Questions

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

Hi Everyone, The plugin for UE 5.3 has now been released on the marketplace, currently available for Windows only. We are actively working on compatibility for Mac, but please note that this process will take some time. We anticipate it will be available by mid-October. Thank you for your patience.

I am using the Unity Plugin in Unity HDRP 2020.3.12f1 and the Substance Plugin Version 2.5.4 .I would like to know if there is a way (within the tool or via scripting). to influence the way the plugin is packing its textures.  For example, even though I pack the height map into the B channel of the Mask. the extra output for the height map on the far right is still beeing created. It would be great to be able to influence this behaviour in some way. Another example for this would be to be able to store information in the alpha channel of the normal map. Things like this. When baking the textures to another folder I end up with extra textures I don´t need or which are not packed the way I need them to be for my project. I also noted an issue regarding reimporting. Whenever I update or reimport an sbsar file using the plugin, material connections on assets get lost or are not rendered correctly (displayed pink even though material is applied). This is especially frustratio

Hello, I'm having an issue where I'm not able to see my animated SBSAR materials inside of Substance for Maya. I can change the values of exposed parameters, however when I animate those values none of those changes are reflected in the batch render. I've been told that it's possible to keyframe your SBSAR parameters in Maya, but so far it doesn't seem to work in the render. Is this a known issue? Are others having any luck animating their SBSAR materials in Maya?  I'm running Maya 2022 with the latest version of Substance for Maya installed.

Can I use Substance 3D for Unreal Engine without a Substance licence?

I have integrated the latest tools from the website in blender but they seem to bug no matter what blender version I use. The error I'm getting: The error I'm getting when trying to update: These are the Tools:

Hi, I am using the Substance 3D blender addon and I downloaded a material I need but I can't import it through addon in blender. The material is .spsm file and is not showing up while loading materials.Is there any way to import .spsm file or maybe convert it to .sbar so I can use that material?

I have a team of 10 people working on texturing scenes in blender 3.0. for a production. All of them report the same issue. The addon is not working for any anyone in blender 3.0. All are using windows 10: Substance painter addon works for the first few items in the scenes. As they continued to texture the scene the textures turn black and can no longer be viewed. If we revert to blender 2.93 no issues. Blender 2.93 is not an option for us. We have to rely on the plugin because the substance to blender workflow does not work for us for rhe large scenes. We are actually using this in production. Is this plugin supported in blender 3.0?  If not when will it be?

I've found the `Substance 3D SDKs` can I use it freely for my game ?

Is there any news on when the addon will be available for UE5.2? Desperately need this 🙂
