Questions

Hi! I have a question. Im working for an AA studio using the latest version of Substance Painter, now by adobe. I have an Nvdia 3070, and 64 GB Ram with an I9. Everything updated. (I can't send/post anything) My task is to "correct" this file made by the previous guy, BUT here comes the issue :He made 10 versions of the same character INSIDE the same file. We are talking about 10 Folders containing at least others 15 folders with all the materials, generators, maps, masks etc. So as you can imagine it take like 18m to open and 6m to do every single action even in 512 res. IMPOSSIBILE. So, the question is. How can i work on this? 1) Is better to take all the materials and reference them? Or it s worse? 2) Maybe use 1 Folder with 1 set of materials and just change the colors/generators/maps without copying more materials in more folders. 3) Another suggested method?    I CAN'T divide the file in 10 other single files (so, 1 fime per

This course shows you how to prepare your 3D model for efficient use in Substance 3D Painter using either Maya, 3Ds Max or Blender.  

Looking for a Substance 3D artist that has experience with characters and photorealism there are several small objects that will also need to be done through substance most of the UVs are applied what is primarily needed is substances painter to complete these mostly done models.   Experience with 3D Studio Max or Maya is a plus, some modeling experience is a plus, Zbrush ++ Project will likely be on going on and off for the next several months may continue further so looking for a person who has availability sporadically after the initial push. Estimate 15 to 20 hours in the first few weeks or so, can't estimate hours after but approx 10 to 15.

hey what are these black jagged spots?i googled alot some say they are normals facing the wrong way but when i look inside blender it all looks fine all of them the same colori even turned backface culling on and it looks the same....they dont appear on the model itself in the 3d viewport..can anyone tell me how to fix it in 2d viewport?need the textures combined into 1 map because im modding an old game so using the 2dxport option and i need it without errors any setting ive overlooked? thanks for your  time  

Here it is:Anyone knows why it is so bad?

Hello all, I'm trying to paint something on a round texture via Projection and symmetry but unfortunately the texture gets warped the closer it gets to the symmetry line (both on top and bottom). I've already tried multiple other settings and techniques but nothing seems to produce the result I'm looking for. Here you can see the effect in question:  Is it even possible to have it no warped but still use Projection and Symmetry?

I just installed the trial version of Painter, but it says that the trial is expired, I havn't used it yet so how can the liscence be expired?

Hello GuysI'm going crazy with this transfer workflow!  I have a valid Substance Student license, but I can transfer that to my AdobeCC account. No option for import license, just buy subscription. Tutorial on Adobe/Allegorithmic websites not match the interface that I use (Adode CC or even website). I used the trial, but now I cant run anything...Anyone could help me on that?

Buen dia. alguien me podria ayudar? el año pasado me descargue una vercion estudiantil en la cual me pedia unas licencias. este año me cambie de pc y tengo que volver a descargarla, y no la estaria encontrando en la pagina de subtance peinter a la vercion estudiantil.

I'm using Painter for many years but that never happened to me before. I'm creating a material, some painted layers, some fill layers with anchors. Additionally I have opacity and emission channels in some of my layers. Material isn't particularly complicated or complex, but first problem is that Painter starts to be laggy and responds very slowly (with 1024px texture, that's not possible to be laggy at all). Second, after saving smartmaterial (I wanted to reuse my material later) it does... nothing. I'm not able to do anything more, the loading bar just under the viewport is stopping on 100% progress and that's all. Newly created smartmaterial doesn't have a thumbnail, and the funniest part is that if any of the other smart materials weren't loaded before creating my new smart material, they won't load (I mean, theirs thumbnails, but nothing can be done at this time, I can't add new materials, do anything, nothing is happening). Two or three times when I was closing the app (or maybe

Hello! When exporting a texture, the image is distorted. I'm sure the problem is in the UV of the model itself, but everything is displayed correctly in the SP viewport, is there a way out without changing the UV itself? 

Hello experts, When I am working on building glass material for low-poly models, the sharp edges are preventing me from rich reflections which is crucial for realistic glass rendering results. Other than fixing the model, can we optimize this in Painter? I am assuming if I can have Painter find the edges and take advantage of displacement? Frankly don't know how to do it... Thanks in advance. Or any other advice about making good glass effects on low-poly models are also appreciated. 

