Hello,Is there a way to adjust highlights on a model ? (as we do in Lr or Ph)Is there a 'levels' option to do it instead ?Thank you very much 

Hi everyone, I'm trying to convert a normal map to a height map with geometric accuracy. Sampler does the job pretty well (with some minor approximation), however it limits the size to 4096 x 4096 and it stretches it into a square format. Is there a way in sampler to have the native resolution and ratio? Or is there any other adobe app that does a normal to height conversion with the same level of accuracy of sampler but preserving size and ratio?Thanks RiccardoPS:  does anyone know which is the exact formula sampler achieve to give this result? 

Hello there!  I havent been able to find the option to add a custom mesh in the 3D view (just like in substance designer).Here is my example: I am working a road material generator and I would like to import a mesh to test the perspective, tiling and the curve deformation.Now that his great software is starting to get updated and improved, has this feature been implemented? if not, are there any plans to do so? 

The target is to make 100% accurate texture comparing to the physical sample using Adobe Substance Sampler.The process I have been doing is, Importing vizoo scanned maps  Changing the measurments Changing the RGB colors Adding layers to enhance the texture Changing lights                                            and Exporting the sbsar file [ CLO and Vstitcher]I have a few concerns regarding this process. Change of the quality [ blur texture and color spots] and color after rendering in CLO - I expected to see high quality render image using Substance Sampler, but it's came as a low-quality render image than without using Substance in CLO.Can't change the color of the sbsar material in CLO.Can't import sbsar file to Browzwear.

Hello everyone, my question seems stupid, but I wasn't able to find anything around the internet to solve my problem, which is: I'm not able to pan in the 2D view in substance sampler (steam edition), I can only scroll wheel to zoom, and that's it. The software is updated at the latest available version 3.4.1.I didn't find anything in the preference that I might have switched off accidentally. I tried all the shortcuts but nothing worked for me. I started thinking that the feature might be entirely missing, but in many video tutorials, I've seen people doing the pan. Does anyone know what might be the issue?the last thing I still need to try doing is uninstalling and reinstalling entirely the application, but before that I' thought it might be wise to ask here.Kind regards and happy new year, Riccardo.

sorry If I'm asking basic question...but I've been trying to make this happen from couple of days, readed help, watched couple of tutorials but seems I've been missing some basic step.  If I go 3d object, import data set, there I will give some photos of object. My 3d geometry is made and I have nicely previeved texture of bricked wall. On other side UV of my scann is messed but I am aware that this is the part of scan process.  Can I crop somehow my 3d object to focus just on part that came out nicealy and would be good for trying tileable step ?  or maybe I should somehow arrange my UV properly, then I would be able to just crop it with square and then I would have what I am trying to achieve... I'm really confused but maybe this is a part where painter or designer come in ? 

Hi all, I am in the process of learning 3d modeling for archviz in an effort to expand my capabilities. I am somewhat new to material authorship and brand new to the Substance suite. One of the biggest challenges I am trying to navigate right now is figuring out how to replicate the actual brick selections that we use. I was wondering what the best method was to go about tackling that. I tried to use Sampler to create a material from a photo from the manufacturers website, and it sort of worked but I couldn't get it to tile correctly. Is it better to keep trying to fine tune that in Sampler, or is it better to try to create it from scratch in Designer? Does anyone have a resource or two that they could point me to to get me started? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello, I wish to create a rug texture but, I'm not sure if it is better to do it in designer or sampler. The pattern is fine, it's a picture, the missing part is the brushed wool effect. Any hint?

Hello, In my project, I'm using a PNG with two colors and an alpha. Is there any way to turn one of the color to an alpha? I've tried several things but if the color becomes transparent, the embroedery properties are not used in the render.Of course it is possible to duplicate and use a PNG where the color is transparent but that would be nice to be able to use two modes : one where the color is opaque, one where the color in transparent, a non destructive way. Is there any possibility to do that? 

Image to Material.I imported an image, done a lot of work, then realised when tiling that I need to adjust the source image in Lightroom (radial masks to desaturate and brighten some areas) and then bring it back to Sampler, but it would be a huge nonsense to redo the whole work.How can I reimport an image and let Sampler apply all the work (filters and parameter values) I had done to the previous version? 

Hi, I'm using a custom filter in Sampler on top of a metallic material. Regardless of how I configure my filter (with opacity output, opacity in the alpha of the basecolor, black metallic channel) I have the metalness of the base material applied to what my filter is generating. I.e. I cannot get rid of the metalness of the base layer. Any idea how I can set up my filter to prevent this?

