Under plugins in photoshop, I have substance 3d materials, how did it get here, and how do I remove?

Hi, hope someone could help me here.A while ago, when the Substance add-on for Blender was released, I signed up for this prerelease and installed it.After not using it for a while and using newer versions of Blender without copying add-ons from previous versions, to keep it clean, I try to download the new release of this add-on, and thats where I'm stuck…When I try to download again, I log in, go to the programs and select "Join", then I get a message saying "An Adobe ID with this Email is already part of the program."However, when I go to "My Programs", on the Adobe prerelease site, there are "no programs available".Any idea how to fix this so I can download the add-on again?

HiI download this Natural Oak Wood in substance 3d asset. there're Preset however I could not fild the field of Preset in UE5. Need advice ThankTravis 

Hi, I ask the question here:https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-painter-discussions/special-unreal-engine-substance-plugin-s/td-p/13111933There I was told this part of the forum exist, so I am moving the question here.I was told that the substance plugin should work on other platforms but that does not seem to be the truth, as I get this error: 'Engine/Plugins/Marketplace/Substance/Source/SubstanceCore/Private/SubstanceCoreHelpers.cpp(62,10):fatal error: 'SubstanceCorePS4Utils.h' file not found' as long as I do not remove the default PS4 whitelist inside the uplugin file of the substance plugin.PS5 for example is not whitelisted by default, if I would add it I get 'ERROR: Unable to instantiate module 'SubstanceEngine': Substance Plugin does not support platform PS5'.If I let PS5 as not whitelisted as by default, the error does not appear, but the packaging will crash while compiling shaders.Sadly Epic is not able to just include information why the cooking crashed or what

I am using substance plugin in UE5 and I want to get the maximum and minimum of an input in substance graph instance. Is there any solution using blueprint, or C++?

Hello I have installed the Substance suite and I work mainly in Modo but the plugin for mOdo doesnàt work at all.It is still listed as Modo 14...but I tried to install it there too but it doesnàt work too. Im I missing something? 

The previously exposed Substance Generation Methods in both project and per-substance factory are no longer exposed in UE 4 or UE 5.  How do we get control of the runtime Substance generation methods for the game?New:Previous versions: Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, We have taken our Substance 3D plugin for UE 5 out of beta and have officially released it on the marketplace. Please find attached an example of how the plugin could be used. In this example, Wes (Adobe artist) is using Substance Modeler for modeling and the Substance 3D plugin in Unreal Engine 5 for texturing. Looking forward to seeing all the amazing things you'll build using the plugin!Download the plugin here: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/2f6439c2f9584f49809d9b13b16c2ba4?sessionInvalidated=true Documentation: https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/integrations/unreal-engine-5-225970446.html High-Level Overview: https://substance3d.adobe.com/plugins/substance-in-unreal-engine/

The Red and blue channels randomly switch when using the image input in the ue4 plugin. Can reliably recreate this with the image input but also sometimes occurs when using a multi switch for baked images & no image input. This happens even with the image input hooked directly to the base colour output node as well.  Set up used for the below images: We were able to test this by simply switching to the image input & back again causing it to go blue.If I create a "MakeFloat4" node & swap the red/blue channels it outputs the intended base colour. This isn't a solution as when making other unrelated changes (e.g. texture resolution) & the texture updates everything & outputs the correct channels as intended originally so that change in the material would then make the texture go blue when working correctly. Any help greatly appreciated 

Hey, i have been experiencing a weird problem out here that no one ever mentioned in anywhere that i could find. Anyone knows that how i can solve this issue?

Hi together, I´ve recently tried out the Substance Plugin for Blender, and so far, I like it! But I realized that when I texture my asset in Blender, then export an FBX with UVs and such to UE4, the Substance textures does not apply in UE4! I tried exactly the same with just an Albedo-Map from the same Sbsar-file via the Substance Player, took that map in Blender, textured the asset, exported the FBX, and voila, the FBX shows up textured in UE4! So my guess is that if I use the sbsar-files with the Plugin in Blender, sometimes doesn´t "convert" right the textures when I export the asset to UE4, but I don´t know how to solve it! Any ideas? Peter

I cannot use substance plugin in 3dsmax 2022 because everytime I try to convert a substance into a specific renderer's material, a lot of error messages appear (see the attached image).I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Vray, using the plugin only with Arnold and applying the suggested pre and post render scripts (I don't know what that means, though).The message "The Substance plug-in has detected an Incompatible renderer" keeps showing when I press the open dialog button and the materials in the viewport are displaying black, when I close all the error-related popups.  

