank you 

Is there a global variable like $seed or something? I'd like the "Seed" input of the "Global Random" node to be driven by the same global random seed integer as every other node so I don't need to add another integer param just for my pixel processor.Is there a way to do this?Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a tile generator for my team, and have therefore created a base graph setup with a lot of exposed parameters that users can then input into their own graphs to blend tile and grout materials.  I'm using tile sampler as we require a lot of pattern imputs, but for some reason my "TileBaseGraph" node that I have created only uses the first pattern imput, even when 6 different patterns are plugged in. I've tested the patterns with a simple Tile Sampler node and its working fine, so it's definitely something to do with the way I've set up my base graph.  Rather than waffle trying to explain everything here I've attached a version of the file, with annotations.If someone with better knowledge on creating procedural graphs and exposing parameters and inputs could take a look and help me out I'd be forever grateful!
