Questions

I have been using micro details for certain generators with anchor points for a while now and for the most part I left every option in the mico details tab default as it was working fine as is, but now when I do the same thing I did hundres of times before I get this weird effect where the lines don't match up.I included an image of a very simple scene: I used a hard surface texture and added an anchor point to the layer, after that I added a fill layer with a black mask and finally added the edge wear generator. In the generator's options I turned on the "Micro Normal" and in the "Image Inputs" I set the "Micro Normal" to the anchor point and I got this result. I et the same result if I use the "Micro Height" option. A couple days before this worked just fine with the same settings that I use now. (I use the Steam version if that matters.) Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if it was the last update, some help would be appreciated.

Hi there, When setting up my substance project, the texture set names are being created using the obj material shading group name, as opposed to the material name. I am exporting meshes from Autodesk Maya 2022 as an obj file. In the export options I have Groups, Point Groups, Materials, Smoothing, Normals all set to On. Is there a setting or option somewhere in Substance to change how the texture set name is created or derived?

I have a model that when I bake the texture set underneath is having problems.  I need to have my texture set separate so that I can reference it in Unity.  The model was done in ZBrush.  I have many other models that will have this same issue, so I need to figure out for one model first. Kindly advise.  Here is the view with the overlap: Here is what the map looks like for the texture set.  The repeated sections above are quite odd.  

I’m hoping someone can help me. Arnold for Maya export issues.I have been trying to figure out how to export textures for a simple bottle with a label.I am doing this purely for the purposes of understanding how to setup the texture exports, so the textures are not great.In Photoshop, I know how to get the results easily.

When I draw between islands in Blender, everything is fine at the seams, but in SP, artifacts appear there. I understand that this is because of the Bleed settings that are in Blender but which are not in SP . How to fix it, or are these settings somewhere else?

Edge Wear works for an Edge but not along a line from Polygon Fill. Is there any way to trick it?

I can not open substance 3D. It was fine a few weeks back when I was working with it. I have made sure my GPU drivers are upto, windows is upto date. I swapped to studio drivers as well. I rolled back substance versions and also made sure old substance painter version where not installed.  I have sent a error repot through the software, but I need to use this for work in a few days. Thanks

     Hello, everybody.      I want to ask you for help. Not so long ago I started using Substance Painter, so I don't understand a lot. At first everything went well, I finished two projects, but the last one caused a lot of problems. Starting with crashes, which is not as problematic as the constant appearance of artifacts.        Beginning from the very start of the program, as in the screenshot above, where the textures are in very low resolution, until I change the resolution to any other (although it was originally 4096 by 4096) and ending with artifacts during the work itself.Artifacts appear absolutely randomly, they can change their form from a simple turn of the camera and any manipulations with the interface.I also had problems with texture baking, as in the screenshot above.       Creating a new project does not help, the problems remain, I did the export from Blender according to the Adobe

Hi,I have a PC: i9-13900K+RTX3070Ti+64GB DDR5 and my Substance Painter is same slow and laggy than in my 8 years old PC: i7-4790K+970GTX+32GB DDR3. I have version 9 (2585), I think the baking is faster, but the average performance, changing layers, viewport usage, many seconds long lags, etc is exactly the same than in my old pc. So I do not feel too much difference. Is this normal? 

Hi guys! Is there a way turn off a fill layer or a group upon export instead of manually turning off the layers? Like is there a command that can be put in an export preset?  Regards,Andrew

Is there any way to map an HDRI as a Specular / Reflection texture?

Can we have a option to ignore meshes that do not have a matching mesh name when baking mirrored geometry?When baking a character with mirrored geo using the same uvs and material (eg. boots or gloves) we dont always have a left and right side in the high poly.  What we do is just export one side and bake that side and the other side should use the same bake as they share the same uvs.  For example I have a glove_l_low and a glove_l_high  in my full character fbx export but I also have a glove_r with no matching high as I only want to bake the one side.  I then use match my mesh name to isolate each part. I would think that anything that doesnt have a mesh name match would not get baked, however what seems to happen is the right side is still trying to bake but because there is no matching high poly it ray casts into forever but conflicts this bake with the other side with the matching high poly causing baking issues.One way around this is to export a baki

Part of the texture did not bake, I baked hp on lp in substance, the UVs are not overlapping and the mesh is symmetrical so I have no idea why it baked only on one side. I symmetrized the geo on lp and hp but the problem only occurs on one side.  Thank you for your help 🙂     

I have applied for the free 3D Substance Painter license, but have not received an email with the link to confirm eligibility. Is there a way to have it followed up manually & sent to me?