Made a build to test the performance (Unity 2021.2.x, Mac OSX) and in the build I get the following error: SubstanceEngineNotFoundException: Substance engine not foundat Adobe.Substance.NativeMethods+NativeMethodsImpl.sbsario_sbsar_load_from_memory (System.IntPtr data, System.IntPtr size) [0x00025] in <28eec1c1cee94ed38253b35ccf47d203>:0at Adobe.Substance.NativeMethods.sbsario_sbsar_load_from_memory (System.IntPtr data, System.IntPtr size) [0x00010] in <28eec1c1cee94ed38253b35ccf47d203>:0at Adobe.Substance.SubstanceNativeHandler..ctor (System.Byte[] fileContent) [0x0002b] in <28eec1c1cee94ed38253b35ccf47d203>:0at Adobe.Substance.Engine.OpenFile (System.Byte[] data) [0x00000] in <28eec1c1cee94ed38253b35ccf47d203>:0at Adobe.Substance.Runtime.SubstanceRuntime.InitializeInstance (Adobe.Substance.SubstanceMaterialInstanceSO substanceInstance) [0x0000b] in <a948cc3a078e4af6aca89ce3b6cba84f>:0When running in the Editor, there are no issues - only happens in

Hi, I have been using Corona 8 since it's launch. Today I tried to use for the first time 3dsmax substance material with Corona 8 but it didn't work. I got the error that I don't have Corona as renderer. So substance plugin does not work with Corona 8? It worked just fine with Corona 7. I just would not like to go back to Corona 7.

In your 3ds Max workflow, how important is it to have support for Substance Materials in Corona Renderer 7+?

Hello!We have been using substance painter for our UE4 project, and we've been starting to port it into Switch/PS4/Next Gen stuff, but to my understanding the plugin we get from the store doesn't have the correct run time?Do we need to do something? How do we get access to the right plugin? Regards!JP

Hello, 3dsmax 2022-2023 with Substance2 material applied (ver 2.4.5 - 2.4.6), only uses around 20% of CPU power.The same project with 3dsmax 2021 and Substance2 (ver 2.4.2) uses 100% CPUs.  Same issue with Arnold, VRay & Physical materials!! Any idea to fix this!!?? ThanksBabak

Hello,I am using the Mixamo Add-on and getting this error in the System Console:C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.1\scripts\addons\mixamo_rig\mixamo_rig.py:2722 rna_uiItemO: operator missing srna 'export_scene.gltf' 

No matter what I do the Substance Add-on for Blender wont show up. I've tried installing the Substance Add-on for blender at least 15 times! I've installed through preferences by clicking on the zip folder. Upon refresing the addon list nothing appears for me to activate. After this installation the files ARE moved to the --/appdata/roaming/blender foundation/blender/[version]/scripts/addons--  folder but do not show up in the add-on editior in blender, which I need to activate the add-on. I've also installed 'manually' by extracting the addons contents into said folder, still nothing. I've tried this in blender 3.1.2, 3.0, 2.93, and 2.92. No luck in any of them, I just want to use substance in this project I'm using, and the addon seemed pretty useful. Anyone with similar experiences or suggestions I'd appreciate it!!

So here is what is happening -  You can see it says modual installed.  This is a portable zip install but I have also tried it on a installed to c drive version of blender I THOUGHT the intigration tools WAS the ADDOn but the addon is Substance3DInBlender-0.16.0.zip not the intigration one.  we install the intigration package second  here it says it is loaded and but I can not find it.      reason being I had the wrong addon    I saw windows and I saw download and I got the addon that the link  said I was getting I did not realize that there is also an intigration package.    A note that said Substance3DInBlender-0.16.0.zip  must be installed first.  It might prevent this progect from getting a bad rap.       If a person is in a hurry  they wont notice they are installing the wrong package.  The link did say I was going to download the blender addon and I we
