Hello, I am using a metal edge wear generator mask inverted to add some edge wear to this turrets paint. However for some reason the edge wear generator is not applying to certain edges of my model. I have highlighted what I mean in the image below, checkmarks are where it is applying, x's are where it isnt but should be? It will even apply to one side of the turret but not the other, despite the fact that it is a completely symmetrical model. I have attached an image of the specific layer set up. I would appreciate any help! Not at all sure what is going on. I have baked my mesh maps, so maybe there's an issue there? But I'm not sure how to fix if that is the case.  Thank you for any help. 

HII'm compairing PBR specular workflow with PBR metallic workflow and specificly the roughness /glossiness.They supposed to be the opposite / negative of each other. But when I use for instance 'Metal Polished' from Asset, the glossiness is a light gray surface without any structure in PBR specular shader setting. In PBR metal shader setting the roughness channel is darker grey but with structure. So not the negative of each other. Can anyone explain please?thanksRené

I was trying to take a render of one of my model but the render looks like is over expose, this only happends while enabling subsurface scattering, someone know why is this happening? This wasn't happening on older substance version. Currently using (Adobe Substance 3D Painter 7.2.1)  

Hi all,Background:I create aviation safety videos and typically purchase helicopter models from Turbosquid, then rework them, mainly redoing textures in Blender with decals. I am still fairly new to Substance Painter, so please bare with me for any stupid questions that might be resolved with common workflows.Goals:Produce highly detailed, accurate aircraft models.Use textures (rivets, panel lines, etc.) to replicate fine details while maintaining accurate placement based on the real aircraft.Begin marketing my models on Turbosquid as more accurate, professional-grade options.Current workflow and challenges:Texture size: I have been using 8K or 4K textures, which generally works well, but rivets lose sharpness in close-up shots.The model I purchase usually have one texture map for external surfaces.  However it starts to create issues when trying to focus on details like rivets and screws. To improve resolution, I have been splitting models into multiple UV maps (for example EXT_T

I need the ability to copy and paste stack nodes through the Python API so I can support changing a shader from using one type of shader definition to another without losing data.  Here are the main issues. 1.  If you switch between different shaders, the layer stack is cleared.2.  If you want to copy over the existing stack data, there is no Python commands for copying and pasting stack nodes.3.  You could theoretically do it using the python Smart Material functionality.  You can create a smart material from a group node, save it as a resource, and then add it as a new node after you have updated shaders.  However to be able to save out the contents of an entire layer stack you'd need to be able to group all nodes on the stack into one group.  I see no functionality to move existing layers into a new group node.

Hello everyone! I have three models: Cape, Torso and Arms, and Pants. When I bake them, the shadow from the Cape affects both 'Torso and Arms' and 'Pants.' I dont want that. I thought removing the Cape from the texture set list in the baking menu and rebaking , but that didnt help. How can I eliminate the Capes shadow?  When i baking textures:Im so sorry for my english!

Scenario - We want to batch re-export a large number of Substance Painter (.spp) files. The files have Output Directory and Output template settings saved into the file (presumably as metadata of some sort) which is shown under the "General Export Settings" in the export UI. However this data doesn't appear to be exposed to plugins or other scripts. If a user goes into "Export Textures" they can easily see the output template "(from cache") and output directory there and re-export manually. I would expect the same to be possible via code. Is there any way to access the values references by these fields so we can lightly modify them and then perform a re-export that is mostly identical to the last export?

When I edit a mask in the dirt folder, my scratch mask from a different folder rotates. What's causing this? Both are painted masks - not procedural or textures.  Also, can I rotate a paint mask as a quick fix?

Hello, Is there a way to make the stylization filter work on objet with multiple uv seams ?thank you

Hi, I've run into a problem with the clone tool.Every time that I set the source for cloning, it will stay in its place, but as soon as I start to paint it, it will follow the carser, and it will not stop following it, even when I stop left clicking. It's the same in normal cloning and with the absolute source option on.It was ok before, and suddenly it's broken. Help will be much appreciated.

