Substance 3D Designer

I'm trying to get a blue and white checkerboard pattern on the lycra. I don't care what platform - Designer, Sampler, Painter - as long as I can create the checkerboard on lycra. Thanks. 

Hello!The embroidery filter included with Substance Painter (and Sampler) is incredibly well-made and useful for many projects. I was wondering if the original SBS file used to create it is available anywhere? It would be really helpful to have access to it for learning purposes and to adapt it for specific use cases.If it’s already available and I’ve missed it, please let me know!Thanks so much!Margaritis

Or I need to do it  on my own ?    Like  selecting a range of splines  and slide an image stripe randomly on each of them?    Any other  spline nodes that may help?     

Hello Substance 3D Designer Support Team / Community,I am experiencing a critical issue trying to run a Python script in Adobe Substance 3D Designer, Version 14.1.2 build 8986 Release (04/09/2025). Edition Windows 11 HomeVersion 24H2Installed on ‎12/‎6/‎2024OS build 26100.4351Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.107.0My primary goal is to programmatically create a network of standard nodes and establish connections between them within an existing, opened Substance graph. I am trying to automate the setup of a workflow involving nodes like bitmap, levels, blur_hq, normal_blend, normal, and output.I'm encountering persistent AttributeError and ModuleNotFoundError messages that indicate significant discrepancies in the Python API for my specific build of Substance Designer, compared to common documentation or expected behavior.Here is a summary of the issues encountered, with the most recent error being the critical blocker:Initial API Access:ModuleNotFoundError: No

Is that what this pop up mean?"Adobe Substance 3D DesignerWe apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We would like to inform you that the support for MDL graphs will be deprecated in a future release of the software. It means you won’t be able to create, edit or read any MDL graphs. To continue working with them, you will have to use an earlier version of the application.

Hey folks, I have two computers on which I actively run Designer (one work PC and one laptop for personal use). I've noticed that while working with larger graphs at 2k or higher, the 3D viewport updates, renders, and responds to changes in the graph noticeably faster than my laptop, despite the desktop having less VRAM and a comparable GPU to my laptop. I'll post the specific hardware down below for reference, but I'm curious why this ends up being the case. It's a bit of an annoyance to jump from working on one machine that feels like a smooth experience to another machine that feels noticeably more sluggish on a daily basis. My only guess is that the laptop is forced to clock the CPU or GPU at a lower speed to keep the temperatures in check, but beyond that, I've no clue. Desktop HardwareCPU - Ryzen 9 7950X 16C/32TGPU - GeForce RTX 4070 12GB VRAMRAM - 64GB Laptop Hardware (Razer Blade 16)CPU - i9 13950HXGPU - GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile 16GB VRAMRAM - 64GB @ 5200 MT/

Hey! Does anyone know how I could possibly make cracks that look like this? I've been trying to do it using a combination of the scratch generator and cracks 3, slope blur and directional warps. I'm struggling a lot and can't get an idea on how to make it. Thank you in advance! 

Heyhey, guys! :] For a personal project, I am trying to replicate a european rose chafer's iridescent texture in UE5 as detailed and precisely as possible. I already got the entire logic for the iridescence and almost everything else set up in Unreal but there's one thing that's still missing - the proper micro surface texture. So far I am using just a texture with very small bumps that's blended with a swirly texture in the shader, and it works decently well but it's still not quite what I am looking for.   So, here's what I want to replicate:  The first 3 pictures show the dotted nature of the microsurface, while the last 2 show the swirly structure on a somewhat more macroscopic level. So I'm trying to create a somewhat regular array of dots that follows a swirly structure.  If you were to replicate that pattern with the described features accurately for your job, what would your approach look like? I've had several thoughts about it but

Hello Substance team, I would use Designer on my second monitor, minimize it and when I maximize it again, it would be on the first monitor instead of the second. It's as though it doesn't remember which monitor it was supposed to be on. The expected behavior is of course to have it maximize back to where it was before. This has been an issue for a few versions now. It could be a specific windows issue (I can confirm that this is not just happening to me, and has happened on Win 10 and Win 11). This is just hugely annoying but the workaround is clear and simple. Hope you guys can look into it soon! Thank you!

I heard mention on a video that this was possible, but unsure where to start. Wondering if someone has some ideas?

Hi Substance team,When using scatter spline on spline and trying to hook it up to a spline mapper grayscale afterwards, the spline mapper grayscale does not return any result and has no information in the UV output. When not connected to scatter spline on spline, it shows the result as expected. I have attached the sbs file for your testing.Hope it helps with the troubleshooting and resolution!Thank you! 

How can I make sure the export size of a image in substance player is matching the input image size? I don't want to have to set the size manually as I need to batch process a bunch of input images. At the moment I only see the option to set the export size manually, but not per image. The graph in designer works how i'd expect, the output matches the input file size. Changing depending on input image size  cheers

Hi there,does anbody know a resource where i can download a substance plugin for 3dsmax 2020.thanks 

Hello, I'm trying to create a Pentelic (off-white) marble texture in Substance Designer. I've already made an attempt, and so far, it looks okay, except I'm having trouble getting the beige/gold veins (supposed to be very subtle) to appear correctly. I found and looked at the regular marble tutorial posted on these forums, but it seems a bit too complex for what I'm trying to do.My ultimate goal here is to submit it to the Unreal Marketplace so I can try to get the 6-month Painter subscription offer they and Adobe have going, but the cutoff is tomorrow, so I don't think I'll make it in time.Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,I've been with support for hours and hours trying to get the Exclude Pattern in the Preferences > Projects > Library paths to work with no success. My objective is to specify a root directory for an asset library which has a bunch of assets shared among artists. I want Recursive enabled so it would automatically scan the subdirectories for all the assets. LibraryRoot/Asset1/LibraryRoot/Asset2/LibraryRoot/Asset3/...Each asset subdirectory will look something like:LibraryRoot/Asset1/asset.sbsLibraryRoot/Asset1/WIP/asset1.sbsLibraryRoot/Asset1/WIP/asset2.sbsLibraryRoot/Asset1/WIP/asset3.sbs... WIP will contain development save iterations of the asset and should be excluded from the Recursive scan.I've tried the following Exclude Patterns:WIPWIP/*/WIP/**/WIP/*.*[\\\/](?:WIP)(?:[\\\/].*)?$also with and without quotations. Nothing works, it seems like it's completely ignoring everything in this field. Can anyone confirm if this works or doesn't work for

Hello!Im trying to make twisted wires in substance designer, Ive gotten the twists well enough with spline nodes.I cant figure out how to add colors to the splines/wires, everything I've tried adds color uniformly and not per-spline. Might anyone know how to solve this? Thank you!I've attached a screenshot of my current setup

Hello, I am a biginner with Substance Designer and I would like to import a normal map that I created with another app into Sunstance Designer. So, I did "Import Ressource -> Bitmap" and my map is now available in my project, but I am not sure if I  have something else to do, to "inform" Substance Designer that the image is a normal map...I asked to ChatGPT, who told me that a new dialog should appear after the importation, in which I should be able to specify that my image is a normal map thanks to a parametter "Usage : Normal map", but for me, this dialog doesn't appear... Even when I select my imported image, a parameter pane appear, but I don't see anything allowing me to set my image as a normal map... Could you help me, please? Thank you in advance!
