Question

Stencil not working unless H+V tiling is on, and paints with an offset

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

A little update, I can paint with the stencil in Projection mode, but I'm pretty confident I didn't need to switch to it in the past for the stencil on a Paint layer under a mask to work.

    Hi @Gusztav77 , sure, here is the current setup

     

     


    I have the same driver with an RTX 2060 card. But at least it's good to know it's a driver issue and will be fixed some time for me, too, probably in an upcoming version.
