Hi all!I've been working on supporting substance materials on our renderer using the amazing sbsar plugin provided here.Substance materials look great, but the emissive textures don't look right. Here is how it looks:But the emissive texture .png generated from the .sbsar file looks like this: I filed an issue here from the repository where I got the sbsar plugin to support substance materials on our renderer, but I thought to repost here in case someone could help: Emissive texture not working · Issue #72 · adobe/USD-Fileformat-plugins Please let me know of any ideas! Thank you!

UE 5.7 has been out since November 2025, still waiting for a Substance plug-in for it.  Does anyone know if it’s being worked on?

Der aktuelle DNG Converter erkennt keine NEFs (egal ob alte oder neue Kamera) und deshalb kann ich sie nicht in eine aktuelle nef format konvertieren, was mach ich falsch?

Is it possible to get the SDK build against VS2022 and VS2026 runtime? SDK available for download are build with VS2015, at least the DLLs dependencies are pointing at it (see picture attached). We are looking at upgrading out tech to use VS2026 but we still need VS2022 for teams that can’t update to latest. The SDK version 9.0.3 we using now was build with VS2019.

Hi all! I have a problem with using the sbsar plugin. I wrote a detailed report here but I’ll summarize it here. I got the sbsar plugin to build, install and load in our renderer but all the substance archive materials appear like this on the object. I’ve used Cardboard.sbsar, DoubleCardboard.sbsar and natural_lambskin_leather.sbsar and they all look like this.Since the Substance engine will generate the textures on demand, I’m guessing there’s a problem with the way I set it up. I couldn’t find documentation on how to do so, so far what I’ve done is extract the tar substance-ubuntu22-v9.3.1-fb5c0b3b.tar.bz2 then add the -DSUBSTANCE_FRAMEWORK_ENGINE_VARIANT=ss2_blend to the cmake command that builds the sbsar plugin. The rest I just followed instructions for Linux from the repo. I know the sbsar plugin loaded because when I don’t load it by not setting the environment variables, the material is not found, and the default surface is applied to the objects. Here I can see there is some t

I'm trying to load a Substance .sbsar file into Blender 4.2.1 LTS using the 'Adoby Substance 3D add-on for Blender' 2.3.0 using the Python bpy library. file_path = "/Users/xxx/sbsar/lemon_skin.sbsar" bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(segments=128, ring_count=64) ob = bpy.data.objects["Sphere"] ob.select_set(True) bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = ob file_abs = str(Path(file_path).absolute()) file_name = str(Path(file_path).name) file_parent = str(Path(file_path).parent.absolute()) + "/" bpy.ops.substance.load_sbsar(filepath=file_abs, files=[{"name":file_name},{"name":file_name}], directory=file_parent) however I get the error:Substance 3D in Blender: Substance file [lemon_skin.sbsar] located at [/Users/xxx/sbsar/lemon_skin.sbsar] could not be loaded Strangley if I open the 'Substance 3D' panel, click the 'Load' button, then 'Cancel' the file dialog (without selecting anything) the load_sbsar command works! Please can you help.Kind regards,Paul

hiUsing Blender 4.5.3 on a Win11 machine. I installed it according to the manual. The toolkit isn't working and it doesn't show up. Please refer to the attached image. Hopefully there is someone that can help me. I already tried unintalling and re-installing the addon multiple times.

Same issue. What's causing it?How to fix it?How to avoid it? Thanks for any ideas, thoughts and fixes!

Hi,We have render nodes on our farm that do not have GPUs.  This results in us not being able to render anything with substance on our farm.  I have set CPU mode manually and confirmed the setting stuck after re-launching max, but when deadline launches a job it somehow resets this mode.  I am able to get it to work if I currently have a max instance open with CPU mode on, but as soon as I close max and launch deadline it resets to GPU. If there is a way around this I would love to hear it.  My initial thought on how to get around this is to setup a startup script in max that changes substance to CPU mode, but I am unable to find the maxscript command for this and the maxscript listener doesn't show one when swapping. Does anyone know a way to force CPU mode on launch?Thank you

Hello, are there any download archives for the substance for 3ds max 18 plugin. I recently had to reinstall max, and a few years ago the 2018 plugin was still offered but i have lost the setup file.I am unfortunately stuck on 3ds max 2018 as it is the last version with an exporter plugin for the game engine i am modding, so upgrading to a newer version is not possible.Is it possible someone still has the installer and could upload it if not officially available?
