Hi @Sajid342553428hqe,

For the Illustrator issue, Substance Stager doesn't natively export AI files, and I'm not really used to the application, so I'm unsure how Illustrator handles .PSD files.

If you want to save a specific camera view for next projects, you can either save it inside a .FBX file, or save the entire scene as some sort of "Sample" project, that you can load instead of creating a new project from scratch.

Just to be clear, a SBSAR is a material that is applied on UVs. These aren't two different workflows, you'll need UVs in order to apply the SBSAR. The Path tool is usually the most efficient workflow for adding seams.

Regarding the darker tones inside Substance Stager, I guess this is due to the Height/normal value that could be too high, but it's a bit hard to tell from a single image.

The quality from a .PSD and a .PNG should be equivalent as long as the rendering parameters are the same.

The size of the .PSD file depends on the rendering set up, so you could reduce the size of the image in order to lighten the file.

Regards,
