Hi, I am an educator at a university and we have access to the entire Adobe suite via educational/student licenses. It looks like I cannot download from the Substance Assets Library. Is this intended? or is there some kind of permission issue
if i buy the Substance 3D Texturing monthly subscription will i get access to Substance 3D Assets (not community assets)? i already bought it on steam ( Substance Indie Monthly Subscription)but i don't have options to link account to here. should i refund there and buy here then so i get access to it? can someone please explain?
Hello, im rather new using adobe substance painter. However ive been using blender for a little while and ive made a model recently with UDIM tiles and applied my normals with them. However when applying my normals into adobe substance painter. It seems the normals go wayyy off, and im not rather sure how to fix this? In blender its perfectly fine with the normals perfectly aligned. The purple one being the example of the model within substance painter. And the red one being within blender. Thanks!
I tried all formats, sizes, bits, paddings
I haven't really been keeping track of what has been going on with the Adobe acquisition of Allegorithmic but today I was trying to log in to Substance Painter to do some work and I couldn't log in since the Allegorithmic account does not exist any more and I've since updated my computer hardware. Furthermore I can't find a way to download a license file for my old 2018/2019 something Painter license.I logged in to my creative cloud account but there are no licenses to be found there. So does this mean Adobe stole hundreds of dollars worth of licences from me or am I missing something?The "old" painter versions have been working fine for my use case and I've had no interest in updating just to get features I don't use.

Here is a tile generator that has been applied to a black mask. I have already used tri-planar projection. I have tried modifying every parameter, but it still didn’t work.SPP file
Why on opening Substance Painter do the shelf thumbnails all need to regenerated, indicated by the generating thumbnails message? Admittedly I have a lot of assets in my shelf, some of which are complex, but generating the complete set every time I open the application just adds unnecessary delays. As a comparison, when I open Lightroom I have the equivalent to 20,000 thumbnails (previews) instantly available they are not regenerated every time. I can fully understand the need to generate fresh thumbnails on new or modified assets, or even on all assets if the application has been updated or the 3D engine changed. However, surely the principle of a thumbnail cache should be that unchanged assets can use a previously generated thumbnail. So the idea is : To use previously generated thumbnails unless the asset is new, marked as modified, or the application has changed.Dave
Hello. I am using Substance Painter 11.0.2. I know it has an update, I haven't downloaded it yet because I don't want to waste my bandwidth downloading an update only to have to roll back to before 11.0.2. It seems the Substance Painter in Windows Mode is too big for my screen. I'm using a standard 1080p resolution screen on my laptop. How do I fix this?
Hello,I'm currently working on a project where we had to change the color management of Substance Painter several times, we started in legacy, then moved to ColorIO/ACES 1.2, and finally it's set to ColorIO/Substance.In our texturing process we need to validate our textures for our client with the PBR validate filter, but with each changes I noticed discrepencies and uneven results.A material that is perfectly fine in legacy, becomes totally red in ColorIO/ACES 1.2, and between ACES 1.2 and substance, there are some differences in the validation colors.In my understanding I was thinking that if it's valid in one mode, it should be valid in the others too, only the representation of the colors on screen should change depending on the chosen Color Mode. Is that correct ?Since the recents modes additions in color management mode, is the PBR validate filter is still suited or is it designed to function only in legacy ? Thanks for your help
for some reasons, just by importing a model to substance painter, odd shade marks appear on some parts of my model. You can see here, in the red circle, but also on the right of that same UV island. Yes, i checked for duplicate faces, flipped normals, non-manifold geometry, but i still couldnt find a fix
It gets stuck every time I click on the texture set section to adjust the resolution or look at other models, and all versions of 11 I tried with the same result. Who can save me?
came across this issue with substance painter when trying to apply a blur filter.Substance is blurring it per UV, what results in a very ugly result and basically makes the blur filter worthless.is there any workaround that?It looks that someone way back asked about it, in the time when it was not owned by Adobe, but the post has disappearedThanks for the help
Hello, I am using a metal edge wear generator mask inverted to add some edge wear to this turrets paint. However for some reason the edge wear generator is not applying to certain edges of my model. I have highlighted what I mean in the image below, checkmarks are where it is applying, x's are where it isnt but should be? It will even apply to one side of the turret but not the other, despite the fact that it is a completely symmetrical model. I have attached an image of the specific layer set up. I would appreciate any help! Not at all sure what is going on. I have baked my mesh maps, so maybe there's an issue there? But I'm not sure how to fix if that is the case. Thank you for any help.
HII'm compairing PBR specular workflow with PBR metallic workflow and specificly the roughness /glossiness.They supposed to be the opposite / negative of each other. But when I use for instance 'Metal Polished' from Asset, the glossiness is a light gray surface without any structure in PBR specular shader setting. In PBR metal shader setting the roughness channel is darker grey but with structure. So not the negative of each other. Can anyone explain please?thanksRené
I was trying to take a render of one of my model but the render looks like is over expose, this only happends while enabling subsurface scattering, someone know why is this happening? This wasn't happening on older substance version. Currently using (Adobe Substance 3D Painter 7.2.1)
I’d like a Resolution or Size token that reflects the export texture resolution (e.g., 2K, 4K) for use directly in Output Template file names. Right now, I have to add this manually or switch between different templates, a step I’d prefer to avoid in the middle of production. It would be especially useful when exporting batches of different resolutions without overwriting my existing texture maps.Cheers!
Hi all,Background:I create aviation safety videos and typically purchase helicopter models from Turbosquid, then rework them, mainly redoing textures in Blender with decals. I am still fairly new to Substance Painter, so please bare with me for any stupid questions that might be resolved with common workflows.Goals:Produce highly detailed, accurate aircraft models.Use textures (rivets, panel lines, etc.) to replicate fine details while maintaining accurate placement based on the real aircraft.Begin marketing my models on Turbosquid as more accurate, professional-grade options.Current workflow and challenges:Texture size: I have been using 8K or 4K textures, which generally works well, but rivets lose sharpness in close-up shots.The model I purchase usually have one texture map for external surfaces. However it starts to create issues when trying to focus on details like rivets and screws. To improve resolution, I have been splitting models into multiple UV maps (for example EXT_T
TLDR:Key is a solution that enables being able to move previously textured parts of a mesh in a modeling package to a different location and orientation, reimport into Painter, and have all the previous texture work transfer over.Currently the Preserve Stroke Positions on Mesh setting under project configuration applies the paint projections in the same 3D space as the original mesh was located. So one cannot move a mesh and keep the projected brush strokes. This is a major problem, as just the simple act moving a part of a mesh that has previously been textured, even if the UVs do not change, one loses all the paint work etc. This is a major workflow issue for certain things.It seems that the solution to this issue would be to compare meshes by name rather than position in 3D space. Then if Painter detects that in the newly imported mesh, models with name matches are translated to a new location or orientation, Painter should be able to get the offset values between the two meshe

