Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a critical issue with Substance 3D Painter 2025 (Steam Edition) version 11.0.1.The software was working perfectly until yesterday, when I tried to open two projects at the same time. One of them was particularly heavy and failed to load. Since that moment, the application has stopped working entirely.After the splash screen with the dragon appears, the program immediately freezes and becomes unresponsive. I never reach the UI.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Fully uninstalled Substance Painter via SteamManually deleted all related folders:AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D PainterAppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D PainterDocuments\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D PainterReinstalled the application from scratchDespite this clean reinstall, the program still hangs on launch and does not recreate the log folders or any user data.System specs:CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950XGPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (Studio Driver 572.83)OS: Windows 11 ProAny suggestions or help would be great

Is there any way to open / migrate to an earlier version?

Hi,I am new to using substance painter and I have an issue where my obj that I have exported from clo 3d isn't loading in substance painter. I have made sure that my patterns peices don't overlap in the UV editor, not sure if there is another issue there. I was able to open the file in blender and also 3d stager but not 3d painter.My settings are attached below: I also need to have UV Tile settings checked for my workfor painter when I am importing the objon Clo 3d  

Im new to python and painter scripting so i may be simply overlooking something. I've gone through doc's and tutorials and from what I understand, i need to import the substance_painter module to interact with the application but python keeps telling me it cant find the module. I have an extra path to the painter module setup: /Applications/Adobe Substance 3D Painter/Adobe Substance 3D Painter.app/Contents/Resources/python/modules What am I missing? 

Good morning, I currently own an Nvidia RTX 5080 graphics card, but I'm experiencing a lot of problems with Adobe's Substance Painter. The program closes unexpectedly without displaying any error message, making it very difficult for me to work (I work in the video game industry). Previously, I had an RTX 3060 and an RTX 4090, and I never had any issues. I have the Game Ready drivers installed, but I've also tried the Studio drivers, and the problems persist. Everything is up to date. Can you help me? Thank you!

Where do I find the Shelf Window in Substance Painter version 7.2.1 to see the textures I imported from Character Creator along with the .Obj fileI look forward to it and thank you in advance

Im new to python scripting and im learning to create a plugin for Painter but I would like to run a plugin from a self contained subdirectory from within the Painter python plugin directory. I dont want to have a script file run from that plugin directory but rather my plugin subdirectory. Ex. Notpython/plugins/myPlugin.py Yespytho/plugins/myPlugin/myPlugin.py Is this possible?

Hello, we are in the process of founding an indie game studio. One of our artists has previously purchased a Substance 3D Painter License on Steam.Can they continue using that license for company work if they are a full time employee or is the company required to provide another Substance 3D Painter license?

so I'm new to substance painter and I don't exactly know to change the texture size in the texture setting, I want to change it from 1024x1024 to 1331x1024. is there a way to do it?

Hi,At our company, we recently purchased the new GMTKek EVO-X2 AI Mini PC, and overall, we’re extremely impressed with its performance. With 128GB of shared VRAM between the CPU and GPU, it's remarkably fast—even outperforming an RTX 4090 in certain cases, as entire files can fit entirely in VRAM. The 2TB of storage is also a great plus.However, we’ve encountered a recurring issue when working with heavy scenes. The software occasionally freezes in a strange way: the UI remains responsive, but both the viewport and the bottom progress bar become stuck and stop updating. This makes it difficult to continue working without restarting the software.Given the potential of this machine, especially with its massive shared VRAM, we’re really eager to make full use of it. Could your team please look into this issue?Thanks for your support!Best regards,Max

Hi, I put a triplanar in my generator to project the output of the work as a triplaner .. but the output of the work is in pixels.I searched the internet and saw some people saying that the position map should be 16-bit. So where do I change the bake settings in the substance painter software so that the output of this process is a 16-bit map?

I've made a material in Designer that I planned to use on a mesh in Painter. The texture looks great in Designer, and I've followed a tutorial from Adobe on exporting it as an SBAR to import into Painter for use. Unfortunately, when in Painter, the texture looks all wrong.  I've checked with some experts in other forums. The issue doesn't seem to be with Designer, but with Painter. Tried switching normals from DirectX to Open GL. The issue still persists. The issue keeps leading back to something with the ambient occlusion map of the texture, but we don't know what or how to fix it. Not sure if this is a user error thing or a bug. Other materials work fine. Any ideas? Below is how the material looks in Painter.Above is how the material looks in Designer. 

can i get some help with this. ive used my student email and its not working. I have checked my email and spam folder and nothing.

Hi Everyone, Substance noobie here. Looking for help with seams. Basically, I am struggling to get the clone stamp tool to behave as I think it should.  So this rock is divided into 2 sections. As you can see, we have a seam running right through the middle. When I clone-stamp it sort of works. From a distance, it does not look too bad. But up close and under certain high-contrast lighting conditions, the seam is still very apparent to me. My worry is when making assets that are intended to be large/walked upon, these seams would be noticeable as the player/user will potentially be in close proximity to (or standing directly on top of) them. I make stuff for second life, VR chat and so forth and people can be very fussy about visible seams because you can basically walk up to objects and face-hug them. So I try to get thigs as perfect as possible. Am I being too much of a perfectionist? Is this expected behaviour? I realize I am close enough to the object to li

Hi,I'm currently a stundent in 3D and I would like to get Substance Painter in order to texture objects for my exam project.I keep trying to make a request to get the form needed for the application of the education licence ( Education - Substance 3D ), but I'm not receiving any email.

  ‘Sup, y’all. We’ve recently posted a couple of articles looking into the ideas and processes of a couple of outstanding artists:   Creature artist Damien Guimoneau reflects on helping Substance 3D Painter grow: Damien has sculpted creatures for The Lion King (2019), Marvel’s Moon Knight, Alien: Covenant, and much, much more. Here, he discusses the dragon artwork he recently created for the Substance 3D Painter splash screen, and the importance of artists and developers working hand in hand.   The Way of the Workflow: Unreal Sensei’s Digital Dojo: Unreal Sensei, aka Zach Hunter, is a 3D educator with a focus on working in Unreal Engine. In this post he discusses his first steps in 3D, as well as his recent beginner-level tutorial focusing on texturing in Painter, and exporting textured assets to UE5.   And I’d be remiss if I didn’t take the opportunity to remind everybody that until May 31 2025, you can get access to Substance 3D Painter and Substance 3D Modeler f

Hi everyone,I’ve been trying to access the free Substance 3D licence as a university lecturer through Adobe’s education programme but I’ve been stuck in a complete loop of dead ends for over a week.Here’s what happened:I submitted the eligibility form using my institutional emailI got a “successful request” confirmation but never received a verification email or product codeI contacted Identit-e, who confirmed there is no record of my request and said I should contact AdobeSo I contacted Adobe.The support chat bounced me around bots and reps who couldn’t escalate itWhen I try to resubmit the form, I get:“UniqueID already exists” even though the original submission clearly failedI’ve tried every email I could find and most of them bounceThe live chat told me to just “try again in 24 hours” which of course doesn’t workAt this point, I can’t reapply, I can’t verify, and I can’t get support to reset or issue a product code manually. I'm stuck in a loop with no resolution.I’d be incred
