We are looking for a way to remote substance painter, However, in case that substance painter might not be opened with "--enable-remote-scripting".Could it be any programable API or any other way to connect to substance with a port?

Hi  Im importing decals from Quixel Bridge - so the usual material files - normal, diffuse, height, roughness and combining these into a fill layer in Substance Painter. They also use an opacity map, so I created a black mask with it's own fill layer and place the opacity in there.  All good, but when I want to move the decal, the material size/pos is not sync-ed to the mask fill layer's size/pos, so I have to manually transfer over values between the two.  Is there a way to sync them, so I can just move my decal easily? Thanks!

 Why does this weird blotch appear when I bake my mesh maps? It does not appear in Blender or when I import then model into Substance. It only shows up when I bake my mesh maps.

Hello Everyone. I'd like to use the "Artistic Heavy Sponge" brush in Photoshop. This is a default brush in SP but I wanna export it to Photoshop but I don't really know how I am supposed to do this. Maybe this brush is already available in Photoshop and I just couldn't find it? Thank you in advance. 

Hi there, I recently started creating custom and advanced brushes for Painter. Currently in the documentation are only a few options listed like stamp-start, cycle, random seed and time. Is it possible to get more?For example the position of the brush on the UV?Would be very nice to be able to sample textures on position of the brush, which then will define the color of the brush.Thanks for your help in advance

I've created a shared library on our network (for multiple users to access) I have a bunch of base materials that show up in several categories (material/textures/alphas/filters). When I right click asset I can see they have multiple tags under "usages". Am I able to edit this so they only shows up only in the correct asset tab? I'm not sure where the usage data/metadata comes from.  Thanks

Greetings Bottom line I want to create a lego logo pattern for a sole of a sneaker. I tried to create grayscale and posteized patterns, but they come in jaggy and lo-res when 'scaled' up in Painter...Any suggestions.ty 

hello, I baked my high poly mesh on to my low poly mesh. There was a few issues with the normal map that I wanted to fix manually but I know i can't directly edit the normal from the mesh projection. So when i make a fill layer and projected the normal from there it looks distorted and weird. So, how can I fix, or is there a reason why it looks different. thank you 

I have a hard time getting a proper curvature map. The white on the curvature map isn't consistent, it doesn't cover all the edges: This is the finsihed model. I had to go in an manually pain worn edges on the metal, because the curvature map just didn't cover all the edges.  I have tried different settings in the bake panel, but none seemed to give me a good result. 

So we pay for the software for years every month and there have not been a single meaningful update for 3 years +.The moment adobe bought substance is the moment I stopped seeing any updates to the substance painter.there are some stuff nobody uses but I'm sayingNEW TOOLSNEW MASKSNEW PROCEDURALSNEW ALPHASnothing.

How do I open the console for substance 3d painter? I have been trying to look for it in all the top tabs. Been trying to follow this tutorial https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/spdoc/environment-variables-172823292.html and it says everything but how to open the console. 

The thumbnail of the mask is displayed differently.What is the difference between this?I want the masked part to appear.(I'm sorry if the sentences are strange because I'm not good at English.)   

Guys, I'm surprised at myself that I am suddenly unable to use stencil. As a thousand times ago, I have a fill layer which I want to reveal only partially, so I add a black mask, a Paint layer under the mask, select a brush and a stencil, and try to paint on it with white color. Nothing is painted unless I select H+V tiling (which I don't want, but it could be a trade-off). However, the painted area is not the one bordered by the stencil, but it's a little bit shifted to some directions. I've tried tri-planar and UV mode for the fill layer, as well as Tangent wrapping and planar (if I remember well the names of the paint layer's modes), with no change in the result. I've recorded a short video. Can you spot what the basic thing am I miss or do wrong? (Substance Painter is up-to-date, and I fight with it on Windows 11.) Thanks,Gus

Hi all 🙂  Even though it seems so straightforward, I have always had a bit of trouble with the templates and exporting textures, so apologies if this has been covered but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.  I'm having trouble exporting with the correct names... if I am using ACES color management, the exporter adds on "Utility" and "Raw" to the texture names.  I duplicated a preset and deleted (_$colorSpace)(.$udim) from the output template, but that didn't work.  I had to switch back to default color management to get the texture names exported the way I wanted them.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?

