Questions

Hi Well done on the 7.3 release, nice to see the Warp tool.   As a sugestion I would like to soo a project through painting working with the Warp tool, this would be more intuitive that having to paint on mask layers.  The more closer it gets to Mari the better but a nice step in the right direction.  Laying down patches of skin is still easier in Photoshop at the moment as to Painter. Dan

Hi,I'm trying to assign a ressource map as a material ID map on a textureSet.AFAIK, we can read this info via "structure" call and it return something like this:"additionalMaps": [ { "urlToBitmapRes": "resource://project1/matID1001?version=69243b1c31ded77dfd7e7181c89428a9083a188f.image", "usage": "DataAdditionalMapUsage_ID" } ],I would like to do the opposite.Thanks!

I have noted in the Adobe version I am seeing a lot of issues in relation to:Thumbnail generation (despite puting in a 2K plus cache) from a SSD.Something simple can trigger an issue too like copying a smart material from one mesh to another.Then when you save and nothing happens and try again you get two saves - examplehttps://gyazo.com/e52d5fd04300e7db4b7d4f1f00725f7aAt this stage it's a full freeze and the only way out is a force quit.Any ideas on what is causing the poor performance on a Mac?Finally it won't even generate a log so I can put in a bug report.  But something is really off with this version. 

Hi all, I have swapped Macs and in my current version of Substance Painter (as installed) it's not exporting the 2D "texture" using Texture Export correctly.It is something to do with the installation/set up perhaps on my 2d export - as I have validated the issue exists with historical projects I re-opened to check as well as the current (new) project I am working on.Any tips/hints as to what is up - what I may have missed?  I have been exporting 2D images for a long time and this is the first time I have seen this particular issue.  It's like it's ignoring the maps except for the color etc when 2d export occurs.1.

HiI want to know why the default blending mode of the Height channel of a new layer is Lighten(Max) or for the normal map is NMdt(Normal map detail) and is there any way to change these defaults to normal blending mode?

Could someone tell me why Substance instantly crashes when I try to load this model? I use both uvmap automated and not ... https://ufile.io/0lkdq0o4 same result always crashes.

Im a beginner and have followed the Substance 'Getting Started' tutorial (Spiderbot) and decided to apply what i learned to a simple model i made in Blender. I'm getting grey artefacts when u try to apply a fill layer to my model. (see image). I did a Smart UV Unwrap in Blender, set vertex colours and checked for overlaps before exporting to Substance. I have no idea why i am getting these grey artefacts, can someone offer some advice as to why this is happening and where am i going wrong?

Hiis there any way to do somthing that mask output in Substance Designer only masks the base color channel and does not apply to other channelsI want to use this technique to expose a parameter for sbsar material that removes parts of the material colorThank you

The Substance Painter docs state thatSubstance 3D Painter will automatically create a new Texture Set each time it finds a material ID on an imported meshbut it does not find any materials when imporing Alembic caches. Right now, I'll only get a single "DefaultMaterial" texture set.How should I prepare Alembic geometry when exporting from Houdini, Maya, Blender, ... to make it work?Thanks! Michael

hello everyone,I am using Substance for a while now and never have encountered this issue until now, maybe you can help me to understand what am I doing wrong.The issue is after importing the model from Blender and baking the meshmaps, the UV seamline will be visible on the 3D model, when adding some bump effect, the line is even more visibile (obviously). I made sure there is no UV overlapping, the normals in blender look outside and the UV map has some spacing between elements: I find also strange that hese two components don't share the same issue even being the same geometry and close on the UV map (above pic):here on the rocket launcherAny suggestion?Thank you

I made a mesh using Blender, exported to substance painter, baked and try to make the texture, the problem is that no matter what i do, i can't make a texture for the inside area. 

I am coming to the end of my annual Substance Painter license in November, and before I renew, I need to understand whether I can continue to use the version I have currently installed (2021.1.1 (7.1.1.) build 954) which runs fine on my Windows 7.1 OS.   I am aware of the fact that all of the new Substance 3D applications list Windows 10 as the minimum requiremnts, so I haven't been able to download any of these newer versions; however I can get my work done just fine with the version I am using.   I note that the license page says that activation of the new Substance 3D software can be done by placing a new license key in the appropriate directory.  So I am hopeful that I can renew my subscription in November and simply  place the new license key in the appropriate directory and continue to work with my old version of Substance Painter and Designer that work on Windows 7.1.   Can someone from Adobe please clarify whether this will work?&nbs

Substance 3D Painter was working fine for me, then it just started crashing when I opened random projects most of the time. I did a full uninstall reinstall, PC restart afterwards and now whenever I move my mouse around the entire application just flickers black, I havent seen anything about the black flickering online. Hoping someone here has experienced it or fixed it so I can get to the root of this problem.

