Hello, I havent had this problem in the past, but all my textures are having super harsh gradients. Making this program literally unusable. I will have pictures of a very simple setup.   This picture is the graph, creating a very simple rock shape This is showing the AO to kinda depict what is going on  This is being cased by the base shape having harsh stepping. I have tried applying blurs and everything and it doesnt work  Thank you for all the help, i really need to fix this soon. 

Hello I note that exporting from Blender to Substance Designer in .fbx keeps material IDs right when opening a mesh.how do I output two materials to be displayed in their IDs in the substance designer viewport?or do I need to make a colored map to make the 2-material blender? what is the material output setting to use with blender 3?thank you

Hi! How I can input albedo2 to secendary maps in Unity shader? When I drag and drop it into material, it not saves it. Each time I click out of my material, the secondary maps go away. I saw some old topic on this forum: https://forum.substance3d.com/index.php?topic=7824.0 ,but the answer in there, was to create another substance, which in my case it misses the point. Because every change I have to do twice. Is there some changes in this area last years?

Hi everybody,  I´m new in this 3D business and I have not a great knowledge all about this 3d designer, therefore I´m watching adobe tutorials and try to copy the workflow. I´m working with the german 3d designer and there I can´t find the "node scatter on curves". The only thing I find, which looks similar is "curve sample", but this modifier has only one input. I couldn´t find any description in the help documentation for the 3d substance designer etc.  Can somebody give me an hint? Roger

How can i expose color parameter without alpha?

Hi, I'm working on a tool that involves a QTableWidget. I'm trying to set the background color of individual cels based on texture assignements. The problem is, no matter what I try, the color stays the default Designer background color. I've tried QTableWidgetItem.setBackgroundColor() and QTableWidgetItem.setBackground (brush) and it doen't change. Setting a stylesheet for the QTableWidget does change the background color, but it changes it for all items and I still cannot set individual item colors. -chad

As much an observation as a question, why are the Adobe 3-D products so removed from the creative suite? There seems to be almost no interface crossover to allow designers to build on existing skills.Secondly the cost of the subscription is an entirely separate option not offered as an upgrade to the existing creative suite. As of 2022, Adobe was thought to have approximately 23 million creative cloud subscribers. As a professional graphic designer of 30+ years experience, I would have thought the concept of being able to offer my clients "some" product modelling or even digitally recreate products and map them into a real world scene seems like a no brainer.Work with me here guys, 20% extra to be able my clients some 3D using parst of my existing skill sets IE:Ctrl + - Zoom in - Out etcImport AI files for extrue shape paths

Im having an issue with one image im running through a oil painting script. The resolution is 2048x1024 but the default res throughout the script is 2kx2k. is there a way to set the entire script to match the resolution of the original image? When I export, everything looks stretched. This is what I'm getting so far. The background is coming out very stretched. 

Hello! I've been running into an issue with rivets along edges, and not sure how to solve it. I'd like to have them like in the image. Masking out the edges and using a tile sampler yields random results, tried vector maps and cant get that to work either. Starting to think maybe FX map or pixel processor but I have no idea how either of those work.. Any ideas? Thanks!

 Steam 2021 Substance Designer.When using Substance Designer to create basic materials. I want to make channels that can use Position and WorldSpacenormal maps. Since the color space used for these two maps is RGB, I can only use the Input color node. But this node he can't export as a channel.How can I create this channel.

Hello,Bit of an odd one this but I'm aware of where to save my fbx's so I can view them by default in the "Scene" list of the 3D View in Substance Designer, see image "Custom Mat Ball".However the issue I seem to have is that whenever Substance Designer automatically updates, it gets rid of any fbx files I've saved to the ProgramFiles/Resources path etc.So my question is:Is there somewhere I can save my meshes where they won't get removed following an update?In the Documents folder for Designer perhaps? How do I go about this, specific naming of folders etc?Thanks and I hope that is clear enough.Dan 

Hi everyone!I need some help. I am trying to create stylized rock pattern and now i want to add some cracks on its corners. Those cracks should be triangular and be of different sizes. And now it's a bit tricky to me how achieve that result. Some people tell me to use slope blur but using slope blur usually gives a rounded result, but what i need are cracks with sharp corners. Do someone have any ideas how to make it? I'll be very glad for any help.Result should be something like this 

Hi, I'm working on a material that will only have a base color output.And I'm trying to create a baked light effect, but I can't achieve a glossy or metallic effect.I found a material in the substance painter that gives the desired effect.(attached a screenshot)How can I get similar functionality?

Hi gang!First of all, and I know how cheesy this may sound to you, but I'd still like to thank Adobe for making this amazing software available for purchase on Steam, thus with a perpetual license. Buy once, use as long as you want. I discovered this last week and treated myself to a Substance Painter & Designer license because I was convinced that this would enhance my 3D setup tremendously. Now I dare say that this was actually a bit of an understatement! 😁  The combination of these two still, well, amazes me. But enough rambling. Sorry, I had to share because trust me when I say that I am extremely satisfied & excited about all the new possibilities I now got. And I've only been using this for a week! Question for you guys... I see a lot of YouTube videos where people want to build a material preset and then start off with one of the "Metallic roughness" templates. To be honest I never liked any of those templates because you start off with a seve

I have used 3D software  in the past, but a long time ago!! Are there any pointers on how to get started? Can i import drawings to get started?Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated! I only have a 30 day trial so need to give this a good go before trying something else!

Hello everyone, I already have SD 2020 (purchased on Steam) which is now expired. I am planning to purchase SD 2022 once released on Steam. Wondering how can I upgrade to this new version? Do I need to treat it as new software and create a new account on "substance3d.com" or the existing connected account on "substance3d.com" will still work? Please help me understand the process. Any response would be highly appreciated.

Hi there,Recently i've encountered a very annonying bug with Substance Designer in which designer crashes when I attemp to link a 3D Mesh. The window pops up and immediately crashes the tool. I've tried reinstalling, but it still crashes. I've managed to work around this by going to Link > Other, and loading meshes that way, but I'd love to know why linking 3D meshes is crashing. Note: it's not my mesh that's crashing the application, I don't even get that far, the tool has crashed before I can pick anything mesh to link. It could be because my previous path towards linking a mesh no longer exists as I archived some files, but why would that crash the entire application?!

I've noticed when using a cube to preview my material in Substance Designer that the bevel I apply looks quite warped at certain angles. If I switch to a rounded cube or cylinder however, everything looks clear and sharp. I was curious as to why this is? Is it related to the geometry of the mesh? When I export this and use it in other programs will I encounter similar issues?Screenshot:
