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

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?

 Hi all,I am using Unreal Engine 5.5 on Windows and am trying to package a project for Linux with the Substance 3D plugin enabled and textures imported into Unreal.

After updating (-> removing the previous version) Substance and updating Maya 2022 to the newest version (which is a full install) the Substance plug-in and menu item is nowhere to be found, the Substance shelf is empty. Forums only say that it should be installed with Maya 2022. I have manually removed and reinstalled Maya 2022.1 and the Substance plugin is not installed, not can I find it in the Maya install folders. Apparently, there is no separate install for 2022 on the website (only for 2020 and previous versions). Is there a solution for this out there?

My question is in regards to the Substance to Unity plugin and the automatic naming conventions of exported SBSAR files. When I export a substance package (SBSAR) with multiple contained graphs such as Dirt, Grass, Sand and then bring the SBSAR files into Unity with the Substance plugin the individual graphs share the name of the main package itself and will always have the suffix of _graph_0, graph_1, graph_2 and so on. I am curious if there is a way to have the substance graphs themselves utilize the original names contained in the substance package such as Dungeon_Sand, Dungeon_Dirt, Dungeon_Grass instead of the non descriptive graph_0_1_2 names. If I manually rename them inside of Unity will conflicts be created with the substance graph objects or the substance file objects which are created when utilizing the Substance to Unity Plugin? My final question is should I simply have each of my substance graphs separated into their own packages instead of having multiple in the same pack

Hi Just got substance painter, and installed the Blender addon and got it working with the integration tools. (Both latest version) Tried exporting materials as sbsar and loading them via the blender addon, which just produces a black material. Downloaded some community SBSAR-files as well Like thishttps://substance3d.adobe.com/community-assets/assets/8421dd61a662f5eb92182a587b60eda3c2879544  Also just produces a black texture which is also black if I apply it to the material. An Error flashes by (Added in the screengrab) But it is not very helpful. Anyone know where I could start to look for issues to get this resolved? This is on a laptop running a Geforce 2060 RTX Best regardsJohann

Hi, I recently downloaded the Substance 3D add-on for Blender in Substance 3D add-on for Blender - Adobe Substance 3D along with the integration tool (version 2.1.1). After installing the add-on in Blender 4.3.0, the installation process went smoothly. I set up the integration tool via the add-on's preferences and configured my settings.Next, I opened the Shader Editor, accessed the "N" panel, and pressed the "Load" button provided by the add-on. At the bottom of Blender, I received the message:"Substance 3D in Blender: SRE Initialized successfully in [2.171] seconds."However, no file browser appeared for me to select an SBSAR file.I then tried using the add-on in Blender versions 4.2.3, 4.0.2, and 3.6.0, but the same issue occurred in all of them.Could you help me understand what might be causing this issue?