Hello, the program is the same, the settings are all the same, on the 1st screenshot the model was textured from 0 and then transferred via smart materials or via cards to the same version of sp with settings 1:1, in addition to the fact that the spots started to look different (this is not the main thing), the ambient occlusion channel with the L8 setting It does not transfer or save any information.As a result, in the same joint venture and other programs, the model is lighter.Is there any way to save (export) the model so that it stores information in dark shades? In the future, when I open a model, I want to see it the same as I saved it, and in the same SP, with the exact same settings and even the same layers, it becomes lighter, but if I manually add AO L8, it will be ideal, but you can't configure these options in marmoset toolbag. so I want to see the final result immediately when exporting.I tried to access the channel profile in the settings themselves, tried to save the ao

Hello! I'm trying to create a pipeline for a student animation that uses USD to drive the pipeline, this is for my honours exegisis. I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a few questions for me, or offer some advice. I've seen that Mari offers a higher degree of customisation for USD export with textures, are there any similar settings for substance? What are the best practices for structuring layers before bringing the USD file into substance painter? Is there a way to set naming conventions? In general I'd just like to gain an insight into how best to stucture the project, and what best practices to inforce in the pipeline. If anyone has any advice, experience, or useful resources to share I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks!

hi! i hand painted the text on the scroll but there are some uneven space between the text so i want to move some of the words but i wasn't able to find a selection tool, does substance painter have a lasso tool or a selection too?

Hello. I am trying to bake a position map for an arc and it give these results. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Its suppose to be a tilable texture so there is so uv overlap.Thank you for the help.

Why do the colors change a little when we convert the image in the Substance Sampler to a material and transfer it to Painter? The colors in the sampler are closer to the original image.

Have a question that I have not been able to find a workflow that works.  When we are designing plastic parts, they typcially have a Mold-Tech texture on them that is very small in details.   We also have a Stratasys J826 3D color printer that can print both colors and textures on printed parts.  Grabcad is supposed to be able to print textures from Bump Maps but that is currently not working so I have been trying to do it with a deformed mesh.   I have been trying to use the "Export Mesh" command in Painter to export the deformed mesh that is on the OBJ files that I imported.   The mesh will create millions of triangles but the mesh is still very coarse.   I'm assuming that the UV's are not dense enough to be able to replicate the very dense texture but I can't figure out how to increase the density of the UV's since the trial part I am doing is simply a flat plate.   

Hello Allegorithmic Team,I hope you’re all doing well!I’d like to propose an enhancement for the user interface of Substance Painter, specifically regarding the Asset Shelf. Currently, accessing the shelves (Project, Starter Assets, Your Assets) requires navigating through a dropdown menu in the top left corner. As many artists frequently use these shelves, the extra click can be cumbersome.I suggest implementing dedicated icons or tabs for these shelves. This change would allow for quicker access to our customized materials, brushes, masks, maps, and smart shaders, significantly improving our workflow.Thank you for considering this suggestion. I appreciate your attention to this matter!

Hello, maybe somebody could help shed some light for me on this issue I've encountered with export exported images from substance painter. Could also be a question for Apple support too.  When I export images from Substance, I can right click on the BaseColor outputed image and click "Get Info" and I can read the following: Dimensions: 4096 x 4096 Color space: RGBAlpha Channel: No But when I go into preview and just re-export them I more information and can read:  Dimensions: 4096 x 4096 Color space: RGBColor profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1Alpha Channel: No The key difference is the "Color profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1".  Is there a way I can have this embedded upon export from substance painter? 

Hello everyone!Hopefully someone can help me out here in regards to color spaces, using the eye dropper, and hex codes...So, here's the situation... Right now, I'm using color space ACES - Raw, color picker and eye dropper are also set to ACES - RawI have this color palette at https://www.color-hex.com/color-palette/1061900Let's say I pick the purple color, which on that palet is 7851A9..if I use the eye dropper to pick the color, it appears brighter on the color picker, and even brighter when looking at it in the texture properties but has the correct hex code.  But, if I typed in the  hex code, it appears darker in the color picker, but appears correct in the texture properties..if I switched to ACES - sRGB, same thing happens, except that if I type in the hex code this time, it appears correctly...  I don't know if this is all buggy, or what...and I know this all sounds strange.I'm curious as to WHAT I'm doing wrong, and what color space I should be usi

hey so i textured different parts of a diorama in substance painter - meaning each part has a different substance painter file, but i wanna know how i can open them up into 1 single file where everythings textured and into place

Hi all, i want to set up a project for my design students (higher ed) where they design a fantasy globe, using Adobe Illustrator for assets to appear on the globe, Substance 3D Painter to place multiple assets on a globe's surface. So far so good. But how can i render out the globes surface as an equirectangular map? I'd need it to convert that into so called globe gores (using NASA's freeware g.projector). I am looking for a detailed tutorial on how to import/link Illustrator assets to Painter 3D and how to export the globe's surface as a equirectangular map. Any help appreciated. And of course i'll share my workflow with you. Thank you in advance.Michael
