Substance 3D Designer

I found two issues with the recently released "Fit size to content" feature for frames. Both were found in function graphs, they may also exist in regular graphs. Selecting multiple frames with CTRL key and applying "Fit size to content" only rezises the first frame.Some frames created prior to the Designer version having the frame resizing features do not have the "Fit size to content" when right-clicking on them, even after converting the graph to the new format. This seems to occur in particular for frames embedded into other frames (but not necessarilly for the parent frames).

I have a problem,  I use "Mask to Path" and "Path to Spline" Nodes in Designer to create a Texture Generator, when I import it in Painter, the whole Mask gets messed up.

Hello! I have been working on a material that is intended to be overlaid on other materials in painter. I have set up a mask output with the following settings:My issue is that when i import the material into substance painter, I have to set the mask output manually under the materials channel mapping. As you can see here, the channel defaults to <no alpha>. When i select my mask output from the dropdown, everything works as intended. How can i set up my output to be recognized by Painter automatically? Or am i misunderstanding and this is actually a problem on the painter end?

hey Is there a way to use the Height map in Substance designer without deforming the object as in the image?     Does the same work in Unreal as in the image below?    Is there a way to do this with Triplanar or another means?remember that I am only using procedural maps.thanks

I have three tileable, seamless bitmaps that I want to use in a “Tile Sampler Color” node to create vertical siding.  I chose the “Tile Sampler Color” node so that I could iterate between each bitmap image to create a random pattern.  The problem I’m running into is that the bitmaps get scaled or stretched.  I have tried using “Absolute” under “Size Mode” and I end up with only one of the bitmaps showing.  There has got to be an easy way to randomly assign my bitmap images to these planks.  I can’t believe something so simple has to be so complicated in Substance Designer.  I would use Substance Sampler; however, I am not happy with the latest version, and I don’t have enough control over what I want to do.    I could also use a Flood Fill to move things around, but I think it would be much easier using “Tile Sampler” if it's capable of this taske  What am I missing here?  Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, When I activate display timings all nodes are at 0ms and I just can't figure out how to make it work. Thank you for your time.

Hello peeps my goal is gray scale luminance varience  with the tiled bars, i need the base to stay white and black but im trying to use the flood fill to random gray to create my varience, for some reason flood fill dosent seem to work can canyone explain what the issue might be. also it seems like tile safe rotation in safe transform based on true or false can effect the outcome any idea why that is? thanks again peeps for all your help. 

Basically I have a grayscale switch with multiple shapes the user could input, but I'm trying to find a way for the user to input their own shapes as well.Basically something like the SVG node, but the user could import their own in substance painter.

I want to make some changes to a material I got from the Substance 3d Assets Librarym, but I only have the option to import it to painter and not designer. It instead says that sending to this app is not available yet.Furthermore If i download it and open it in designer there is a lock symbol on the graph and I can neither see or change it.The following may be relevant:Both applications are installed to same directory.Substance designer was given a fresh re-install and this did not fix the issue.These applications are all installed and managed via adobe CC.I also can not send it designer through substance painter.

  Before the end of the month, we just have time to squeeze in the March edition of the Substance 3D Community Digest! Substance 3D News    The big news this month: GDC 2024 happened! And so we presented one of our world-renowned Substance Days! The big news:   Our Blender plugin 2.0 update which was released recently, bringing in refactored plugin architecture, improved stability and overall performance improvement, new image formats to export textures, bit depth selection for each map type, Substance Engine selection support (defaulting to GPU), and much more.     In Substance 3D Painter, some news for our spring release: Access Substance 3D Assets directly within Painter. Also, a preview of our new Text Resource, to add lettering to your surfaces.   In Substance 3D Sampler: Text to texture powered by Adobe Firefly – provide a text prompt, and receive a selection of modifiable textures. This is available today in the Beta panel of CC Desktop! &nbs

The Add Presets From File functionality consisting in creating an embedded preset from a preset file is not working.

Hi, I'm just experiencing MDL Graphs in Designer and want to use them in Painter or Stager. The exported MDL file indicates that version is 1.7.- In Stager a popup message saying this version of MDL file is not supported(this popup also includes a link to "Learn about the Adobe Standard Material" version of .mdl used by Stager, but this link goes to an inexistent page...).- In Painter, even if I add the MDL file in the \shaders\mdl directory, nothing happens. As I cannot change the MDL version, I am stuck to use MDL only in Designer, what is quite useless. Why this kind of feature is not maintained in version updates and when it will be available for the current MDL version ?   

I have no graph templates available when I click the add new graph template button. I saw another post about this issue on a different version, and I looked for the folder that should contain these templates. But no such folder appears to exist. Help please. I can't properly follow along on any tutorials without this. I am running the latest version of designer on a Mac.

Hi Team,I am having trouble publishing my graph to .sbsarBasically, it's greyed out, and I'm not sure whether there are any incorrect steps or actions.Please assist me with this.

Hello,I wanted to dive again in some automation, updating old tools I have created with SAT. As I have no longer access to them, I must manage to get the equivalent with only SD executables.I used sbsmutator to get a list of presets and outputs for each graph I fed into my pipeline. Does anybody know a way for me to get the same result without it ? I would prefer a non-python solution, as my pipeline is with only shell scripting, but any clue would be appreciated.

anyone know what might be causing this, i would guess its the noraml or height, but i dont see any of the wavyness in the maps.

I'm new to Substance Designer - is it possible to build a texture that follows the contour of the surface it's applied to, such as the plywood edge on this chair?

Hello, I'm searching for a method to capture an image from a top-down perspective of a 3D rendered material. This can be done on any canvas with a 256x256 size or similar. The goal is to avoid the lengthy process of rendering in Blender, Painter, zooming the camera at an angle, cropping a portion of the image, etc., especially when dealing with a large number of images. I simply want to create a top-down view of the 3D rendering with my specified canvas. Please note that I'm referring to 3D rendering, not the 2D substance rendering, which doesn't resemble the final product closely. Currently, I'm using Photoshop to import my material onto a flat layer. While it's nice to have control over displacement and lighting, it's quite buggy when it comes to retaining displacement and lighting values upon saving and reopening the PSD, even with saved presets. Additionally, working with lower resolutions, such as 128x128, and setting the material quality to something like Ultra res

  March 2024 has brought another edition of the Game Developers Conference, the premier event of the gaming industry. The Adobe Substance 3D team presented Substance Days at GDC, and we were once again delighted to be able to meet so many of our 3D community in person, in San Francisco. Big announcements during our keynote presentation this year included:   Substance Connector debuted at GDC this year. Take a photo of any surface; convert this photo to a modifiable 3D material in Substance 3D Sampler – and now, thanks to Substance Connector, send this material directly to Unreal Engine 5. Materials appear in UE5 in real time; they’ll load in your UE5 project, and can be modified there, right away.   Available for UE5 right now, it will also boost artist workflows incorporating Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, and Unity in the near future.   Wes McDermott discusses Substance 3D developments in our keynote presentation.    On this theme of connectivity, we also a

Can somebody post an instruction ?   I did it before but now  can't even find folder name  in sbs  text .  Ctrl+F  find nothing when i put folder  name from there  in the search. I assume  the folder name "RENDER2"  should be find-able in sbs file   and replaceable to another one. But it returns nothing  . How can it be possible ?I use Notepad+++ When I try to find by the filename   iI get   v="pkg:///Resources/Render_target_pass_Beauty?dependency=1431672173" .  I am totaly lost now . Been able to do it just fine   couple years agops.   when I try  to export7z  anf replace bitmaps there  it seems trying to  collect all sbs files  I ever  had in my network  .  Takes forever .