I made a test material with thick industrial paint, using a basic mask on the height channel. Trying to export the mat's height as a normal. What's the preferred method?  Currently I'm trying to convert the height mask to normal data using the "height to normal" filter, but selecting it closes the menu (see attached). Is it broken or is this user error? If broken, is there another way I can convert the height data to normal? Using Substance Painter 8.3.0

Workflow question. What is the best aproach when texturing large objects like terrains. I am always having the issue where I use a material and I tile it to get the scale correct but then I start seeing the tiling. To combat this I usually copy the layer and mask with a different noise which helps but is a bit laborious. For example I am trying to texture a pyramid like buildng which is 50 meters but I am struggling to get the scale corret.

Only 3d mesh. What happand??? How to brinng it back?? 

I have a Fill layer with the Displacement channel active and Displacement enabled in Shader Settings. Notice in the image that the tiles don't line up at the seam. Is there a way to apply displacement and have UDIMS line up? I tried other projection modes but no luck so far... Thanks! 

Can anyone list the steps for making a Displacement Map in PShop and import it into Substance? So far I made one in PShop at 2K and imported it into Substance via a Fill Layer and set it to Height, but the result was low res and not a true Disp Map when viewed along the edges. Either my PShop image is wrong or I'm using it wrong in Substance

I'm running SP on Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz, 16GB RAM, NVidia M2000, Win10 Pro. I adjusted TDR in my registry editor, and followed all the other suggestions at https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/spdoc/substance-3d-painter-doesn-t-start-on-the-right-gpu-182266570.html. I'm still getting the GPU error message when I launch SP.  This is the log:[Resources List Model] Icons memory budget set to 100MB.[Plugin - resources-updater] No project open, resources updater discarded[GPUIssuesCheck] Your operating system may automatically shut down Substance 3D Painter during long computations because your GPU doesn't support preemption.To avoid crashes, you can try increasing the TDR (timeout detection and recovery) delay(Learn more: https://www.adobe.com/go/painter-gpu-drivers-tdr-crash-long-comp). I don't know where to set Icons memory budget - my local cache budget, in preferences, is set to 3000MB.  Suggestions? Ignore the error

When creating e.g. models for games, it is sometimes the case that some of the mesh objects which comprise the model as a whole need and have a high res version, but some not. Assuming the objects which do have both high res and low res form use the proper _high / _low naming convention, how should the rest be handled? Can this be handled in a single "pass" by citing the _high objects in the High Definition Meshes list, but then also turning ON Use Low Poly Mesh as High Poly Mesh? I'm hoping to convey the multi-mesh object model via .FBX.

Substance Painter 8.3 has a support for reading in USD files.User can specify things like variants, subdivision level and frames from UI. Is there a way to specify these option when creating a project from python API?

Hi everyone,I'm having a bad shading error in Iray render that i cant explain.Is visible only in Iray, in paint mode i do not have any problem.The mesh has benn exported from Blender with the faces smothed and in fact the same mesh in blender does not cause any shading issue.  Aloso if i give one more subdivision level to the mesh and i apply it, the mesh still give this weird shading issue in Iray.As you can see the mesh is rather dense, so i cant figure out which could be the problem.Thanks in advance to everybody.

Hi!I need to make my dirt work on every edge of my Color ID selection. Problem is, my dirt uses the mesh-edges for calculation.Can I make the dirt work along the ColorID edges? Or the Edges of my UV map, instead the mesh edge?In the example, I want to see the dirt along all red outer edges.Thanks,Peter

Tk2  Not sure if my post went thru so here it is again. I'm working on a High poly model that has a low poly version of it.  Is it possible to transfer all that I've to to that low poly model?   Cheers!-Pablo