How do I import my own mesh? the default meshes come with ratio Width 1 by Height 1.I work with different ratios and when I use th edefault meshes, the texture/material is streched and ugly, I actually can't see what I'm doing because of that, I have no idea what the result will look like.

Hi,I have a sbsar that I exported from SD and it's working fine, what you see on the screen is what I get when I load the sbsar into a 3d sampler. Exporting sbsar from sampler and exposing all the same parameters again, I lose the default green colors and all the existing presets...Any ideas on why this happens? Thank you. 

I have reported this issue previously and I want to open this issue on the forum. The issue is with the original, starter, image DPI's changing from input to final render. As an example, I start with 1024 X 1024 300 DPI .png, tif or .jpg image, and the exported base, diffuse, material DPI is not as the input image's DPI. Examples attached.Thanks, John

I'm creating a fabrics with pattern and I want to apply glitters only to some details of the pattern itself.I use the .svg file created in Illustrator (here attacched) and the color pattern, black and white pattern are esactly the same. They overlap perfectly.When I use the B&W pattern to apply glitters using a Custom mask input feature, the mask doesn't match in any place but only in some part of the pattern.You can see the screenshot here attacched and the Sampler file I used to create the fabric material.You can download all the original files  here below.This is an education project not a commercial project.Thank you in advance for any help and suggestion to solve.

I have made embroideries in Substance Sampler earlier this fall, exported as sbsar file and used them in Vstitcher and that has been working fine (the displacement map is not working but I have a workaround for that so no problem).But a few weeks ago I needed to make a new one and could not import in to Vstitcher. I have asked them and I don't think it's an issue with Vstitcher. I noticed the files were very small compared to the old ones that are working still, so I tried to not compress them but it still does not work.Can you help me with this?When I dont change the compress setting the file is super small (47 kB). The old ones that are working are between 2100-27900 kB in size.See attatched one of my test files that are not working to import to Vstitcher.

Version of the app: 3.4.0Windows 11 Hi!I ve just stumbled accros a problem (likely a bug) while using the perforate filter.So, everything work fine while using the perforate filter as shown in the image below:          But, Once I add a Floor tiles filter over it, the pattern is ajusted to the foor tiles but the hole pattern is kept the same as shown in the image below (Floor tiles filter has the material scale set to 4 and the rotation mode set to randomized):        Is this is a Bug or do I have to change some settings? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I've been attempting to follow the Substance 3D Sampler First Steps: Embroidery & Weaves tutorial to create an embroidered patch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdjKy6JlQRs, and I've ran into a problem where the embroidery filter and a fabric material that I've added are coming in at an extremely large scale. I've tried using different pngs at different resolutions, changing the embroidery scale, the thread size of the embroidery, and a few other things. I'm also using a clean install of 3.41 and have not changed any settings. My process is the same as the video, create a new project>drop png into the layers panel (use as bitmap)>add an embroidery filter above the png layer. Below is an example of the embroidery and denim fabric scale. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I can pan the object only, so the middle mouse button just rotates the object and doesn't center the material sphere in the view. The sphere with my b2m material is pinned to the top right corner of the viewport. I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and I just installed substance sampler today. 

Hi Guys, I have a photo of a small floor sample I would like to use as a material in a 3d model. How can I use 3D sampler/photoshop to create a material with enough variations of the sample to not look like it is just a repeating photograph. The sample photo looks like this. Thanks for your help.  

Hi,Created an embriodery, exporting as Sbsar file to CLO  but trying to figure it out how can i change the color in CLO. Tried different filters like color variation and colorize but when i export and open in CLO, it doesnt give me the option to change the color.Any advice how i can achive this?Thank you! 

Hi community,i plan to create videos using 3D models. I want to convert images to 3D models of i things i already own, like a graphicscard. I dont want to buy 3D models on mysterious websites. My plan is to highlight them like letting them float around, turn, letting fall or other things i cant do with normal equipment. So how easy is it to create a 3d model out of images?I didnt find any tutorials or videos regarding my plans. If this can be easily done i am willing to subscribe to Adobes Creative Cloud.

So I am trying to use custom masking for blending in Sampler, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong? The option to either paint or import is not there, what do I do?  Thanks!

Hi Substance 🙂 I just started a trial for the Substance Suite and look forward to learning these tools.I have some issues that are hampering my training though... 1. Can you replace the .rar file with a zip file? (See Screenshot)2. Can you make public the video highlighted (See Screenshot) This if the referring url, https://substance3d.adobe.com/tutorials/courses/First-Steps-with-Substance-3D-Sampler/youtube-mdjKy6JlQRs  

When will AI version of Image to Material in Substance Sampler be available for M series Macs?
