Substance 3D Designer

  We had so much to share that we decided to jump in early with the Community Digest for February 2025. This month: Anna Koroleva adds a touch of eerie atmosphere in Substance 3D Assets, a look at the advantages for motion design provided by native 3D integration in After Effects, a whole caboodle of 3D educational resources, and more. And away we goooo! Featured Artist   Beyond the Event Horizon: a collection of 3D materials by Anna Koroleva   Our Featured Artist this month is freelance 3D environment/material artist Anna Koroleva. The Substance 3D Assets library is once again adding Signature Collections by guest artists to its impressive library of resources. For the first such collection of 2025, Anna Koroleva has created Beyond the Event Horizon, a series of sci-fi-themed materials that are at once natural and organic yet architectural, non-organic matter that feels like it can grow and evolve, as well as deck plating and bulkhead materials that no derelict sp

So I have to  hit Ctrl+B 3-4 times or even re-load the graph before  certain texture is exported . Especially ones having alpha.     Does anyone know what might be a reason?

I need to make a following thing in substance designer - let's say I have an image with four areas overlapping each other Red, Purple, Blue and Yellow for example. Is it possible to compare all neighbouring colors in the image and draw a Black border line between Red and Yellow neighbouring colors, and to draw a Green  border line between Blue and Purple colors? Something like this: 

One year later, same problem. I tried to renew my Free Substance 3D for Students and Teachers License by submitting a new request for an e-mail with my Adobe ID. But this mail was never received and no, it isn't in my spam folder. I can't resend the mail, because I now get the error: "UniqueID already exists" in the forms input field. I tried my secondary e-mail address, but that didn't work either.  Why is this still not fixed and how can I renew the license anyway?

When adding a tilt to my tiles using the Flood Fill To Gradient node or a simple gradient, strange artifacts appear in my material. I've tested other versions of Substance Designer, adjusted the Flood Fill settings, made changes to my material, and still haven't found a solution.It's a bit frustrating to reach this point and not be able to continue because this error always appears. I would really appreciate any advice you can give me. 

Hi! Im having dificulties creating a tiling material. Yesterday I've updated to the latest version of SD and it seems its broken things along the way.- In tile samplers/ generators i now have to change Texture sampling to Bilinear as to not leave edges around.  (see imgs)- It gets more difficult with other nodes though where i cant change the texture sampling. Eg.: Edge bleed with Blur HQ. (see img) Could it be related to SDs Mip maps?Thanks for the help!A)B)

Does anyone know what identifier goes on IMAGE INPUT node for normals to be recognized instantly inside SBS Painter once you bake your maps?Inside Painter, I have managed to properly "link" the baked maps to the material I made inside designer, so once I do my bakes inside painter the maps automatically adds to their respective maps inputs of my material but thats not the case for the baked normals mapThough I can manually add the map, is kind of tedious to add it every single time I add the material so would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows the proper identifier for baked normals map.

I see dds is a file format substance could quickly export and import .. Much quicker than  any other file type.   What picture browser could show them ?  Not Adobe bridge  it sseems?   A sort of addon to Windows  maybe?

Hi! I'm working on a substance graph. All of a sudden, my node bar or node palette (whatever the name is) is missing from the window. A.PNG is the current toolbar and B is the original toolbar. How can I bring back all the node icons to the toolbar?  Thank you in advance!  

Hey peeps i am struggling trying to get the shapes of these materials any and all help would be appreciated, I tried using the random 2 and random grayscale nodes to get the shapes but there just dont off set in the right way to get a lot of varience , too many verticale lines and it looks off here is a close reference and far reference of the 2 materials  

I am creating a filter for SubstancePainter.This filter applies a gradient to each stroke of paint.The strokes are broken apart with Flood Fill, and the gradient is applied with Flood Fill to Gradient, but the strokes across the UVs are separate parts.I tried a Position bake texture, but I could not get rid of the joints.Is there a better way to do this?

A new update, Designer 14.1.0, has been released today to enhance your daily use of the tool and also introduces a few additions to the Spline and Path node set.   The most noticeable node is the Scatter Splines on Splines node, which distributes splines along a parent spline, offering options similar to those of a regular scatter node.   In terms of your experience in Designer, you'll benefit from new alignment tools to maintain a clean and readable graph, the copy/paste parameters feature to carry over parameters from one node to another, the color sampler tool in the 2D view to pin a specific pixel and track its value across multiple nodes, and several improvements to the search toolbar.   Take a look at the release notes for this latest version of Designer to learn more.     

Hello, How do I go about exporting through scripting while being able to control export settings and what output nodes get exported?  sd.tools.export.exportSDGraphOutputs  This function is not adequate.  I'm unclear on how to disable certain nodes of import and export.  This function doesn't seem to help:  current_graph.setOutputNode(o, False)  How come exportSDGraphOutputs doesn't set the names of the exported textures correctly? It just labels them "{graphname}_output_0.png, {graphname}_output_1.png, etc".How do I configure exporting through a python script similar to how the "Export outputs" window lets you when you right click on a graph and select "Export outputs as bitmaps".Essentially, I'd like a one button export script that lets me specify:Filename per output textureColorspace per textureResolution per textureWhat output nodes are exportedFiletypeCheers

I'm trying to transform a shape without tiling it. I tried using a Transformation 2D node, but, the node tiles the shape.  The node has a 'Tiling Mode' field, but it is disabled  and I can't find any way of enabling it.  I tried changing different fields on the node, tried different types of inputs, even restarted Substance Designer.  So this is either a really weird bug, or I need to set something up differently. The field does not have any sort of tooltip that explains why it's disabled.  So I have no idea whats going on here.  Thanks for the help.

Hi all, I have used a win PC untill now, but now I have moved to MAC. So I am looking for the Mac version of Bitmap2Material v 3.1.x (B2M) to download.I hope, someone can help me. Thanks a lot.

Hey guys, have mercy on me. I enjoy making models and using Substance Painter, but I don't make materials/textures. I went to Free PBR and got all their texture sets, but it's a folder with a bunch of maps. I want to convert them to a material for ease (a .SBSAR file?). I have a free trial of Designer and permanent Substance Painter. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks in advance everyone!
