Questions

Hello, We are trying to implement our own unittest within designer and are using the sample test runner that comes with Designer as a template. However, when running unittests, the results are logged as errors and are red even when the test technically passes. Is there a way to have the unittest output instead be logged as info when passing? Attached is the code ran and the console output.  import designer runner = designer.TestRunner() runner.runAllTests()  

When processing high resolution images from scanning will slow down Designer a lot, especially when I'm using 8K+ workflow. Is there a way to use proxy nodes for the source images or at a designated node, then later on switch these proxies back to full resolution?

Hello,I'm relatively new to substance designer and encountered an error when following a tutorial that I don't know how to fix. In the attached image you can see these weird wavy patterns that almost look like a "topography map". I tried blurring out the map and instead new topography-like lines show instead of just blurring out the lines. My substance material is already in 4k resolution and the preview in marmoset which is where this picture was taken already has a level 5 subdivision at 24 million polys so I'm not sure what the issue is here. I didn't know what to look up on google to fix this issue, I tried a couple searches but couldn't find anything related to my issue.Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I do scroll saw work and want to create my own designs such as the chess piece attached. Want to do animals and other artwork as well. Can this be done using Adobes 3d? And then where do I go to learn how? I'm obviously new to this. Thank you

Hey all. I'm following one of the official designer tutorials and I'm having some inconsistent results. For example, when I use the alpha merge with a color and my greyscale arrow, only the solid colour shows up in the 2D viewport. In the tutorial, the arrow shows up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Here's a screenshot to illustrate the issue. Any help is appreciated. 

So if something is missed  I could  relocate to other drive or folder and  Substane Designer   would find files automaticaly  instead of me  going to  each of of yellow triangles  and do it for evry files one by one ?

Hi All, I'm following the instructions here with latest substance designer and sampler builds (11.2 & 3.1)https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/sadoc/custom-filters-172823668.html  I can make custom filters fine but I want to expose material slots (for example like the splatter filter) I'm using the default sampler filter graph as the base and I've compared to how the splatter filter is set up looking at the  sbar for it best I can and as far as I can see I've set it up the same but I never get the material dropdown or slots appear when I add the filter in sampler.  Feel like I'm missing something obvious but spent to long on it already! All my other exposed parameters come through in sampler just fine and work as expected. this is how I have it set up each set of materials in the correct group and naming convention  user data in the high level graps (just on graph so havent assed the additional material specification etc

Hello all So I haven't any experience with this 3D stuff and I have a concept Idea I want to put together. I got started several places the lead me no where so Help is the way. My question are about getting started. My last thought was to use illustrate or another design app to draw the 2D version of the faces I want to the export into the 3D territory and eventually  beable to use for real world 3D printing. What are the suggested steps from jump to Printing machine. Because I just move way tp fast and way to much and run into the same dead ends over and over.

HelloMy project is setup to use legacy color manegment.When exporting in UI or sbsrender, the results are different between exr/tiff. Exr are slighty brighter.Any ideas why switching format results in different outputs?Ex:sbsrender render test.sbsar --output-path export_exr/ --output-format exr --output-bit-depth 32f --set-value '$outputsize@10,10' --output-colorspace Linear sbsrender render test.sbsar --output-path export_tiff/ --output-format tiff --output-bit-depth 32f --set-value '$outputsize@10,10' --output-colorspace Linear

Im trying to establish better link with Substance and Houdini , trying to get the best of both worlds. Basically, if I create and get some asset a look made in substance of a given procedural shader like an edge and scratch procedural wearing material recreat live the mesh dependency map directly in Houdini, without any export, baking in substance, importing back blablabla... When I link that AO and curvature with an external prebake EXR map it's work (after I have to fix a naming error in the Lab tools) but not when I try to "live" connect.The input image plane for the occlusion doesn't seem to be recognized and taken into consideration in the SBSAR processing, the odd thing is I use the same thing for the curvature and everything is accepted. I, I mean We the studio will appreciate your suggestions.. thanks  ________________________________________________________________Vincent Thomas   (VFX and Art since 1998) http://fr.linkedin.com/in/vincen

