Question

.sbsar to blender

Hello

 

What is the fastest way to open .sbsar files in Blender?

 

I am using the Substance Designer and Blender windows side by side and would like to update the material created on the SD in Blender as quickly as possible.

 

How do I do this?

 

For example, is there a way to press a shortcut and the material goes from the SD to the blender viewport applied to the mesh?

 

Thanks

Hello @Abilio5EC9,

 

Thank you for the question.

 

We currently don't have a in house feature like the Send to option we have for our other Substance apps. That being said, there's probably a way to automate it.

 

I could be wrong with this one, but I think Blender is automatically updating resources depending on their path location. Therefore, if you export your Designer's work as bitmaps in the same location, this will natively overwrite the previous bitmaps and it should be automaticaly updated inside Blender.

 

That being said, I'm not sure this will also work with SBSAR files and our Substance 3D Add-on.

 

Keep me posted.

How can I export a .sbsar file of a material: Metallic Roughness Coated or Metallic Roughness Sheen, from SD to Blender using the export addon with all the images already plugged in as is common for the material: Metallic Roughness?

 

Thanks