Hello All, I am having treouble incorporating my Painter files with Blender to create the same glass Shader.I have tried to apply the textures in Blender to this Lamp I am making, but I am getting a dark tint to my textures when I enter Viewport Shading. Could anyone help shed some light on this, please? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xikDYngq6akmI5C79XYuEi0ZlVvxAdC_/view?usp=sharing 

Hello all. I have a problem with my Substance Painter. I'll put the images below but my preview render looks awful even though I did it exactly the same.  I opened a high resolution project by choosing PBR - Specular Glossiness. I can't paint my model, whose UV is fine, in Substance Painter. I increased the Shader Quality (Ultra 256 spp) and changed the Environment Map, but I did not get the same result with the Tutorial. What is the problem?   

have a problem, im windows user and have substance material 7.2 .3 trial versioni cant find metallic roughness algorithms templates, can you help??    

I subscribe individual substances in the adobe.com. I make a model in a blender and then import material from the substance source into the substance painter and edit material, then I sell the model with texture in cgtrader or others.Is it allowed?

Hello,I have some models which have corners where 1 side should be Material A and the other side should be Material B (think of a shoe, bottom is sole/rubber, sides are leather). If I use vertex painting and color them, then those vertices are shared, and they can't be both colors, so that doesn't seem like a good approach. The model comes with a texture which looks like it's a color-map (from Unreal):This is basically the outcome of baking a (pixel-perfect) IDmap, I guess... So my thought was to import that one as texture into substance painter, and select it for a "Mask with Color Selection" and pick a color, but it doesn't behave like expected :Splitting the channels in in substance designer to take a look at what they contain, my guess is the alpha-channel is making it misbehave? Any way to make it work (preferably without changing the texture)? 

I have a fbx imported with 10 parts, each part had a MODO material assigned to it, so that means there are 10 UV maps that Substance Painter "Baked". My question is this: I finished exporting for my USDZ, and now I want to make another USDZ which has all but "2" of the parts from the first export. Even if I turn off those "Texture List Sets" the prebakes AO still shows up on the surrounding parts... is there a way to remove the "bakes" maps of the two part I don't need for the second export?

Hello all,   Have decided to try and import a model into 3 DS Max to render in that software [ Arnold ]  Attached here are 2 screenshots of the model. Created in Solid Edge Mcad software, textured in Painter and now I want to try out the render engine within Max.   Could anyone give any pointers on how to export the textured model into Max. Screenshot 1 is the model within Painter and 2 is the model [ inside Max before export into Painter ] Regards,

Hi, I created ID maps in C4D for Substance Painter. Once I baked ID map in Substance Painter, the result went something wrong. Does anyone know what the problem is? Attaching the working file below. Thanks,    Link: https://we.tl/t-DUpzW2dWPz  

Hey,I moddeld a sword and started wanted to texture it. When i bake my ID map it, it got wierd and i couln´t fix it. These color artifacts appear when i  try to bake it!What can i do? I would be grateful if someone could help me.

In this example I created a simple box. 1. Add a fill layer2. Add black mask3. Add paint under the mask4. Use Arrow Bent for the Alpha and the Greyscale5. Paint it. It appears on the box.6. Save it as a Dummy.spp.7. Load a different project.8. Close out the project.9. Load the Dummy.spp.10. Both the alpha and the greyscale no longer have anything in them (see below). This is repeatable and is very frustrating. Second issue is random. I don't know if it requires a complex model or not, but sometimes I am unable to put ANYTHING in either the Greyscale or Alpha (or Alpha will take an image but the greyscale will not).These two issues are very frustrating.

So i've tested this with multiple versions, and 2019 v2.2 is the only version that worked and what i mean by that is when i bake in 2019 the interrior on models bakes perfect but on 2021 the interriors are dark and dosent bake right
