Substance 3D Designer

Hi, I am not able to modify a graph at all because the package is read-only. I can't find any reliable information telling me how to unlock it. Can anyone be so kind and help me ?

How would one go about setting up nodes to calculate the inverse of sin, cos, tan? I need to draw triangles where I will only know two sides and their shared angle, and I'm using the Law of Sines to calculate the third side.

I don’t want to go too far off-subject in a non-Painter forum, but this news is a biggie for us: we’ve just launched a major new release of Substance 3D Painter, including a bunch of new features! Head over to our post on the Painter forum to learn more.

They way Zbrush adds polypaint/vertex colors to OBJs via OBJ comments is non-standard but is intended to work in SD. However if you want to replicate this in OBJs that are exported from another DCC and be able to bake the vertex colors, SDs OBJ Pareser will only parse the comment data if each #MRGB line is terminated by a windows style (CRLF) newline. This seems like a bug since this is an invisible difference to any normal user. In the image below are 2 OBJs containing a cube with the same vertex data. However only the OBJ on the left will bake as intended. 

HiI'm wondering if it's possible to use one graphics card in the computer and another external e-gpu to render a scene in Substance 3D Designer/IRay?In the Substance 3D Designer/IRay settings it looks like this is possible?

Hi! I'll try to write it as simple as I can: how can I create a node, that would take a number as an input, and based on that, give me shuffled outputs? I know the basics of how nodes work and how to add outputs and hide them, but...I'm trying to create a "randomizer" to my shape indices. I tried to create a pixel processor 1 x 16(maximum number of shapes), randomize it from 0 to input, but I can't wrap my head around how can I tell processor to look at each pixel and not pick a number that already in a row. I hope that anyone gets what I'm trying to say, thanks in advance!

I have Graph A which is 2K, and Graph B which is 4K. I'm overlaying B over A such that the result should be 4K. What I want to accomplish is that A will tile 2x2 (or 4x4, etc.) to match the resolution of B.I could include a number of tile generators for each output of A and expose the X and Y counts to the user, but what I really hope to accomplish is for A to automatically tile to match the resolution of B. Is there a mechanism for this? .

Not sure if this is a bug or a missing feature. I have a packed psd file ( actually I have hundreds of them ). RGBA are all used for different channels. But when I link it in Designer and try to separate the channels .. I get no Alpha channel .. I can separate RGB but A is always white. There's a similar issue in Painter when using theGreyscale Conversion Generator .. it only reads RG and B and ignores the A.

I have a complex Tile Sampler pattern with four inputs. The tiles are overlapping and have soft edges. Now I need to generate a color map with distinct color for each of the four. Is there a clever technique to extract pattern input instances from a Tile Sampler output similar to the result of a Shape Splatter to Mask?I thought of trying to re-creatde the texture using Shape Splatter, but it lacks a Rotation Map input.

hey Is it possible to use the resource: republish .sbsar from Substance Designer in Unreal Engine 5?Do you have any specific configuration? thank you very much

Thirty days have September, April, June, and November – and that means there’s just enough time left in the month of April to push out this month’s Substance 3D Community Digest. Read on.   Substance 3D News    We've just published our monthly post over on the Adobe blog; you can head over there right now to learn about Substance 3D Connector, the value of Substance 3D in Motion Design workflows, and much more!   This month the Substance 3D team has been racking up the miles. At the start of the month we attended OFFF Barcelona, then NAB Show in Las Vegas. Then, from April 23-26 we attended FMX  2024, the Film and Media Exchange, in Stuttgart where we presented updates on Designer and Painter, as well as reviewing users’ portfolios – a popular feature, and a real pleasure for our team.   Independent 3D Artist Ronan Mahon demonstrates the power of the Substance toolset.    And on April 25 we hosted Substance Days Frankfurt. To users coming from

Hi, Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm looking for a way to set the graph type on a SDSBSCompGraph.The graph type attribute I'm trying to set is the drop-down box under a graph's Attributes:I see a function called getGraphType() to get the graph type but no way to set it through the API. I've also tried looking through all of the properties on the graph and can't find the a property for graph type. In the python editor, for example, if I have an SDSBSCompGraph object called graph and look through all of the annotation properties, I don't see anything for graph type:>>> annotation_props = [p.getId() for p in graph.getProperties(SDPropertyCategory.Annotation)] >>> print(annotation_props) ['outputs_computation', 'identifier', 'category', 'label', 'author', 'author_url', 'tags', 'description', 'userdata', 'icon', 'show_in_library', 'physical_size'] I'm using Substance Designer 13.0.1 on Mac OSX Ventura 13.4.

Steps:Designer 13.1.1 is crashing in the following scenario:- inside pixel processor, use a portal structure (data going into a portal output then a portal input)- create a package function, copy subgraph containing the portal output into that function: the portal dot node will loose its source reference inside the function (which is normal)- make the data flow pass trough the function and the unreferenced portal. Expected result: Designer would report an error (at least into the console) and not crashActual result: Designer crashes This scenario can happen when copy/pasting code from one place to another, if portals are involved and we forget to re-source them. This is how it happened to me. I have a sample graph demonstrating the problem if needed, but cannot attach it here. 

Hei!When I use heightmaps that i bake externaly as a base i get these stepping artifacts even though my bakes look smooth. any ideas where this might come from. Tried 8 bit and 16 bit images, png tga and tiff. Same issue with textures from xnormal, maya and marmoset

Hi! The Tiling Mode settings of the Spline Mapper (both Grayscale and Color), aren't working for me.It always acts as if set to H and V Tiling, even if I set to No Tiling, Horizontal Tiling or Vertical Tiling.I expected it to work the same way as in the Spline Render (or any other node). Here's an example where P1 and P3 of a spline are positioned beyond the 0-1 range: What's also weird, is that the Spline (Poly Quadratic) switches its resolution to 2048x16 by itself in this setup and I can't change it to anything else.

I've just subscribed to the Substance suite, primarily to create custom parametric 3D shapes. I have Designer, Painter, Stager and Sampler but 3D Modeller is not anywhere to be seen. Have I missed something?I'm totally new to this but am familiar with Dimension.

Hi, every timeI try to post my material in the community assests, I get this message. No other information. The reason why I want to upload it is because I discovered the Substance Plugin for Unreal, which lets you have a faster workflow between apps. In a tutorial on how to use this plugin, an Adobe employee responded that if you want to be able to use the exposed parameters made in Designer in Unreal, you should first upload the material on the community assets. Then you can follow his steps (which was downloading the material, adjusting its parameters in Unreal).  So I have two questions: 1. Is it really necessary to upload the material to the community assets?2. How can I use my exposed parameters (made in Designer) in Unreal? Because it's a lot of back and forth just for tweaking a color or a value in Designer and then reimporting it, and so on. Thanks!  

hello What is the configuration to have more speed in Substance Designer with this hardware configuration?Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT 6-core 3.79 GHz processorRAM: 16GBVideo card: RTX 2060 6GbHD: SSD M.2 250 Gb thanks