Hi, The way we are currently working at our studio is we do a lot of our surfacing/lookdev with our assets in their dressed postion, ie. not at world 0. We then want to publish these assets at world 0, with the likelyhood of adding further surfacing updates later on, now with the asset at world 0. Frustratingly as far as I understand Substance stortes all of it's paint strokes in 3d space, unless we paint in the uv viewport then its stored in uv space.  Is there a work around for this as preserve brush strokes tries to reproject back in 3d space, is there the possibility in the future to be able to convert 3d brush strokes into a UV space at any point?  Thanks, Olly 

Hi, Welcome to Adobe Sales. My name is Pragya. How can I help you today?Hello!

Hello, I've recently been working on texturing my model, however I noticed that my textures are low quality. Is there anyway to fix this? The resolution is 2048x2048, the preset is Unreal Engine 4 and the texel density is around 85%. Below are the pictures of the texture. The reason that I want these textures to look better, but don't mind the wheels and parts around that is the reason that the "platform" and the cabin will be accessable which will mean that players will be able to look closely at the textures 

Hi, Sorry if this is an easy question, but how do I listen for 'BakingProcessEnded' from Event.Py in my own python script? From the documentation I havent been able to deduce what I actually need to add to get a function to run when that even is triggered. Could someone break this down for me please? Thanks! Graeme

Textures in the project look corrupted when I open a project with UDIMs this looks like incorrect projection of UVsIf I change resolution to any other, then textures regenerate and everything looks fine, till i start woking. Then, when using a fill layer from time to time textures get corrupted again. Example: normal map not rendering, roughness looks wrong i.e. incorrect, normal map in wrong places of the mesh.Recalculating textures by changing resolution fixes it for a while, but then everything breaks again.Painter Ver. 9.0What I did to fix it: reinstall painer, rallback AMD graphic driver, disable sparce virtual texture hardware acceleration. Check on a different project that worked fine before (same issue, except with one UV tile the project is loading ok, but then during adding fill layer graphical glithes occur).Have no clue what is wrong and where the error is.Any help?---AMD Driver ver 23.5.2Radeon RX 6600M

I want to create a height modifier  that gets current  layer height as input   and takes extra  pixel  input from an anchored  height  somewhere  beneath  and blends it in .    What should it be ?A filter?   A generator?  Just general sbsar ?    Can any of those have  two inputs ?

(No white screen response)   (7.2.1-1120 x64)  (7.1.1-954 x64) Of course, when I first installed the program, it ran well. I updated the graphics driver. ( 466.27 > 471.11 ) After updating the graphics driver, the substance paint was executed and a warning pop-up appeared.  I heard that the minimum supported graphics card has been changed to gtx1060. Then the problem began. The screen turns white and the program outputs no response.  This pops up when you press the button to exit the program when there is no response. I updated the graphics driver and thought there was an error, so I returned the graphics driver to the lower version again.  ( 471.11 > 466.27 ) There i

For example I want to sample  all  the height beneath  of  a curent layer , blur it  and add the current height  then apply  compare mask   that wouldn't see that blur on "below" .    How can I do it? By anckor maybe?  But looks like it sends higher only content of current layer and not combined image of whats bellow.  Like this?   Can I do my own compare  filter   and how can I sample "bellow"?    

I've created a project and wored on it for a bit. When I reopened it. All the UV seams became visible They even show up in UV view The only way I could fix it is to change padding to UV space neigbour.So my question is: am I doing something worng or is it a bug? Never had this problem before, while working with no UDIM workflow.
