I use to be able to use the plugin in previous version of Blender. Since upgrading to Blender 4.3 I either get a black material, or can not get the plugin to work. I have unloaded the plugins, and down loaded the latest version available. Has any one who experianced this have any recomendations? Thank you!

Hi,Ive not been using Substance [SBARS] for some time in my work with Unreal Engine so am a little out of touch with the eco system. So, on installing Unreal 5.5 i thought Id start working with some Substance assets [on the product page of fab the plugin is stated as supporting 5.5: https://www.fab.com/listings/292bb370-f146-4d1e-89c2-afbdb26cea6b ] in my work via the Unreal Plugin. Now...Although, I installed the Plugin via my Library for 5.5 i cannot see the plugin listed under Unreals Plugin Manager? Nor can I see any UE, UI feature that enables me to add .sbars, and neither can i drag an sbar into unreal [as its not a recognised format]. Am i missing something? Could someone please explain how i can use sbar materials within unreal 5.5 since I cannot find this information anywhere.many thanksDan Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2Unreal 5.5.1Substance Plugin installed 5.5

Hey, I install the addon and the tools of the substance 3d addon for blender, and when I press the load button on the right panel its just dont work. The only think that happens its a console message:  "Substance 3D in Blender: SRE Initialized sucessfully in [2.162] seconds"

Hello, do you have substance in 3dsmax2021 3.0.4 version

I created some animations uing the glitch_filter.sbsar. and for some reason now is not working and the files I have are not working. Is there a way to fix this and why is this problem happening.Thank you

It'd be great to see support for SideFX Houdini added to the 3D Connector Send-To options in Sampler. Being able to send materials directly to Houdini from Sampler as MaterialX materials would be ideal. https://helpx.adobe.com/substance-3d-sampler/pipeline-and-integrations/substance-connector.html

I have never been able to use Substances inside of 3ds Max with the Redshift renderer and IPR correctly.  Your documentation says it's supported but it does not work and the Redshift developers claim in their forum that they are waiting for Substance developers to make the next move. https://www.redshift3d.com/forums/viewthread/26393/ Please fix this!

Very excited by the new Blender plugin.  Any Chance it will be expanded to work with other render engines in Blender such as Octane for Blender?Xolotl Studio's excellent Substance Painter plugin for Blender can work with Cycles, Eevee, AND Octane!

The Presets are in the correct order when opening the SBS in Designer.When loading the published SBSAR in Blender (3.6 LTS Current Version) using the Substance add-on (2.0.0) the Presets are visible but out of order, in that the presets are associated with the wrong parameters, specifically Base Color.Also, some of the preset parameter values are not being retained when loading in the Substance add-on.Wondering if anyone has seen this or may know of something I'm doing wrong to resolve this issue.

Hello, I am a Playstation game developer and I need Substance C++ files to compile the Unreal Engine 4 plugin for PS4. I tried using the developer status confirmation function, but there is no response. Is there any way to get them?

We are licensed developers and cannot build the UE4 plugin runtime for consoles. We tried e-mailed support and they directed us to this forum. Where can we confirm our developer status to obtain the console libraries?

I have been using the blender add-on integration tools to load the adobe Substance materials in my 3D files. But now I have a new laptop (macbook pro) and when I try to install the same add-on and integration tools it does not work anymore. I get an error trying to install the add-on and all the materials I try to apply are shown as black. Hopefully there is someone that can help me. I already tried unintalling and re-installing the addon multiple times. My hardware and software is up to date:Blender version is up to date: 3.4.0Macbook Pro: Ventura 13.0.1 I get this error: 

 I just installed the plugin from substance 3D to blender. I loaded a material, but then it says "(error)", I can't apply it to any object. The object is UV-unwrapped, but the way it looks is like it doesn't matter what the object looks like, it's an error from loading the material. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Hello, I am using the Substance Plugin with Unreal Engine 5.3. I have a USubstanceGraphInstance* with some input parameters that I customize at runtime before rendering the graph instance. Since I only want to read the pixel data from the generated output textures, I don't need to save the textures to disk. I have two questions:How do I register a callback function, or is there another way to get notified when the async rendering of a graph instance has finished?Once the rendering has finished, how can I access the generated output textures as a UTexture2D*? Thanks!
