Whenever I placed a graphic (image) on any model in stager & render it, results are pixalated.

I've tried image in high resolution with both jpg & png. but results are same.

As Compared render with same settings in Dimension the results are way good then the stager.

here are the comparison results of rendered model in stager vs dimesnion.

Hi everyone! A note from the Stager team here. We're aware of the pixelated graphics issue and now that our 2.0 release is out this is the top priority for us to fix. We'll be hoping to share an update soon.

It seems like this is still an issue over a year later...
Is there anyone that can recommend a workarund? i think it's essential that this works, at least for me to keep subscribing.

Yes, I stopped using Stager because of this bug. I'm surprised they haven't fixed it by now. I use Dimension and Photoshop for simple graphics but otherwise it's over to another "Non Adobe" 3D app.

Seems like this is fixed using the Ray Tracing render option. 👍

I posted the latest.... On behalf of my fellow designers and artists, and considering costs, can someone update us all?
@adobe @adobesupport #adobesupport

It would be easiest to utilize the same engine, maybe as Dimension.
Don't force 72 dpi.
Allow rendering to choose/set DPI/quality maybe?
If Dimension is only good for 72 DPI, then it's non-sensical until images on, decals, can be rendered high resolution and clear.

Can we expect a grand update to solve the known issue soon?

opps *Stager (not Dimension) ... then it's not useful until then.
I'm now trying a few other programs to render until then.

Thanks Emma.

Has anyone on this thread managed to try out the new version of Stager yet? I'm wondering if this is fixed now?

Looking at the bug fixes:

https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/sg/all-changes-213064920.html

They mention this one

[Memory] Fixed an issue where editing a decal with raytracing on would consume GPU and not release it after the edit.

Not entirely sure if that was the issue.

Might download the trial again and test it when I have time.

Hope springs eternal...

Same for me. Makes Substance useless. This is not good, Aobe.

VERY VERY Sadly, same for me...

My decal (place image on) pixelated. No matter what I do. I thought maybe "displacement" might be the problem, but it doesn't make sense. Stager simply does NOT render decal/image clearly.

The decal was designed as a vector. I tried illustrator AI - which continues to puzzle me. It's VECTOR.
I blew up the image (vector) nearly 40 inch and 300 DPI - same 😞
I exported as a 300DPI png - same 😞

Truly, truly disappointing and make it unuseable for every application.

Maybe ADOBE is working on it, or maybe they just don't know how to fix it yet???

Most recent version and vector, so unless I'm missing something - I agree with all above ^^^
Take the rendering module from Dimension and utilize the same code inside of Stager.

Or, Blender is open-source. See how they do it... 😉 (wink)

I would be happy to provide whatever you need to investigate, as I am learning as well.

Emma, I posted about this in another thread and I finally figured out what's going on, and why not everyone notices the problem...

If the above doesn't make sense to you, give me a call and I'd be happy to try and help you. I know how frustrating it can be when we cannot get a good render of a decal place on tiny portion of a large surface.

Yep... still an issue. Useless software with this. Time to cancel the subscription. Looks like another issue they will not fix. Starts to be a few in other adobe software as well. Small issues they simply dont fix. Can live with most of them, but this one is a killer.

Same issue when I tried in Stager. I tried PSD and PNG and I can confirm they are both pixelated. Looks like a bug to me.

I have the same issue with any placed decal, jpg, png or .ai. Decals becomes pixelated. In dimensions it looks perfect. It makes substance 3D stager quite unusable for my work. Heading back to dimension for now seems to be only swift solution.
