Loading custom substance textures into Dimension via Creative Cloud - Is this possible?

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to load a custom Substance texture into "My Library" via Creative Cloud so I can use it in

Dimension.

 

It says that SBSAR files are supported but I just get an icon - see below:

Supported files

 

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/help/supported-formats-creative-cloud-libraries.html

 

I've only got them to work through purchasing via Adobe Stock or using the Capture Software on my phone that does sync to My Library (showing up fine in my screen grab)

 

Is this a bug or is Dimension only half supporting Substance textures?

 

It won't work if I import it locally and place on a custom model either.

 

Any alternatives?

 

Kind Regards

Giles

No it's not just you... Adobe Dimension is a different Dev team to Adobe Creative cloud and they don't talk to each other or test their stuff actually works before telling people BS

 

Substance texture files are not supported by creative library and neither are Dimension Dn files for that matter regardless of what the help files say

Thanks everyone, 

 

That's a real shame. This software has so much potential yet falls short on

critical things like this.

 

I get it, they want people to buy assets but surely they can allow some customised textures

rather than just ones shot on your phone or free ones?  

 

That said, the rendering is actually pretty nice.

Please review https://community.adobe.com/t5/dimension/how-to-add-new-material-presets-in-adobe-dimension-library/td-p/10782412.

 

From my side I use following workaround. 

  1. Create new sphere (or any other 3d model) 
  2. Import new substanse material on that object
  3. Add that object into Library 
  4. Create any new object
  5. Use Sample tool to copy material on your new object

 

In htis way you can keep your substanc material in Libraries. Otherwise keep it localy.
