Hi, here i have a tile sampler, a level, and a distance. When i plug levels into the distance all the white specs get much bigger - why does this happen? Also when i plug the tile sample into the distance it changes the white speck to white grey ad black, i have no idea whats going on or why it does that? Thanks for any help, the results of plugging nodes in and seeing the output is extremely confusing.

Hello,I'm new to substance designer and am using the tile sampler to tile the roses in the image below.I want more space between the roses so they fit into the green lines. I can offset the x axis globally but can't seem to find how to create more space between the coloums?

Hello,I learned this knowledge from a tutorial on Adobe Substance's YouTube channel. The tutorial covered the process of exposing the scale and rotation parameters within the Transformation 2D node. Additionally, I successfully exposed the offset parameters of the Transformation 2D node.However, I've encountered a challenge. After adjusting the offset parameters and subsequently modifying the rotation, I noticed that the shape rotates around the center of the canvas, rather than its own center. Could you provide guidance or suggestions on resolving this issue?Thank you in advance for your assistance.     

Hi i am trying to follow along with a tutorial and i have tried this multiple times, my cube base is always black. I have watched a few tutorials now and their cubes are always white. I have everything plugged in the same way. How do i make it so the cube is white like in the second imag? Thanks for any help    

I mean are  they  wasting my RAM or video  memory ?  I usually have  dozens  of image files  there  mostly unused .  And how to clean unused ones without  searching  what each one is ?

Hi,I am trying to do something very simple. I have 3 logos (imported them )  and trying to expose the parameters so i can switch them in CLO3d. Attached an image of the issue.

Any idea where i am doing wrong? Thank you

Hello,I'm having a problem with the "Shape Splatter Blend" node, it only displays the first pattern I connect and I don't understand why because there's no blend mode, there are very few parameters either.Thank you in advance for your helpBestHervé

I have a color ID mask, I'm using color to mask node to extract BnW masks from it, however the node doesn't seem to work with green color. Am I missing something? Is that an expected behavior? Couldn't find it in documentation.Nodes and settings:It works fine with red tho for example:Is there a way to extract the green text? My solution for this doesn't feel like it's a good one. I've recolored it all to red and masked by luminance. Color to mask cathes edges of other shapes tho, so I've had to blur them and run through a histogram scan  

I am using Unity 2022.2.10 and imported the Substance 3D plugin. When I import an SBSAR file it always imports/generates textures as .tga format files. Is there a way to change format of the textures to PNG in the settings of the substance plugin for unity?

I have a large .SBS library for a project that i'm working on, and after auto-updating to 13.1 all of the graphs CTD upon opening after the updater gets done converting them. Log shows no errors, just immediately cuts off. Rolling back to 12.4 allowed me to open them again. Something with the new update seems to be incompatible with my library, would really appreciate some help.

Hi guys,I wonder if any of you know how to get this kind of  RGB gradient inside substance designer.thank youMax

Big issues, while trying to bake a 10x10 poly plane from Maya into Substance Deisnger. I know this a bit much for a Substance software, handleling 100 poly is hard.   So I've imported a poly plane, that was conformed to my high poly, a wall (almost flat). But inside Designer, the window "Bake model information" do not show up, and no error message in the console nor the logs.    The "proffesionnal" contact / support, do not "work" on the week-ends. So I try to find a response on this forum. But I'm not a big fan of this methode, because the community will do Adobe's job, for a software the user are paying for... 

In Designer, I created a simple Grunge texture and want to use it as a texture (with exposed parameters ) in Substance Painter. In its texture category, my problem is that when I export the sbsar file, Substance Painter recognizes the package as the base material, but I want it to be added in the texture category (texture below) In previous versions of Substance Painter, we could manually use the category, but in newer versions, I can't change it manually.I'd appreciate it if you helped fix it.

Hello !It often happens that when I'm working on a designer, I can't make Redo. The Undo function works fine, but the Crtl Y shortcut has no effect and the top left button is grayed out.This happens frequently, but I can't define the cause.I've encountered this problem using Designer on several different PCs, but always with the same (professional) license. Please send help ! hahaThank you for your time 🙂 

I see Designer support  huge list of bitmap formats but I have troubles to find a convenient one.  I prefer to keep height  in same image  alpha.  You never loses the height that way and it's easy to store and manage as RGBA since normals and roughness are totally derivative.   But it seems only png  format is working  ok  that way and it takes forever to export from Photoshop with extra trouble of applying  alpha on a layer transparency.Is there a good alternative ?   It seems doesn't read alphas in exr at all.    Does something weird with Tiff  like spoilng  RGB  /color  part.   PSD files work ok but  take forever to read on  Designer side  and so on. Does anyone know a convenient way?  I mean a file format in RGBA  style  to export from  Photoshop and import in Designer?

Hi !I'm a 3D material creator.I want to take a real fabric and photograph it in 8 different directions under the same intensity of light (clockwise) and then extract the PBR maps in substance designer.I used the template provided by the software to extract the maps, and the results were amazing. I was able to see very fine details, but unfortunately I found a major flaw. (See attached image) I have gone through numerous node operations to fix this, but I have not been able to do so, and I have come to believe that this was intended and built in when the "multi angle to normal" node was designed. I would like to ask the developers on the forum for their opinion. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the top and bottom of the normal maps are inverted, is there any way to fix this?Best,Pat Kim
