How does one create a spherical light source? I would like to create a sphere which radiates light and glows. Suppose I import a simple landscape photograph of a field as a background. I then create a sphere hovering above the landscape, and now I need the sphere to glow and illuminate the landscape. I would like the light to emenate from the center of the sphere. Thank you!

hi,is Substance 3D Stager useful for game developing? (as other in the adobe pack) there could be issues about license if using 3D stager default assets even if it's already bought? for a solo-game developer what type of package i have to choose? (team or alone users)?   

Hi! I'm new using Stager, but I've used Dimension in the past. I have a request at my job to make an LED screen, I did it last december with Dimmension and just adding Glow with no problem.But I don't know how to do this on Stager, because if I add emision to an object, it becomes white glowing but I cannot see the image. I imported the .dn file into stager but if I change the colors picture for another one, it doesn't reflect the changes, it maintains the colors picture.This is what I could do but it's not "turned on", this has an emision of 0.25. Thanks for your help!

Other Adobe programs run on the same machine, as they should*, but Stager doesn't allow me to log in.  (Stager is a bit buggy in general, and not just because I use it on an old machine.)

  Hello,First Dimension stopped working, now Stager stopped working. It does not open its own documents after saving - all of them. Reinstalling the application and the whole CC package does not help. The error keeps popping up and is impossible to work around. A week of work is gone.Both programs work and function, but after saving and closing they do not open their own files - no matter what they are, even empty ones. This also applies to a newly created document - I open the program, create a new document, save. After opening I am always greeted with the same message.. Configuration:AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHzWindows 10 Home 21H232GBGPU - XFX AMD Radeon R9 390 8GBMotherboard: B550 AOTUS ELITE F10   

Is there some way to export and 3D print Substance Stager models at hubs.com or somewhere? What is the best file format to export a 3D model in so as to get it 3D printed?  Thank you!

When will Boolean funtions be added to any of the substance apps that create 3D shapes?

I understand that Dimension/Stager have no animation capabilities, but I am curious what kind of animation would like to do? Do you have any links to examples?I wrote and published on Amazon a book,  "Adobe Dimension - Beyond the Fundamentals" in April 2021, and I considering wrtiing one on doing basic animation of Adobe Dimension and Adobe Substance 3D Stager scenes/models in free 3D programs that are available. Thanks, Mark

hi there, my stager has stopped showing paramerers for materials and objects. To clearify, when pressing on the collapsable Substacne module in on the right lower hand side after having chosed a material,  the Substance modal seems to be open, but doesn't dispaly any parameters. Any advice for displaying them again, maybe my Adobe Substance Stager is corrup, idk, anywho, any help is usefull here.  i'm runnign stager on a mcb pro m1 pro, Stager version: 1.1.1   (as you can see on the picture, i have chosen hard plastic and in the Substance modal, no parameters are found)

whay nothing works ok in 1.1.1 ver ??? gizmos not shown ! objects disaapear in realtime mode ! i can see them just in raytrace mode ! full of hang ! we dont need neural filters in Ps ! we need apps work WITH NO BUGS !!! this is what users need !!! plzzz stop stupid updates....

I have the sun coming through frosted glass with plants on the other side, yet the shadow is coming through as if it were standard glass. From my understanding frosted glass should give a diffuse effect and cast very blurry shadows.

Why is the sun still so dim even on 200% intensity?

I've been trying to render a file for 2-3 days. I set it to render, then leave it. When I come back, hours later, the render hangs somewhere in the middle of the progress bar.My scene a big canvas with lots of objects. I'm rendering 4000x5000 px.  I don't need super high quality, I just need to get this thing I've been working on for weeks over to photoshop, in one piece.  Since Stager isn't presenting any errors, it's just comatose, I don't know what to do. The interface "works", that is I can go through the save dialogue, but it just doesn't save anything. It may be that the underlying process is just busy, but... when nothing happens, nothing keeps happening, it's really hard to figure it out.  When I come back, even if I leave it for an hour after that, the progress bar isn't moving. Also, since it's not the app crashing, only the underlying software, there's no crash reports, nothing like that. What do I do?

I recently installed Stager(1.1.1). It starts fine but placing an object in the viewport has no effect. Most of the menus and tools seem like they are active and can be selected but there is no actual effect. I can load a stager file but it shows nothing in the viewport.Once the program is opened it can't be closed down unless I terminate it in the task manager.I've reinstalled the program several times with the same result.Any suggestions for a possible fix?

Hi,I am trying to figrue out what programs can help me with this: I want to be able to build a nice setting/scene and then add a product to it. To be able to have nice product photos without having to make the scenes with real objects en stuff in a real studio. So my questions are, wich program lets me build beautiful photorealistic scenes and how do i make a photo/3d model of my fisic product to import in to that scene. 

Hi Guys If I have a model with multiple materials that requires scrolling, the last material in the list cannot be renamed. When double clicked on it will scroll the list up. Let me know if you need a screen capture of it. Kind regards,Iyad

I changed the Magic Wand setting to tiny and now when I try to scroll it up nothing happens, its stuck on tiny now. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks. 

Wondering why displacement never works in Stager, Is there something I am doing wrong here? Cheers,Charlie Dixon

Hi, just to be sure is 1.1 not M1 native ?I thought it would be when I saw the announcement. Thanks

Hi,   I recently upgraded to Stager and painter 2022 via steam. A couple of issues I have found that you might be able to resolve.   1)  Can the steam stager 2022 (painter etc) version work offline without the app wanting to quit after it links back to Adobe cloud? When you put the steam app into offline mode the stager app shows an error message saying it will quit as it's a Adobe trial version and then it won't work until it goes bank online.This is very troublesome as I wouldn't always have internet connection so having the ability to use the software without wifi connection would be very helpful.   2) when I try to open the stager app I sometimes get an error message saying something about Sandbox needs to be installed.   3) I know this isn't the case but the rendering speed is like the rendering is going via the web as it does seem slower than dimensions - I have a new MacBook Pro Max so it shouldn't be rendering this slow.   4) Stager - the displacem

I know that CAD file imports are supposed to be Enterprise only, but I can't recommend moving from Keyshot Pro to Stager to my boss if I can't test out how I pretty much start every 3D project - which is by importing a STP file that I get from the manufacturer. Does anyone know how to get around this limitation? Thanks for your help.

So i textured on painter and exported to stager using its preset available in painter. Everything worked out until i activated ray tracing mode.When ray tracing is on i get black artifacs around my entire model when moving the camera around.After a bit more digging i found out that meshes with no smoothing groups doesn't get affected with this issue.Hope you guys can help me with that.

Anyone else having issues with Adobe Substance Stager since updating to 2022? Thank you!

When I render my work all is well, but when I take it to Aero the images inside my work are all sideways. Please help.
