Questions

Hello there, Most often an SDK will have a mention of developer support or a forum to ask questions but the Substance materials SDK seems to have no mention of that, nor have I found any Adobe forum where such questions can be asked. As such, please excuse me posting this question in the 3D Plugins forum. 1) Is there a dedicated forum for Substance materials SDK support? I believe that may be no. 2) I do have one specific question: what is the preferred or exposed method for serializaing a Substance file's current loaded state (within the Materials SDK) to and from its host application? In other words, what method does Adobe's internal developers use (for its custom plugins) to capture and save the state of the currently loaded .sbsar file (and its modified tweak parameter list) within the host's scene graph and file format (such as within its implementation for 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema-4D, VRED, etc)? The only simple way I can see that being done is by importing and export

[Code_Response.toolkit_file_not_recognized_error]This is the error I find every time I try to install the Substance 3d in Blender 4.0Also checked the latest versions of Substance 3d and in the discussion sections other similar errors but couldn't find a solution please help. I am using a Windows computer.    

See here: https://www.adobe.com/products/substance3d/plugins/substance-in-modo.htmlClick on "Download Substance 3D Plugin for Modo 14"It downloads "Adobe_Substance_3D_for_3ds_Max-2.8.0+2023-75-x64-win.msi"Just hoping an admin sees this and can pass it up the chain so Adobe can fix the link.Jay

Tive um contato rápido com modelagens e animações 3D, não cheguei nem a colocar em prática. Eu gostaria de saber como fazer , as plataformas, softwares que posso utilizar para a formação deste vídeo. É super simpes, é sobre um pivô de irrigação, mas para deixarmos mais fácil, vamos substituí-lo por uma pizza hahaha. eu vou fazer um video com um drone, partindo meio da pizza ate uma posição que a pizza apareça por inteiro no video, lembrando que a pizza vai ter 1 quilometro de diametro e a gravação vai estar em 30 graus de inclinação em comparação ao solo. Após o video da pizza, do centro à borda, vamos estar vendo um circulo, mas com uma visão baixa, não de cima, levando isso em consideração, eu agora preciso da pizza, só que em uma modelagem 3D, mas não como uma pizza, nem como um pivô hahaha, e sim como um circulo branco e liso, lembrem-se que eu disse que era super simples haha, mas esse circulo tem que estar na mesma posição e mesmo ângulo que a pizza, para que seja feita uma trans

Cant seem to make the addon install/work with Blender 4.0. Is that because it is not updated for Blender 4.0 or is it a bug? And will it be updated for Blender 4.0 and when?

 Hey everyone, I'm on a windows PC and installing the Substance plugins for the first time. I'm able to install the plugin, but the integration tools bug out every time I try to install. It won't even install them, it just returns the error above. I couldn't find any other topics that cover this error and would greatly appreciate your help!

Hi, When I use substance materials in my blender scene, it looks all fine. But whenever I change the filename that blender and substance material files are located, then whole materials are going to break and I can not fix it anymore unless manually adding again. Why does it happen? 

I am on a Mac with M1 Ultra and using the latest version of Cinema 4D and Redshift.  I am bringing in the .sbsar files directly into Cinema 4D to quickly make some variations.  My question is by doing this verses making variations in Substance Painter and exporting the multiple materials as Redshift materials does this increase renders time / IPR renderings?  Im guessing by using the materials inside of C4D and rendering there always need to be calculations done.  Just trying to boost performance and come up with optimal workflow. 

hey Is there any problem using resources/material nodes in Unreal inside a .sbsar ?use these nodes after the imported texture is Substance? and use the expose resources created in Substance without problems? thanks

Hi guys, whenever we load substancemaya.mll plugin in Maya, a 'substance' folder will be created automatically in the project folder, is there a way to disable this behaviour? 

hello If I open a file, created in unreal 5.0.3 and with many sbsar, in unreal 5.3.2, do I run the risk of losing this file?Do SBSAR materials continue to be of the same quality?Is it appropriate to make a backup of the Unreal project as a precaution?How should I make a backup of the project to prevent this? Can I simply duplicate the project folder?thanks

hello I noticed that unreal does not accept Ambient Occlusion channels from .sbsar files.Which channels do unreal also not accept from .sbsar?How should we work with clear-coat?and other not so common channels thanks

Hello All,When I select the material, I receive an error message as shown in the attachment and the material is not loaded. I deleted the plugin, cleared all folders and reinstalled it, but the problem  what is wrong?  

SD to UE5's sbsar public parameters may have garbled characters and cannot be in Chinese. Can you fix this? This will be very helpful for those who are not very proficient in English. Thank you very much

Substance is great. I really love using it. And the more I learn and experiment with it, the more I want to use it in ways people have never seen before.But the problem for us has been for a while, Substance can do so much incredible stuff in Unity, Unreal and Cryengine, but all of these engines have fundamental flaws that just make them unappealing. Be it floating point imprecisions, lack of features, monetization models or ease of use for beginners just to name a few. My only regret in choosing Godot is that Substance is not supported, which means that all the features that make Substance Designer so great are off limits. I'd love to just use the native Substance file format and tweak the looks through exposed parameters in the engine instead of going through the endless iterative cycle of "make change - load material into Substance Player - render animation - forgot to change file type/size of output/amount of frames to get the loop - render properly now - load individual image

I want to load a sbsar file and attach the material to any objects using Python API. Like following pseudo codes, import bpy import substance3d path = '<path/to/sbsar_file>' substance3d.obj.load(path) material = bpy.context.materials['name_of_sbsar'] object = bpy.context.selected_objects[0] object.data.materials.append(material) I have used Blender 4.0 and new Substance 3D Plugin for Blender. Does anyone have any good advices?

Hi guys! Hope you are all doing well. I have a question. When is the Substance plug-in come out for Blender 4.0? I´ve seen a drop at the prerelease page but that was Intergration tools 2.0 only. I would love to know, whereabouts is the development of the plug for Blender 4.0. Thank you otherwise for a great suite of tools. I use it daily.

Hi, I'm trying to install the substance blender plugin, but I don't even have the option to enable it to install the integration tools. This is the error I'm getting. I don't really understand what I'm looking at, do I need to reinstall blender or something?

Hello there,I'm attempting to create a simple texture packer using a substance graph, though when duplicating the output, the duplicate is not updated with the current texture output. Is this by design? Is there any way I can make this work?Thank you,Marcus 

We're excited to bring you the latest update for the Substance 3D plugin for Unity - version 3.10. This update is mainly about fixing bugs, with a key focus on a major memory leak issue, making the plugin more stable and efficient. Release Notes for Substance 3D Plugin v3.10:   Added/Updated: Updated the comments section for the RenderInstanceAsync API in the plugin.   Fixed: Addressed a memory leak issue in the C++ code of the plugin, ensuring better memory management. Fixed an issue on Linux where importing the Unity plugin package resulted in a 'SubstanceException: An invalid argument was given to the API' error, now allowing for successful import of SBSAR files. Resolved an issue where SubstanceGraphSO.CurrentStatePreset was not functioning correctly for loading presets with a custom editor window script in Unity; a corrective script is now available on our Substance documentation (HelpX) page: Substance 3D for Unity Scripting. Fixed a bug where graph properties were d
