Questions

Hello all,I have  a model with three parts. I use the same texture settings in all three models. The problem that I have is that the pink texture looks different.Regards,Jochen

Can I export a UVMap?

Good afternoon, will you continue to release a personal version on steam for home use? I sometimes use the program for myself, at home, not at work, I can open it for personal use, teach something, train, study updates or paint a model for myself. I do not know if you will continue to release versions on steam. I would really like you to continue to release and support the steam version.

with the recent Painter updates my objects have turned pink, I have updated my drivers, switched shaders but no joy. I have tried all the fixes I could find online. Th eonly fix was to roll back 5 versions before things looked OK.  Any ideas?

Please correct any misunderstandings here, but let's assume you set your document size to 512x512 and import an 8192x8192 texture for an object. You then clone a portion of this texture onto another part of the model and you export at 8192x8192. What you end up with is an 8k texture that looks "correct" (meaning, the proper 8k res) on all parts of the model except the part you cloned, which looks as though you cloned it from a 512x512 verion of your 8k texture; which you did. (because your document size was set to 512). You then go back and change your document texture set size to 4096 in the "Size" parameter in General Settings. The cloned area now looks like it was cloned from a 4k texture, which it was, because of Substance's non-destructive workflow. You then export again at 8k. Now you have 4k data inside of 8k data. (the cloned data was cloned from a 4k source.) Better than 512x512 data inside of 8k data, but the cloned areas are still only 4k.4096x4096 is the maximum resolution

How to make this plastic material? Maybe someone can help me, it looks really amazing. 

Hi,I hope you are well. Is Windows Ink necessary to be on in wacom settings for Substance 3D Painter to have pen pressure sensitivity detected? My issue with Windows Ink is that it makes this annoying little circle then I draw. How do you go about it? Thanks,Artur

HiI hope you are well fellow artists. Does anyone know how to export custom shortcuts to a file or what's the path to the shortcuts file? Kind regards,Artur

I reently signed up for the full Substance 3D Collection but have not had much time to try any of the apps. I assumed that because I was able to download and install that my Mac hareware was adequate. Now, I'm not so sure, from reviewing the FAQs for minimum hardware requirements. Some of the minimum requirement are met; others not or I'm not sure. Can somone please make an educated guess as to the problems and limitations I will likely encounter or if will I need to upgrade to a more recent Mac to use the software at all? I'm considering a MacMini - m1 which I can't really afford, right now and would  that be an adequate choice for future?  Here's what I have - will it work? MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)3.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i716 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MBmacOS Monterey v 12.6.1  Thanks for your help and advice... I'm feeling really STUPID right now, for not checking hardware requirements, FIRST, before jumping in with both

I was told learning about ambient occlusion could help with this, but I was wondering if anyone else had some insight.

Hi I am university student and a starting 3D designer and after using Substance Painter 3D in my workflow for over a year I encountered a problem which seems illogical for me and I am unable to find a solution... I created a 3D model for my scene in Maya. Prepared it for baking texture maps (deleted history, possitioned it at cordinates 0;0;0, UV unwrapped), then I created a high poly version with smoothened edges for more natural look. Exported everything as FBX models and loaded it to Substance. After baking and changing settings of baking in Substance for best results I started inspection to verify if everything looks fine. It was not. For some reason Substance refuses to bake properly a Normal map on some edges of the polygons (look photos). I have never encoutered such problem. After this I tried all my magic tricks to bake these maps correctly. I gave low poly mesh more polygons, I tried to harden or soften edge before export. I remade UV map, made it higher resolution, averaged

Does Painter have something similiar to Designer's global seed? I've created a project which has a number of layers with a randomisable paramaters. I'd like to export the project multiple times, with a different randomisation each time. I've checked the Python/JavaScript API's, and they do not seem to expose the layer themselves, or the parameters, so that this can be automated. If there is not a global seed, what is a suitable process for generating multple variations from a single projct?

I'm new to Substance and now I'm wondering about a fundamental problem. When I apply a smart material to certain objects/meshes/materials, the generated texture is wrongly oriented. In the picture you can see that the stripes on the front are vertical, but I want it to be horizontal. Can anyone tell me how to tackle this problem?

I did a trim-sheet (still in progress) in Painter using masks for different walls, ceilings and floors. I used a lot of polygon segments on that particular trim in the form of a grid so I can easily select sections to mask. Anyways the problem now I'm facing is that when I export the tillable textures onto a planar mesh I get a thin seam as you can see in the middle of this picture. So far I've tried exporting with all kinds of dilation (setting at 256 pixels max) in 8 bit png format or 8 bit + dithering and I still see this line.. Is there another way to get rid of it?

Hello! I am having a problem with substance painter that is driving me crazy and I cannot seem to find a solution. If I create a roughness layer and set the greyscale vale to 0.08 when I export it as a PNG and import it to photoshop the greyscale value is 0.11 which means I get a completly different roughness to the material and not what I have chosen in Substance Painter.  How can I solve this. The color profile for roughness is set to L8 and I export using 16 bit PNG.  Thanks in advance. 

Could someone please help me, about 4 months ago I acquired a substance painter key for1 year, now I don't know where they are

Porfavor alguien me podria ayudar, no encuentro las claves que me otorgaron de substance painter por 1 año de estudiante.

Hi, Im looking for a way to set my texture set settings to always have 6 of the User Channels on by default, to remove a few of the standard ones and preferably have the user channels automatically renamed. Is there a way to do this? I've looked into making a custom shader but I can't see a way of writing this in GLSL. Any help is hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone,I switched from dimension to substance and struggle which substance app to begin with.I use dimension models and apply images on these models. Since Dimension has no future we bought substance suite and want to continue our worksOur goals:1.

Hello All,I've tried calling adobe support and they just ended up passing me around to 4 departments that had no clue what to do, eventually the line auto disconnected. I'm simply trying to run the educational version on Ubuntu/Linux.  It appears that I have to get that from steam (which is fine) but there's no way to apply my current license in steam. Is there a way to activate the older vesion of Substance Painter?  My old key is expired and activating through substance3d.com doesn't work. 

i understand blender is a bit of a reble in terms of easily exporting models on any standart, i have that into account and i have made everything in my mesh as good as it can be to avoid this kind of errors (applying scale and rotation, making good uv unwraps, checking face orientation, etc...); however there are still things that are failing, and i'm no longer sure if the faulty here is the program or my meshes.i just spotted what could be my problem for AT LEAST PART of the smart materials:However i don't know if that is normal or not, and for now all of my meshes just look as if the mask was globaly 0.5, which cause it to look like a perfect mix of both layers (i'm using here dirt ground smart mask, which is the only mask that works in SAMPLE meshes) another problem i have, that bases off of precisely this, is that smart materials do not work at all, it just looks like the top-most layer they have, and for some reason, if i do this with simple surface layers, it completely brea
