Substance 3D Designer

I am attempting to generate an ambient occlusion map from a height map using the RTAO node. However, the output in the 2D view appears completely white, with no grayscale details. In contrast, the HBAO node produces the AO map correctly. The tessellation factor is set to 40, and the height map scale is set to 5. I am using Designer 13.1.1 on Windows 11, running on a system equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, 32GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 7700XT GPU. 

I want to make a material with uv shifting  in a next uv tile/span.   Can do so in Blender shader editor but would like to have same option in Designer .   Is it possible somehow ?    Whatever I try it's always first  tile 0-1  repeating in 3d view pane.  

I asume it could be  done  by reading    with "find text" option  in something like total commander ?     is there any easy quick  method?

I have an idea: is it possible to use text-to-3D technology to generate 3D product models that not only have a refined exterior but also include a reasonable internal stress structure? The generated product models should be ready to directly create mold designs, which can then be used with a 3D printer to manufacture the product molds. Can Adobe achieve this? If so, how can it be implemented? We are open to collaboration.

If I need some patches of flat gray values  in one of rgba   working as time values  .   So far I have to export as 16 bit  tiff  and convert it to 8 bit  in Photoshop   with dithering off.      Can I do same in Designer somehow ?   When I try  to export tga  from Designer directly  my flat gray areas always get some dithering  noise.

Plz refer to the short video.There's a parameter such that: If it is zero or higher → Blend Mode: AddOtherwise Subtract. Happy Holidays!Thanks

Whenever I right-click a node, and select duplicate, it is SUPPOSED to do something, right? Like duplicate the node? It doesn't do anything at all. Doesn't emit an error, just, does nothing. Like, duplicate SHOULD duplicate things, equivalent to copy/paste (which also doesn't do anything), right?I'm on OS X Sonoma 14.6.1

I feel like this may be a bug but it could be an overlooked feature or even me missing something.When Subsatnce Designer exports textures using Export Outputs, the images output will always have an alpha channel no matter what is input to the output and no matter what settings are used.I've tried setting User Data to alpha=none which does not work.I've tried using an Alpha Split node before ouput, despite only pumping in RGB Designer will still ouput an RGBA image.I've also tried setting the Components to RGB rather than RGBA, Desiger seems to completely ignore this entirely for output exports.Anything else that I am missing or is this just missing funcitonality or a bug?It's worth saying that Substance Painter can handle not exporting Alpha so it's weird that Designer can't.This is important for game development because RGB and RGBA images have different compression and cause different memory sizes.

In super short, I want to do this ↓CalculatorAnd I've tried these:LINK 1  LINK 2I want to give user a float slider (to move something in X and Y) but the result should be a multiple of 1/32 (let's say). The approaches I tried are not giving me the 'Stepped' result but smooth continous values. Happy holidays to the US folks! Thanks!

A still from the short film 'Mortem,' by Florent Bizec and Frederic Colin.   Time ticks inexorably along, and we’ve already crept past the end of November. But let’s say that the start of the holiday season gives us a little leeway on this; here the awesome news and content from Substance world, for the month of November. Featured Artist   November’s featured artist is Adam Capone. Adam began working as a texture artist in 2005; today he is a Lead Environment Artist at Ubisoft Halifax.      What’s the most important thing to keep in mind when creating a piece of artwork? Ultimately I believe it's asking yourself ‘Why?’ If you’re working on personal artwork for your portfolio, start by looking at what this new piece of artwork will bring that doesn't currently exist? For instance, this could initially be as simple as seeing that you only have mostly wood textures in your portfolio, and giving yourself the goal that the next asset will focus more on metals –

Hello everybody. I try to replicate this effect that is in the attached image. The problem I face is that at certain points the circles are orverlay them selfes. Thanks

Hello Adobe Substance Designer Team and Community, we are game developers who are trying to make a game (so the questions are in the context of making a game). We had a few questions concerning the Steam license.  1. Is the Steam license a pro or indie license or doesn't it work like that anymore?  2. If I buy the Steam license of 2024 and don't buy the newest every year, will I be able to use this version for commercial use (even if it is 2030, for example) 3. (If the pro and indie licenses dont work like that anymore) Are there any limitations to how much you can earn as a buisnis? using Substance Designer for our game assets (for example, when releasing a game). Also, I could not find the terms or document about this, so if there is one, can someone link it for me.  Much thanks in advance. 

I'm creating a tool for substance painter. Currently I can only expose single parameters from the levels node in Designer.Is it also possible to expose the whole Levels graph, so it looks the same way in Painter as it does in DesignerTom

Hi,Im trying to achieve something that looks similar to what you can see on the attached image, something like histogram looking pattern with distorder option, I need to add I'm quite new in Designer so maybe I'm asking for something super easy. I've started with a square with Moisture Noise but Im not getting correct results...I would like to have an option to disorder the pattern to be able to achieve diffrent patterns, variations. Do you know maybe how to quickly achieve such a thing?

Hey guys, I'm preparing smart material that will generate rake brushes, but I'm stucked in one place. What I have so far is the setup visible in the attached image, but what I want is to have transition from one color to the other like you can see on the 2nd image. So the darker color has an inpact on the transition edges (darker color covering slightly the brither one).I have 2 diffrent rake brushes generators created using Time Sampler nodes. The mask between those two visible here is just an example, nothing final.Have you got any ideas how to solve this issue? Cheers 

I have two materials in their own graphs I want to blend together with the Material Blend node, and cut some areas out with a mask.However one of the materials I've made has Anisotropy and there isn't an input for Anisotropy Level or Anisotropy Angle in the Material Blend node. Is there a way to create an input or chanel for these maps?

Good Day! I am new to the world of 3D printing. While I don't yet know how to create my own 3D files, I'm looking for recommendations of which Adobe product would be good for a novice beginner?  I'm looking to design and print items for my own consumption and use.  Thank you.

Bonjour,Les objets en 3D téléchargés, n'apparaissent pas dans Substance 3D viewer. Comment les voir ?La generation à partir de prompt non plus.CordialementAlain

Like this in Blender ?   To figure out what math nodes are best  for desired curve   response for  certain input slider?