Hi. I am having a problem when rendering a scene into Iray. If you look at the picture when I zoom onto my scene some the objects in the foreground partially appears depending how close they are from the camera. Any idea how to fix that ? Francois

Hi ! I'm new to Substance, and there's something I can't figure out. Sorry if it's obvious but I've not found the answer yet, so I hope someone here can save me 🙂 > I export from Blender a LowPoly mesh and a HighPoly mesh that has a Multiresolution Modifier.> I import the LowPoly to Substance and Bake the maps using the HighPoly mesh.It does something, but the model still looks as blocky as the Lowpoly Version. I'm guessing it's because Substance doesn't add Subdivions, but I see all these tutorials where people have their model super clean in Substance, and I'd like my texture painting to be precise so I'd need that as well.  Is there a way to keep working on the lowpoly model but for Substance to let me work on something looking like the HighPoly model ?Attached to this question is an image of what it looks like in blender (on the left) and in Substance. It's more obvious on the armpits and clavicles. But the nose and eyes also are all over the place

Hi, I'm wondering if you can paint a 360 Panorama in Substance like you used to be able to do in Photoshop? If not, what Adobe product did that feature switch over to? I hope 360 panoramic illustrations are still possible 😛

I have a mesh for which I auto-generated UVs upon import into Substance Painter. This means (please, correct me if I'm wrong--this is my first SP project) that I have to export the mesh in addition to the textures from SP because I cannot use the textures on the original mesh since the UVs are different. Here's my problem: After building the textures in SP and exporting the mesh, I noticed an issue that I had to adjust on the imported mesh. This issue could not be fixed on this triangulated mesh--it's a symmetry-related issue--so I had to revert to the original object. Now, I have fixed the issue but I obviously don't want to build the textures for this object from scratch. My question: How can I import this mesh, to the *same SP project and apply the textures to it? I hope I make sense of this question! Any help is welcome and appreciated!

Hi,Is it possible to rename a texture when I do an export?. I would like to export out variations of the same document, but it is always overwriting the previous export. Would be nice if i could add an _1  or something to a specific export map. So I can get multiple color variantions without overwriting the previous. Thanks.Bart

I am trying to bake the mesh maps from my seat model, but i am left with weird artifacts(see picture).These artifacts are visable in the ambient occlusion, world space normals and the position maps. The mesh is correctly uv-unwrapped btw. Does somebody know what the problem is??  

I have imported decals as PNG and tried to add them by using alt and dragging, a new layer is made but nothing shows up on the model.can anyone please give some insight into why this is not working? 

For only one specific model file I try to paint in substance painter, neither the x or y symmetry show the cursor to paint on the other side which prevents me from painting on the other side but the z and radial symmetry do. I have tried to upload two small gifs showing it. I have tried the x and y symmetry on a different model file and it works fine.

 I use 3ds max for the polygons, but why after painting with substance this comes out translucent like this. It looks solid on Substance 3D 

Hello. I am working on a project that requires me to stamp the attached alpha to my model. However, the alpha is wider than my model, so I was wondering if there is a way to only scale the alpha in just 1 particular axis (X Axis only). Thank you.

I need to have access to my Allegorithmic account prior to Adobe's purchase of the company in order to obtain my license to the Software. My problem is that the email to which it was linked has ceased to exist. I need your support to solve the problem.

I have this model that I made. I exported it from Maya and when I put it into Substance painter I cant use smart materials and color only one part. Like For example I want to color the Rims but The whole model gets colored. I just want to be able to color one part at a time without affecting the others. Here is my curent layout of my UV down below.

I have a house model, When I try to apply a brick material to it bricks are looking very big , So that I scaled down the material to adjust the size. But Quality of the material is lost. I attached the images of before and after scaling. Before scalling quality is good but size is very big, but after scaling down to correct size the resolution of the material is pixelated. Please some one suggest me to do this in correct way. This is not ony about the bricks, other materials are also behaving like this.