Hello there!I was working with one of the megascan textures (JPG format) that i wanted to edit to desaturate it and I found this weird effect: The desaturation was being applied by zones, just like if there was a mask. Here you have a gif with the example within Designer:  Here you have the same image being edited in Photoshop:  Is there any reason why this is happening? How can I get a more general/uniform desaturation effect in Designer?Thanks for the help! 🙂

I don't have a link, but my understanding is that Substance is a different subscription, not the one with other programs   https://creative.adobe.com/plans

My employer has added the Substance programs to my account, which I am able to verify on the web via my Adobe account, however the apps are not available to install via Creative Cloud - they just say "Try/Buy".  So I have gone and installed a demo version of Substance Designer, but that only buys me 30 days.  Why is my plan not reflected in Creative Cloud?

I would like to create transmission weights, an input (maybe a slider) for IOR values, and some other properties for transparent materials such as glass. There is an Output Node for Transmissive, but I don't know what information this convesy, and I don't know how to feed it any information. Are there ways that I could create this kind of transmission information that could appear in a published *.sbsar file?

Hello fellow substance designers,I'm pretty new to substance designer, I've probably only used it for anywhere between 5-10 hours and I keep on running into the same issue and can't find an answer to it anywhere. In the images I've attached, you can see this little sharp zig-zag patterns that run along the edges of some of the materials that I've been working on. I don't know exactly how to describe them, maybe you can see what I mean in the images. I know you can't see them from a distance but they're not nice to have and I'd like to know if this was a normal occurence or if there is a way to get rid of them? These are screenshots taken from inside marmoset toolbag.

Is it possible to select and move several points in svg node?

Hey guys, Trying to create a substance designer vein pattern in substance designer but not sure which nodes to use - any tips would be welcomed! Thanks,Ed

I am trying to figure out how to get the preset information (mostly just the label) from the API and cannot find it in the values considered Input SDPropertyCategory. I've looked through the documentation and cannot find this information as well. Anyone know how to get this? Thanks

Good day, tell me please, I ran into such a problem. I installed the latest version of Substance Designer, launched a new project, and in 3D any mesh looks like this. The same thing happens with ready-made graphs, only the texture is blurred.

Sampling Address Mode:Currently only support warp.This causes some additional node blocks to prevent some issues.         With bilinear sampling mode, coordinate which are extremely close to border causes some problem.         To perform mirror, clamp, border sampling mode, the user should build node graph.         Sample color, gray node should have the 3rd parameter, address mode. Warp for default value, and add mirror, clamp, border mode.Matrix  Native matrix support should be added. Since typical normal map is composed with vector 3, SD at least contains matrix 3, but actually not.Current matrix2x2 is just a case of using vector 4. It requires matrix multiply node, not a simple multiply node. 3. FX Map – QuadrantThe current fxmap color system does not fit for adjust height offset. Only height scale can be adjusted. I suggest that the color variable for g

Hi, I previously purchased perpetual licenses from Allegorithmic (not on Steam) before switching to subscription versions. I would like to know if these will always remain available in the old substance website under My Licenses, or will these at some point be moved to my Adobe account, or will they go away? As they are perpetual I just want to check and be sure that I will still be able to download and use them in the future if I want to. (I do understand there will be no support or maintenance for them).

I have linked a PSD and some of it's layers to my sbs. Made some changes in PSD, saved and headed back to my ver 11.1.2 Designer to see them updated, just to find they did not. The program hangs for a second once I activate the window again but nothing actually changes. I then try to manually reload the resources I have changed (including the PSD not just the layer I changed) and I get the following error: [WRN][2462][Default](0): QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified[WRN][2463][PSD IMPORT]No file name specified However when I right click on the PSD and click the "Show in Explorer" Designer leads me right to the file hilighted in the window explorer window.  Does anyone know why my linked resources aren't working appropriately?

Hi community! I have a graph that I've dowloaded from the web. And I want to change some nodes inside of it. The thing is, right now I can see only one node with all the inputs and outputs on it. (I called this one a group. Perhaps it can be a seperate graph). How can I open this graph within the SD (without searching it through folders) to see the whole tree? (never worked with the grouped nodes in SD)
