Thirty days have September, April, June, and November – and that means there’s just enough time left in the month of April to push out this month’s Substance 3D Community Digest. Read on.   Substance 3D News    We've just published our monthly post over on the Adobe blog; you can head over there right now to learn about Substance 3D Connector, the value of Substance 3D in Motion Design workflows, and much more!   This month the Substance 3D team has been racking up the miles. At the start of the month we attended OFFF Barcelona, then NAB Show in Las Vegas. Then, from April 23-26 we attended FMX  2024, the Film and Media Exchange, in Stuttgart where we presented updates on Designer and Painter, as well as reviewing users’ portfolios – a popular feature, and a real pleasure for our team.   Independent 3D Artist Ronan Mahon demonstrates the power of the Substance toolset.    And on April 25 we hosted Substance Days Frankfurt. To users coming from

I would like to create a separate stone texture like the image. I would like to know what to do in this case.

W've got an artists who saved all his work ( a month's work) in a painter version higher that the one used in our pipeline, so his files cannot be opened by other users. AFAIK there's no way to open a 8.2 file in 7.4.2 so I was thinking of automating the creation of smart materials for all his textures sets, and importing them back in 7.4.2. The problem is that I can't seem to find any option/function in the API to create smart materials from texturesets.has anyone any idea on how to tacke this? Thank you!

Hello can someone give me some advise please some of my textures I have imported into blender from substance appear pixalated in cycles but not in evee while others work fine does anybody have any advise on how to fix this thanks Eddie 

Any way to bind ''Context menu'' to keyboard?

Hi Everyone,I'm having an issue with baking my high poly to low poly in substance painter. When I bake my high poly models to my low poly models, I end up with surface cuts (sort of like bouleon operation) where my meshes intersect.Images below. Here is my rough process.1. Made model in zbrush.2. Retopo'd model in zbrush.3. Exported high and low poly models as OBJ files.4. Opened low poly OBJ files in blender and UV unwrapped. Exported as one OBJ file.5. Open low poly OBJ file in substance painter. Everything looks good. No issues when different objects intersect.6. Bake high poly OBJ files (naming conventions correct, _low and _high).7. When I select individual items I can see that the have sort of been bouleaned. Below: Low poly sculpt Below: Low poly sculpt with items hidden. Notice how the object is intact.Below: High poly bake Below: Rough look at bake settings.  Below: High poly bake when items are hidden. Notice how they crop into the object when they ar

Hey everyone. I'm in a class where we're 3D scanning sculptures we've made and taking them into Adobe Substance Painter to texture them before bringing them into AR. My problem is when I try to apply textures to my model, they appear as one solid color with no detail, or a bunch of very tiny dots. I've tried baking textures, adjusting tiling size, and other texture settings, but nothing seems to help. Textures seem to apply just fine to demo models in substance, or other files generated from 3D modeling software. I'm not sure if there is an issue with my model from the 3D scanning process, but I just can't seem to figure out how to get textures to render properly on it. Heres a photo of it trying to render a wood bark texture: Thanks for any help,Eric

Hi, I am bringing a simple cube from blender, i have unwrapped it various times and I always get this issue when I export the textures. any help, please? i know my uvs are not stretched, I perfectly subdivided this cube. How do I get rid of that stretched side bit on the texture, I have never seen this before on a texture. Thanks

Hello. I have a problem. I use substance 3D painter 9.0. Every time I rotate the brush or perform other manipulations with the brush using hot keys, my mouse cursor moves a certain distance to the right. I tried using different mice, the result was the same. I reinstalled, the problem was not solved. On the old allegorithmic substance painter everything works correctly. Tell me what could be the problem?

I want to create a Karesansui texture like the image.I would like to know how to create fine sand and stone textures, and how to create ripples.

getting this error whenever I try to open the project. Other projects are opening fine. Hoping for some help so my work isn't lost 😞

How do we use the substance painter python API to export the 3d viewer view of the asset? I tried this:view_3d = window.findChild(QtWidgets.QWidget, 'Viewer3D') and use  pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap.grabWindow(widget.winId(), rfg.left(), rfg.top(), rfg.width(), rfg.height())pixmap.save(filename, file_format) to grab the screenshot. on my computer it works, but on my friend''s computer, they always export a pure white image.  Anyone know a robust way to do this?

