Correct answer davescm

do you mean will it let me go trhough my files? If so yes and ill go pick the tool but after i confirm the install nothing happens other than that no nothing else happens


Ok

Can you try this :

1. Remove the add on and close Blender

 

2. Press the Windows key +R and type appdata into the search bar

3. Navigate to Roaming > Adobe and if you see a folder called Substance3DIntegrationTools  delete it.

 

Restart your PC, open Blender and try the installation steps in my previous post again

Hi

I've moved your post to the specific forum for Substance Plug ins.

I've been using the Blender plug in for some time but just uninstalled it to try the latest version with Blender 3.2.2. It installed without issues.

Taking this step by step

 

1. Can you confirm the exact version of Blender and your operating system (I used v3.2.2 on Windows 10)

2. Can you confirm the exact zip files you downloaded
Blender add on is Substance3DInBlender-0.9.1.zip
Integration tools is Substance3DIntegrationTools-1.4.3-Windows.zip

 

Assuming your versions are the same as above can you go through these steps and say at which point it fails

1. In Blender select Edit and then Preference

2. In the Preferences window, select Add-ons and click the “Install” button

3. Navigate to the Substance3DInBlender zip file (don't unzip it)

4. Select the Substance3DInBlender zip file and click the “Install Add-on” button

5. In the Add-ons section, select the checkbox to enable the Add-on


That should have the basic add on in place so now you need to install the integration tools

6. Still in the add on Window under Preferences for the 3D add on click on Install Tools

7. Navigate to the Substance3DIntegrationTools  zip and click OK

 

That should have installed both tools and you will see a list of default options.

 

To check the installation Select Blender's 'Shading' workspace and in the node editor window press 'N' and you should see the Substance 3D tab at the right edge of the Window.

So, if I read your reply correctly

Your versions of Blender, Windows, and the two Substance zip files are the same as mine.

You get through steps 1 - 5 OK. But when you carry out step 6 you don't see a dialogue that allows you to navigate to the Substance Integration zip file?

Or can you get to the zip file but after clicking on it you don't see the dialogue below:
