Questions

Hi, I am wondering if 3D modles of furniture I make on AutoDesk Inventor and Solidworks, can be imported into the Substance programs and fully worked on? Thanks.

I upgraded to 11.3.0 build 5258 unlike the previous version I was using until now; since upgrading, nothing is seen in the 3D view ?  

I want to add an emissive map to my base material in substance desinger but I cant seem to do that.in my 3D veiw when I go to, Material > Default > Edit, I have thisbut it makes the whole object glow and I cant find a way to add an emisive texture to control what it glows.I've tried looking online and I could only find help with substance painter stuff which is not what I want since I am using designer.  If someone could help me with this that would be awesome.Thanks 🙂

Hello, Alltough I set the Application language to english (International) Substance Designer always installs in german tried it four times now.I work on a german PC but everything is named different in german so its impossible for me to work efficiently with the german language inside Designer. How can this be fixed? Every other application installs in english (Photoshop and InDesign). Switching the language to English (US) doesn't help either.Also setting the Primery Language in my Adobe Acount to english didnt help.Thanks,Marvin

Hello,I spend two days trying to learn how to create brunt wood patterns like this following image. I've notice creating variation brick like pattern with "zig-zag" edge isn't easy as I thought after I've used or combne node with tile generator/sampler/random, cell 2 and 4, shapes, splatter, distance and etc.  Can anyone give some suggestion, tips or etc on which pattern node to begin with? 

Hello everyone, what GPU Nvidia card would you recommend for Adobe 3d Substance collection as to all of those 4 new applications, optimal use. I did check https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/spdoc/technical-requirements-172824034.html but it is not answering my question fully. Maybe you can list a couple of GPUs that will be released next year or couple of words if there a reason to get 3070/80/ti's  thanks

Hi, I have a question. If I subscribe to substance 3d. Can I convert 3d assets to a game and use them commercially by sharing game files ? Thank you

I tried Medium a year ago and want to create 3d from within my Oculus Quest Headset today. But Adobe did some changes to the 3D apps and now I dont understand how its connected, what I need,and how to enjoy creating 3d models in VR? Please someone explain. 

Hi everyoneI recently developed some ornaments in substance Designer to add to a dress that I create in Marvelous designer. The problem is that I can't find a way to export each PNG image in transparency and what to do to adapt these ornaments to the different parts of the dress, which are curved.  

I couldn't find the link to UserVoice so thought I'd make a post instead, I think it would be really beneficial to designer if you could enter the information into multiple nodes at the same time.For Example, selecting multiple material inputs in a graph and be able to fill out attribute information, like Group or Visible If, all at once. (see image) with only a few inputs I can understand but when things start getting big like with the multi material blend node having upwards of 90 input nodes, this would be super handy vs entering info into each individual node one at a time

Hello, is there a way to create a true, physical, 3 dimensional wood material in Substance in the same way that you can create in 3ds Max using the Advanced Wood Map and the Physical Material?  Here is a link to a 3ds Max tutorial on Advanced Wood Map on the Physical Material.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoVsXAZra2g I have searched for Substance tutorials showing something similar, but can't find anything.  Any help would be greately appreciated.  Thanks Dan 

i need to know how to made this by using pixel processor form scratch ?!     

I noticed that Designer has the ACES color management options. I use them in Substance Painter and there was a lot more documentation and helpful videos that directed me to the correct settings. I was wondering if I could get some help doing the same in Designer. I changed my color management to OpenColorIO and the config to ACES 1.0.3. After restart, the brightest whites almost look mid-grey.  What are the appropriate settings for a Designer to Unreal workflow?  Thanks so much,Kyle

Since yesterday, Substance Designer keeps crashing on launch.It's the trial version and it's updated to the latest version.I started a chat, tried all the fixes the bot suggested me, asked to talk with a human being just to be more specific and this is the answer: I called the help number (i'm from Italy) and nobody answers.Thanks, Adobe

Hello,  I am not able to find the PBR template when I try to creat a new substance graph. Please see the image below, hope someone can help me!

Hi everybody.I am an absolute beginner at Substance 3D Designer. I need to quickly create three 3D models of a nail file for use in Adobe Dimension. Just a simple objects, but I don't know how to do it.

I have learned Daniel Thiger's lessons recently,but I still couldn't create this pattern in SD.It is really blowing my mind.especially how to make the warping edge.Anybody can give me some idea to figure out this problem?

Hello everyone. I am trying to adapt a lingerie garment to a render shape. Let me show you. Pictures:1.This is the render shape that I took from a garment UV.2. It is the alce that I want to adapt to the shape3. I am using Directional Warp4 .That is the result I have at the moment 5. This is the method one6. The second method 7. The result I want. Adapt lingerie to the edge of UV  The questions I have are:Am I on the right way?What other methods could I use? I really appreciate your time 

So I've been trying to get my head around the modelling nodes and am frustrated by the lack of supporting materials. Adobe pushed the Tangle Tower model in their marketing, and I see it was created by one of the Substance team. So why wasn't that and other examples included with the program as aids to learning? Or have I missed it somewhere?

I was hoping I could get some help on this issue; I'm attempting to follow a tutorial, the issue I'm having is based on this scene, I cannot get the output of the height node or the node graph in general to fit proportionally to wheather it's a grid or a round cube.  I want the output of the height node to literally fit perfectly, whereas where it's black there is no height and where it's levels of gray to white it's raised with white being the highest point.   Although when you see the results of the height map output on a round cube or a grid, it doesn't fit proportionally, is there a way to get the 2D view to fit that of the 3D view ? 

Is it possible to have an input drive the x/y amount of instances in the tile sampler?As my instances get smaller, i want to increase the density/amountDo I need to use a pixel processor function and some fancy math for this?Thanks!

The effect looks like the following image.  I remembered reading a discussion earlier that texture could do the same, but I couldn't find it , I have looked for it all day……  

Hello. I used Steam version back in the day (around 2017), but it had that nasty bug then SD was closing incorrectly and couldn't be started again without manually killing Steam process first. Nice Allegorithmic support folks helped me move to standalone version which didn't have that bug.While doing my research I was surprised to find a post from 2021 describing this exact same bug at old SD forum.I'm thinking of getting SD2022 on Steam since it's the only way to keep it and wonder if:1) is this bug still around in new version?2) if so, is there any plans to fix it or it's something out of your control, say caused by Steam client and thus will remain in Steam SD version forever?3) in any case, is it still possible to buy SD on Steam, but use standalone version instead? my concern is that new licence system might have ruined this possibility too and it's simply impossible now or standalone version would "decay" and stop working in 2033.
