How to PDF convert to 3D module

it may not be a bug but to me it seems like a bug. definitely shouldnt be the default behaviour in my opinion. ive noticed that if i have 2 identical structured projects. specifcally i had 2 folders (core & main) in each project. the python editor as well as the plugin manager would load 1 project but not the other. on a rare occasion i even witnessed 1 project "bleeding" into another.. i.e i saw a print stmt from project 1 in project 2 console.to get around this atm, when i import any module that resides in a folder, i give the folder names a very unique name to ensure they never match any other project folders of which have modules i wish to import.

Hi, I have 8K project and every time I export outputs using batch render (as it's more performance efficient) I get this super lowres renders even though I set resolution there to be 8K: I can get crisp renders only if I render from main "From Graph" window: I would render it From Graph of course but it's very often crashes as the project is quite big and I probably run out of memory fast which results in SD crashing. Is there a way to render my 8K outputs from Batch render window while still having all nodes being crisp? Thanks for any advice!    

  Welcome to the February edition of the Substance 3D Community Digest. Here we’ll be presenting some of the latest Substance news, highlighting some of the Substance-themed content being created just now, talking about real-world events, giving out some brief technical tips, and more. Let’s do this thing.   Substance 3D News    The big news in the Substance ecosystem just now is the release of Substance 3D Sampler 4.3, which brings to the table new parametric texture generators, updated material content, and new and improved filter tools.   For more information, hop on over to our post on the Adobe blog about just this subject.   Substance 3D Events   Notable events coming up for the Substance ecosystem include:   IAMAG Master Classes, March 15-18, Forum des Images, Paris: stop by our booth to chat with the team and share your experiences. On March 16, at 15:00, our own Technical Artist Louise Melin will be presenting a session on sculpting a s

 Hello everyoneI start with Substance Designer Version 13.1.1 I want to follow a tutorial of the cloud, but I do not have the nodes used in the tutorial like the node 'warp' or 'Wood Fibers' for example.Even the 'Blend' node does not appear.Difficult to follow the tutorial in this case. Anyone would know what is going on? Thank you.

Hello Peerps, i am new to the world of functions in Substance Designer. Currently i have 5 materials i want to switch between, I noticed the material switch node but there does not seem to be a multi material switch node. Is it possible to change the switch/boolean in the material switch node to an integer? If so any support or information would be appreciated. Pretty much trying to set the material switch up like the Grayscale Multi switch with a get number and get selection integer. Thanks again and i hope you peeps have a great day.

Designer is up to date.13.1.1 build 7509.PC. Expected result - A linked PSD should provide usable layers as resources. Actual result - it displays the layers with warnings rendering them unusable. The psd file has simple layers.All use transparency.No folders,No layer effects,Just 8 painted layers.Link it into Designer, it sees the layers, you can tick them.But on loading every layer displays a warning and cannot be used in the graph.The warning suggests its trying to find a .png thats obviously not there or hasn't been converted to. NOTE it DOES work if you IMPORT.Just not if you want to LINK. 

Is it possible to code a completely customized node from scratch in Designer (I wish to reference a graphics API)? If not, then is it possible to write some plugin or script to take the image output of a node to be used with a graphics API, and pass the image output of that API as the input of another node in Designer? I haven't figured out how to accomplish this with Pixel Processor (as it only takes mathematical operations to be run in parallel for every pixel), or with FX-Map (since I'm not working with repetitive patterns). Any alternative suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How would I go about creating a filter to create a normal map that feels more like hand-painted normal maps? Galvanized metal finish filter in Substance Painter seems to do something similar, but I can't open it to see how it works. 

Using the scripting API is it possible to create a custom node that outputs an image? I want to create some random curves and pass it onto the distance node. If it's possible, are there any tutorials or examples that would explain how to do it?

 These two identical tile samplers create different 2D images. How can I get the same thing? 

Hello, I will be very grateful if you provide me with your feedback. I am creating two materials (leather and wool). I have to get as close as possible to the references and my knowledge in Substance Designer is not enough, I share reference images, the ones called OR are the originals and the ones called SD are the ones I generated in Substance Designer. I would appreciate any guidance in this regard, thank you!

Hey guys, is it possible to set some some global path in SD similar to the way Houdini has it, for example $HIP/MyProjectSources/ where $HIP would be main root of the project directory containing all the subfolders with various textures I use in SD? I need it because very often I have to copy my substance project from work PC to my home PC and vice versa and while at home I may have MyProjectSources at C:/Projects/MyProjectSources, on my work PC it might be on Z:/FolderA/FolderB/FolderC/MyProjectSources and it would be nightmare to relink all the pathes manually. Is there some way to do that? Thanks!

I need to add metadata to graphs via python. Currently I can find and manipulate the metadata if the user has created it manually, but I'd like to do this programatically if possible.  createMetaDataStr(aName, aValue) only seems to work on packages. Is there a method for graphs?

When I try to export sbsar to use in Painter  I almost always get some  criptic yellow message and refuse .   Is there a simple way to make sure evrything involved is duplicated  to same  package ?  Or maybe a way  to kill those  things in sbs file that shows yellow triangle?   Sbs came as a single line  xml file  that is very inconvenient to edit in text editor. How can I make  those yellow  references  disappear  in sbs without breaking anything.   Does anyone have a pyton scriot that could "clean" the sbs from unused  resource links?   Because  very same sbs works just fine in Designer itself.  So my guess those missing resources are redundunt . Wonder should I try  to task chat GPT4  for that.? Does anyone have an experience to share?

Hi,I can't figure out why I don't see the 'publish' button so that I can save and import the material in Substance Painter?Cheers,Jacques.

Hi Adobe,With the new release of Designer my templates won't show up anymore in my template list.I think it's a bug but maybe I'm doing something wrong.ps: if I put the same .sbs inside <Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Designer\resources\templates> it shows up correctly.Thank you.Max 

Can someone please tell me the difference between procedural and captured assets?   Is it that captured materials use texture maps and procedural materials don't? Thank you.

Hello. I downloaded a material that I was interested in, and specifically in its preset, that is one of the 3 variations of this material. However, I couldn't find this preset in the SBS material so that I could edit it, only the SBSAR file. How can I get an access to one of the presets in Substance Designer? Thank you in advance.Sincerely,
