Substance 3D Designer

Hello, I'm looking for help, I tried to do a pattern using tile sampler node and adding letters in order to blend them in the pattern.But i'm stuck because neither the distance node and the edge detect are working properly with letters. Do you have idea on how to do this ? see the images linked below 🙂 Thanks !

Hello everyone! There are two parameters in Grunge nodes: Balance and Contrast. I would like to create the same parameters for my own graph, so I can use custom grunge maps and then export an SBSAR file to Substance Painter. I know I should use a Levels node and create custom functions for "Level In Low" and "Level In High," but I still can't figure out how to create a proper function. I tried asking ChatGPT, but its functions do not work as well as I want them to

Hi, I would need to access the ids of the graphs present in the default node library in Designer using the Python API. For example nodes such as "Cells 4" or "Switch". I can see Designer is able to extract the relevant ids from packages located into the resources/packages system folder when we right-click on a library node, we can see both the .sbs path and the graph id. For example the "auto_crop.sbs" package contains both "auto_crop_color" and "auto_crop_grayscale" graph ids. I would basically need to access this same information from the Python API, I don't think this is possible right-now.

  I created the node and passed the parameters, but when I open the file, it still defaults to 8-bit

Hello All, thanks for taking the time to help out. I am trying to implement Channel Packing by adding a opacity through the alpha channel to the basecolor output. I have used the following Nodes to achieve this: I find it strange that no thumbnails are shown. By viewing the basecolor output In the 2D View, by switched through the RGB and Alpha Channels, all seems to function. The basecolor output has the follwing setup:I have even tried using RGB and A as a seperate Usage.Upon exporting and viewing in Photoshop, all I see is the Alpha.  Elsewhere in the graph I have the following setup, and all works as it should: I am desperate for assistance and I have unsuccessful experimenting and using online resources.Many thanks 

Hello What is the fastest way to open .sbsar files in Blender? I am using the Substance Designer and Blender windows side by side and would like to update the material created on the SD in Blender as quickly as possible. How do I do this? For example, is there a way to press a shortcut and the material goes from the SD to the blender viewport applied to the mesh? Thanks

Atomic/default Normal node makes  great normal maps,  sharp and per pixel precise for  closeups  but  produces  a bit of shimmering effect  when light to surface angle is sharp .      Sobel math node dosn't but  it makes super blurry results for something like asphalt grains  or anything with tiny  details  creating  visually  3 times bigger asphalt grains  than atomic Normal node for example.   Does anyone know a proper solution for this :  special normal map blur , filter   or what math it should be to adress this issew ?  Something not as blurry as Sobel for  smal  2-3 pixels details?    Our  engine cant use TAA.I tried to mix default and sobel node 60/40   but result  looks even  worse?    

Hi,I want to learn more about the Time parameter mentioned in the table (the last one). How can I access and adjust this parameter in Substance Designer to create a dynamic brush for Substance Painter? Also, what kind of changes or effects can it make in a dynamic stroke?

Hi, I just started learning Substance Designer. I'm following along with a tutorial, and everything was going smoothly until this point, where I have to use a Poly Quadratic Spline node.For some reason, it's all messed up in the 2D view. The first point is labeled both p1 and p2, overlapping each other; the second is labeled p3; and the last isn't labeled at all. Somehow the labels got shifted up by one, and I couldn't have possibly accidentally touched something because this is my first time using a Spline node. I've attached a few images. Is it a bug, or did I somehow accidentally mess something up? Please help - this is really annoying!

hi, I need to create a medieval brick texture. the bricks are kinda stacked like using stones of different shapes. more like a tetris feeling. instead of all the same size in lines. i found something kinda similar to what i want. how do i create the basic shapes for this type of thing?

Hi,I’m trying to create a stone masonry wall with this pattern it tried with tile sampler, tile generator and also photoshoping my own alpha I still cannot make it HAHAHA ( SKILL ISSUE XD )This is wall from the Greystone Mansion in LA I've attached screenshots of the place and the pattern that i decided to create!

Hi everyone, I'm just a novice texture artist and recently I wanted to try to make a simple enough wallpaper texture, but when I got to the moment when I needed to put these shells on top of each other like in the photo, I couldn't do it. I've been digging into Time Sampler for a long time, but I haven't found any settings that could do this. I also searched on the Internet but also did not find it. Could you help to make this effect?  I also tried to select individual rows of shells to move them, but nothing worked for me.Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone.I'm trying to make an effect and I can't get the outer borders of several lines to create a blur effect taking into account the direction of the line.With the directional blur or directional distance nodes I can apply a blur but with a global direction.Is there a way to make each of the segments have a blur based on its own tangent? Thanks
