Substance 3D Painter

Let's say I have a UV unwrapped model with multiple texel densities: 4 [base Td], 8, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 px/cm, and I want to perfectly equalize their effects on normals-height using  Height Adjust filter:- what is the precise formula that I should calculate to put its result into Height Adjust filter?    

Hello all,After trying many times now, I still cannnot get every channel listed to export after my paint session. Usually it is the Diffuse ( Base Color), Specular, and Glossiness that refuses to export. I use Vray, and I have the same issue exporting a Vray output template as a standard PBR template. Please help!Paul

^ i know this is  top 1 is not a bug its a UV issue any idea how i can fix this ??---------------------------------------^ this 1 is a issue that came from 11.1.1 Update a bug for the Path Along Tool i already did this 2 times and double checked the longer i use the tool it changes to some odd Wooden Tool for the Height Map..... i even keep on checking ever 5 min.. until 10 min mark every thing changed to WOOD style so i went back to Brush style didnt have any issue..... I hope this gets fixed before 2025 steam version expires because i use this tool alot.......... i didnt have this issue on 11.1.0

Hello! I am totally new to substance 3D painter and I find it facinating and great software, like a new Photoshop for me! I am very good with lights and cameras & rendering in NVIDIA Omniverse, I am the worlds first Omniverse Ambassador and also now Dell Pro Max Ambassador. My question is about the golden stripe in the wine glass of the restaurant example scene.When I export the scene as USD to Omnvierse, I get that glass as one object, so I cannot just replace the material for the glass part with native Omnvierse RTX2 rendering engine glass material, since then I loose the golden stripe. How can  split this golden stripe to own object so it exports to USD as 2 separate meshes?  restaurant demo scenein Omniverse

Hi!I'm looking to use Substance 3D painter 2025 and Substance 3D Designer 2025 and freelance for larger companies in Sweden. I was wondering about the licensing differances between the Steam perpetual version and the creative cloud non-perpetual version. Can I utilize the Steam perpetual version for business/commercial use? Are there any limits to the perpetual license? (Amount of seats?, Earnings?) A link to the Steam version EULA would be great! As I cant seem to find it... Thank you in advance!Best wishes!

What it says on the tin, really.When I use 3D Worley Noise, 3D Voronoi, and 3D Voronoi Fractal, the resulting export has nasty seams every time. Theory goes that all of the 3D noise will cause horrid seams.I feel like I'm doing something wrong to cause this.Included is how things look in Substance Painter, what the export to Unity looks like, and my export settings.Please get back to me on a solution as soon as possible.If it helps, I'm on the latest Substance Painter and AMD drivers as of writing [Dec. 2025].This situation has been diving me mad, as it makes no logical sense, and I wanna put my computer out the window in frustration.Thank you for reading.

Hello! This is my first post on this forum, so apologies if I'm posting it in the wrong place or in the wrong way.So I'm following a tutorial where I'm creating a skin material, and I've gotten to the section where I'm painting darker spots where the pores are. In this tutorial a generator on a black mask is being used. But for some reason, when I select curvature from the generator, the result looks completely different from my curvature map I baked. Why is this? Baked curvature map: Result:  

I'm using the Steam buy-once version of Substance 3D Painter 2023, but suddenly a mysterious update pushed itself out, upgrading my current project to 10.1 and rendering it unusable—even though I never subscribed to the latest version.When I try to open the project, it says “Version mismatch” or “No license available,” so I can't access it. Thanks to this, my work data vanished. What the hell is going on here?

Hello, I am new to Substance Painter and I am trying to texture a sword. I noticed before exporting that the texture was incorrectly coloured, I thought nothing of it - possibly that it was a lighting issue. After exporting I realized that it was still the wrong colours. I searched online for hours to attempt to find fixes but nothing has helpful so far.

Eeverytime 3D Sunstance is loaded in, I receive the messsage below. I am unsure on what direction to take with this issue as it does not state anything visual in the report desription.This message shows up on every startup and does not allow the program to go any further, it loads and just before you can click on, or access anything inside the program, I am greeted by this message.Guidance and help is neededd as i just paid $200 for a progaram i can't even use.   

The app launches but then when it starts to initialize , my guess is that it is crashing aon a missing file or wrong directory .Again the app worked fine a few months agoI have attached the log file

i mainly do stylized art and upgraded to the new subscription and lo and behold, the new baked lighting filter is so butchered? not in quality but the features. It now doesnt take the underlaying materials into account anymore and previously we had the choice of sun+sky+2 additional lights. If anything, more lights and adding specular occlusion would ve been good enough so im not sure who at adobe decided to remove those things. Please dont let people do creative decisions who barely are creative themselves. Senseless change. Stop removing things from stuff, urghhh

Anybody know how to fix extremly low res of the preview stencil when using projection brush/tool ?It wasnt like this in older versions Here a random example, the text becomes almost illegible, and it gets worse the higher  the resolution of the projection, sometimes turning into just blocks of color. 

Hopefully simple problem?Trying to custom export.Red channel - ID map (from game)Blue channel - Ambient OcclusionGreen channel - BlackAlpha channel - Black I have tried multiple texture settings using the user channels.The RGB export correctly as intended, however...No matter what I try, the alpha channel still exports as white channel or no alpha at all.I have tried setting the alpha:  as User01, gray and A channelWhat is the solution? besides having to rebuild and fix in a 3rd party program?

i wanted to know if its possible in anyway to anchor or parent a spline path in order to use the same path to genorate 2 seporate masks that are both afected by the same base spline.   i would like to prefece not the mask genorated by the origional spline but the actual spline data to then spawn stuff on 

Hello. Maybe someone can help. How to run the script using a hotkey, let's say ctrl+H or H.I'm completely zero in programming, but I managed (via GPT) to get a python script:import substance_painter as sp#Get the active layer stack and selected layersstack = sp.textureset.get_active_stack()layers = sp.layerstack.get_selected_nodes(stack) # list of selected Layer objectsif layers:layer = layers[0]# Toggle visibility: get current state and set the oppositecurrent_vis = layer.is_visible()layer.set_visible(not current_vis)          The script is triggered, but how to assign a hotkey on it? Thanks!                                                 

Hi - so I bought Substance painter 2 in 2016, I want to use it but the product seems migrated to be owned by Adobe these days.This webpage here :https://substance3d.adobe.com/faq-end-of-life-accounts/... it mentions contacting adobe support for help - but it doesnt say who precisely to contact, so I ended up here in this forum.Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks!

Can't paint on one of my materials.  My material has two objects, a table and a chair. However i can paint on the chair but not on the table. Why?! I'm desperate and noob

In the latest version 11.1.1, when using "Use Low Poly Mesh as High Poly Mesh" for texture bakingThe Self Occlusion selection failed in Ambient Occlusion/Curvature/Thickness The behavior of "Only Same Mesh Name" is identical to that of "Always". The attached image shows the AO baking maps in different Version.    

Hey, Since i updated to the newest version (11.1.1) this has been happeningWhen just opening the project, the textures wont load, making the object totally white. The textures will only load up at their full res when disabling a layer, but once i move the camera they will go back to being blurry. This didn't happen before the update.

My texture looks flat as if there's no normal map, but looks great in Substance ..side by side view in attached.  Any suggestions?
