open meshes

Hello

Does Substance Designer work correctly with open meshes?

Are there specific procedures for using open meshes?

Thank you

I'm talking about making bakes of: AO, thickness, curvature
They'll smear in the openings, right?

Is there a setting to prevent these bakes from smearing?

Thanks

Holes in geometry are not doing anything. It will behave the same as gaps bwetween UV shells.

Unless you have holes in your highpoly where lowpoly doesn't. Then you will get projection errors.

You can disable bleeding/padding during bake, but it's a bad idea.

What do you mean by open meshes - models with gaps / not watertight?

If so, then Designer should be just fine.

open meshes

for example: a cube without a face

Doesn't require any special treatment.
