Designer 13.0.0: Spline and Path nodes, Portals, Loops, etc.: big update for Material Artists!

Nicolas3DCommunity Manager

This 13.0.0 release of Substance 3D Designer brings a lot of love to material artists, with a huge quantity of new nodes, the Substance Engine 9.0 introducing loops for the first time and with a great addition to the graph: the portal node. And in order to please more users, we introduce a brand new Home Screen and provide additionnal languages.    As mentionned in the previous version, this one is no more supporting Substance models graphs: it means that you can no more open, edit or export such graphs in Designer. You can find all the reasons why we took this decision in this post on our community forum.    Release date: June 6th, 2023 New Content This 13.0 version brings a lot of new content. You will mainly find two new collections of nodes: Spline tools and Path tools. Spline tools are a collection of nodes for generating and ajusting splines, as well as using them for mapping, scattering or warping images. Paths tools are another set of nodes to extract,

Substance Designer won't give you a waring when you use a non supported version sbsar

Designer won't give you warning If you are using a sbsar from higher version. It just output nothing. No error massage. I'm using 12.3.1 load this file ArtStation - Slope Blur HD | Resources (It requires 13.0).

Looking for tutorials/advice on how to do sequins and pearls in Substance Designer

Hello!I watched the video "Introduction to Path Nodes in Substance Designer". There are effects shown with sequins and pearls. Can someone please point me to tutorials on how to do different types of sequins and pearls? I was so excited to see the cover photo of the video, but then there was no explanation of how to achieve those materials in the video.Many thanks in advance!

Unavailable to get latest release of Substance Automation Toolkit(SAT)

How can we get the latest release of Substance Automation Toolkit(SAT)? Our previous Substance Automation Toolkit is not compatible with the new version of Substance Designer. And in this page(Substance Automation Toolkit Update Compatibility ... - Adobe Community - 13921767 ), I found that the new automation toolkit is updated, but we cannot find it in our plan.  If it is going to be deprecated, is there an official subsitution for SAT? Thanks!

shape splatter not that random..

Hi Im having an issue where the shape splatter doesnt seem to be producing very random positioning of the shapes no matter how settings i seem to use.  Would anybody know what i might be doing wrong?    no matter what settings i use, i also seem to get the circles aligning with each other like this, where id like them to be totally random.  Its maybe more noticable with a semi circle.  That gird of 4 arent random and rotate all in unison.  Its like ive got some kind of tiling going on, but cant see any settings that would cause that

Height to Normals node creates thin outline around the edges

Hi, does anyone know why Height to Normals node creates thin outline around the edges? This is an issue for me cos then they create thin bump lines in areas where these normal maps meat. Here's the zoomed in example: The heightmap I'm using is a 16bit single-channel grayscale map and it doesn't have any edges along its edges at all. Here's that same area in the heightmap:(P.S. Of course I have TiIling turned off for all of my nodes.) Is there any workaround for this? Thanks!

Transform and gradient gizmo updateOpen for Voting

Nodes are cool but sometimes  I miss the convenient gizmos  available in many traditional image soft.    Like linear gradient where you can add points on the fly  select and scale them .   Like making few dots , select them and scale against the cursor or first selected .  Would be nice for Photoshop too actually. Or transformm gizmo working in exact pixels  scaling around pointed center of transform  . See Photoshop .  Same to crop things in exact say 32 pixels  wide stripe.       I did  my own node  to do this but it needs to have "size" node connected  from previouce input.  It's tiresome  and complicates the flow.

Blender way of managing nodes please.Open for Voting

Being accustomed to Blender node system it feels  so inconvenient in Designer . For example to make  a dot node in Blender we could just  SHift + pen stroke accross  sevral lines  and you have a dot in each of them if they are unrelated or  lines get merged if it's same data.      In Designer I sometimes  need multiple Alt+pick  tries to do same.   More complex it is harder it's to do. To erase a connection you can Just Ctrl+ pen stroke acrros a line or several of them at once . To insert a node you  don't need to select a line first, just move a node closeby and it  gets connected automatically. To make  your own tool you do just group  Ctrl+G  and thats all.   No tiresome exposing .  Quick an simple.   If you need to share same input in multiple nodes you do "driver"  and copy/paste it into input sliders of other nodes  making them violet ak

multi layered exr and cryptomate supportOpen for Voting

Would be nice to import exr  with cryptomate masks   and work like that through the whole node flow    with a node to extract specific mask /channel or layer  .   Same for saving such exrs .   I 'd love the export  dialog  would have  a checkbox to save side exr file with all the necessary  masks  and channels.  Or at least  having file format and bit depth drop downs   like Painter. It's so  disappointing to find  an old sbs  where nothing works anymore . Usually happens   a year after  with missed resources etc.     Well for me it's even half a year.   Never managed to work  with any sbs I did  after that time .   Or it just takes forever  to open with  so many  "no"   to unswer   yes/no popups.    A single automatic  side exr  file could be an easy option.

Pixelated Edges - high poly bake on low poly

The project I am working on requires me to bake the high-poly mesh onto a flat low-poly cube. The low-poly cube is unwrapped and layed-out (4k map, 512 packing res, 16 pixels shell & tile padding). However, I am left with jagged edges and a white contour after baking in substance. The defect can be seen in the picture attached. How may I fix this? Any help would be appreciated  🙏

Ability to link similar nodes' settings together. Or alpha height blending output in the color nodesOpen for Voting

I think it would be super handy to be able to link two similar nodes together. For example: The splatter circular grayscale, and the splatter circular color.   If I was using one to drive height, while the other one is color. It would be handy to not have to manually keep the two up to date whenever one changes.OR, to be able to use the alpha of the input to create a heightmap within the same color node. Then have an output for the color and an output for the height.

I've used the SAT in the past, but went to install it recently and I'm getting this page instead of the download page Did Adobe stop supporting SAT when they bought Allegorithmic? If so that's highly disappointing.

Spline Mapper Grayscale Color Map Not Working?

I'm interested in creating a visually appealing and sustainable platform, and I'd love to gather insights from both design experts and those knowledgeable about green cleaning services. Any recommendations or experiences shared would be highly appreciated!

please add support to api so we can:-have a node appear in 2d view and activate the "view outputs in 3d view" option.-open/close a graph-mark a node as selected(yes i know we can obtain it, but that isnt enough for what i want to do) to essentially to have its properties appear in properties panel. thx,phil

How to prevent reselling / redistributing of a single sbsar file?

Hi, we are recently starting to explore Substance designer for our company and we would like to know if you can license or lock the sbsars that you create. For instance we want to provide our clients custom sbsar's that we create for them but we want to prevent the client from reselling or distributing it to others. Is this possible? Kind regards, Wilbert van den Broek

How to randomize a desired parameter of each individual input that is in a tile?

I am a newbie in substance designer, so bear with me...  What I mean is, if I used a tile node and used a shape as the input, in the shapes properties, there are parameters whose valuesI would like to be random for each of its instance as the input in a tile. Is that possible?