I need the ability to copy and paste stack nodes through the Python API so I can support changing a shader from using one type of shader definition to another without losing data. Here are the main issues. 1. If you switch between different shaders, the layer stack is cleared.2. If you want to copy over the existing stack data, there is no Python commands for copying and pasting stack nodes.3. You could theoretically do it using the python Smart Material functionality. You can create a smart material from a group node, save it as a resource, and then add it as a new node after you have updated shaders. However to be able to save out the contents of an entire layer stack you'd need to be able to group all nodes on the stack into one group. I see no functionality to move existing layers into a new group node.
Hello everyone! I have three models: Cape, Torso and Arms, and Pants. When I bake them, the shadow from the Cape affects both 'Torso and Arms' and 'Pants.' I dont want that. I thought removing the Cape from the texture set list in the baking menu and rebaking , but that didnt help. How can I eliminate the Capes shadow? When i baking textures:Im so sorry for my english!

Hi,I recently upgraded to a new ASUS RTX 5090, and I’m experiencing an issue with Iray in the latest version of Substance Painter.All system and GPU drivers are fully up to date.When I set Iray to render only on the GPU (disabling CPU rendering), the viewport freezes and displays “Iray warm-up” in the bottom-right corner. The program doesn’t crash, but the rendering does not proceed — the image remains frozen indefinitely.If I re-enable CPU rendering, the frame immediately unfreezes and Iray starts rendering normally.I have tested this with both the latest Studio and Game Ready NVIDIA drivers — the issue remains the same.This problem did not occur with my previous GPUs (GTX 1070, RTX 3090, RTX 4090) — they all rendered fine using GPU-only mode in Iray.Could this be due to Iray not yet supporting the RTX 5090 architecture?Is there a workaround or upcoming update planned to support this GPU?Thank you in advance!
