Hey ! So I'm having an issue with downloading new materials in substance. I just downloaded the material i want from the community assets and copy it in assets>materials, but when i open substance it doesn't appear... 

I've seen that my cache disk is almost full though (95%). Do you think this causes my problem ? If yes, how can i reduce or delete it ? Is it better to reduce it or delete it ? 

I hope someone can help me !

Hi @justine_wse,

 

What's the exact location of the custom asset? Are you sure the Asset Panel in Substance Painter doesn't have a filter applied?

 

In addition, I advise you to simply use the new Substance 3D Assets window directly inside Painter. The selected material will automatically be added to your library.

 

 

Best regards,

hello,

 

The assets window is at the same place as yours ! I'll try that, I think it'll work that way !

Do you have any advice to lower the disk cache usage though ? mine is at 96%...

If you are referring to this value:

 

It's simply the amount of space left on your disk.