Hello i have imported a fresh model i have make on blender, and on multiple object im able to see half way trough like if the normal was reversed, i tried put the inside ( in my project), that put off the half way trought but the texture look strange, not like the others (with same materials). Please help me, i dont know what to do to fix that

Hello!I've been spinning my wheels and wasting a lot of time, so I think I should reach for help!I've modelled a character in Blender, UV'd it and rigged it. Brought it into Substance Painter to create textures. Then applied those maps to the Blender model in Unreal Engine 5.Result: Texture lines look distorted. After a search, I see that the solution is to use the mesh exported from my Substance project. When I bring that into UE5, the textures look fine but the rig has been lost. Next, I try importing the FBX from Substance back into Blender and re-rigging. But when I take that to Unreal, the textures are distorted again (not sure why, it seems to be the same triangualtion.)I'd be grateful for some tips on a workflow that will (a) produce clean textures in UE5 while keeping my rigging and (b) keep thing as flexible as possible ie. being able to make updates to model/paint/rig without having to redo a lot the other aspects from scratch. Thanks!Btw, all this is happening

Hello!In previous versions of Substance Painter, I was able to bake textures (AO and Curve) using only a normal map instead of a high poly. Can I still do this in 8.3.1? If so, how?Thanks!-William

Hello everyone, I exported an OBJ file from CLO3D which had Udim and different materials that I separated on Blender. However, when I tried to bake the object, I noticed some dark areas. Upon further inspection, I realized that these dark areas were a result of Ambient Occlusion. It's worth mentioning that the dark areas were mostly present in places where there were double layers of "Fabric". Before baking, I set it to self-occlusion: with only the same mesh name. Please see the picture below. If you want the 3D object: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12nBUolrcsQ1umJ3RpDq05XD7IP8S8zv7&usp=drive_fsHas anyone else encountered a similar problem? 

Hello everyone,I've encountered a particularly perplexing issue with Substance Painter in the ACEScg workflow, and I'm hoping someone might have insights or has faced something similar.When I download JPG/PNG images from the web and import them into Substance Painter, there's an apparent color shift from the original image. This discrepancy becomes even more pronounced when I export the textures and bring them into Maya, despite both being set to use the ACEScg color space.Here's a breakdown of my process:Source Images: These are standard JPG/PNG images directly downloaded from the web. They look as expected in any standard image viewer. Substance Painter:The color management is properly set up in Painter.On importing these images, the colors appear different than the original.On exporting, I ensure that color maps (like Diffuse/Albedo) are in ACEScg, while other maps (Roughness, Normal, etc.) are set to Utility - Raw.Maya:The imported textures' color discrepancy is evident here a

Hi,Why is all Height Layers MOVED in Substance Painter, - when I only want to adjust ONE (1) Height Layer in Substance 3D Painter ? Anybody knowing HOW to solve this issue in a simple way, please ? ALL LAYERS in SEPARAT LAYER BUT STILL MOVING ?  ... PS: try to solve this for like 2 weeks now... and still any solutions, Googlat, YT, etc. , but nothing. YouTube Video (0:29 secondo)  below what I meaning : https://youtu.be/O6SZXyUFdPI  /// Ciao /// McRoman

Hi there ,I have a very basic question . How do we import the color palette swatches ? Is there the way to import it from Photoshop ? Or how do we manage to have a colors from our color palettes ? Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi,  I try to bake the high poly to the low one. While the high poly mesh is broken in Painter, but the obj file is fine.Appreciate for anyone helping.

Hi there ,I vae a bug m i dont know what is the reason . When i import my model from Maya to Substance the UV layout is becoming a mess .Happenned first time , what could cause that ?Attaching here screen form Maya UV layout and what is doing in Substance  Thank you , really hoping for a help ^^

Hi everyone, I have sculpted a model in ZBrush and would like to use Substance 3D Painter for unwrapping.I am getting the following error messages: [Scene 3D] Failed to compute tangents; need UV data in channel0[Paint editor] Invalid scene, mesh 'Group41280' has no UV coordinates[Paint editor] Invalid scene, mesh 'Group41280' has no UV coordinates What can I do?Thank you very much for help.

Hi! I've been having an issue with my Substance Painter for a while where materials on my models have been rendering at a low resolution, even with the shader settings and document settings set to 4096px. I was importing FBX files from Rhino -  I read that this might be an issue with the UV alignment and some texel density issues. I tried these solutions but nothing worked. To do a "control" check, I used the MeetMat sample file and the same issue came up.  I'd appreciate any guidance! Andrew 

Hello!  Not sure if this is a bug, or user error.  Bit of a noob, but I've encountered an issue I've never come accross before.  Trying to search for this issue didn't yield anything useful yet.I'm trying to bake my model and everything is working as it should be except for the pants.  The high res is mirrored for some reason and I'm not sure what's causing it.  I got the bake to work once before without issue, but needed to adjust my mesh and UVs.  Bare in mind the UV I made changes to was the hair and not the pants.  The pants are the same but when I tried the bake again I got this.  Any idea what is going on?I've included screens of the UV set in question as well as the bake settings.  I am trying to use Vertex Color ID if that helps at all.

Hi I think it's a simple question,I imported my character to SP while I checked "convert UV tiles into individual textures set" box. I've already baked maps and did textures but now i need to change uv tiles workflow to "preserve UV tiles layout per material and  enable painting across tiles".Is it possible to change UV tile workflow now?If yes, how should i change it.
