Substance 3D Painter

How come the Curvature generator, using a seamless curvature map (out of Marmoset), creates visible UV Seams with no way of fixing this? 

updated my drivers to the latest and tested it in two different computers. the maxfrontal distance cage preview does not update in realtime when dragging the slider. you have to hover over the viewport before it updates

I have finally saved up enough money to purchase a perpetual license for Adobe Substance Painter but because we are halfway through the year i want to wait for 2027 to buy it to get more updates out of my purchase. Will 2027 follow the same model? Thanks

 I want to use the Zbrush to Painter bridge plugin but the Substance 3D painter plugin folder is blank. I have updated all apps and maxon on my end but the folder is still always blank and the Zbrush send to painter button just opens Painter and does nothing. What do I need to do to get the bridge plugin working from Zbrush to Substance painter?

This started happening randomly yesterday on projects i had just worked on. Everything else works but it just crashes after reimport, when seeing the log it shows that it was imported succesfully then it crashes. The log shows no useful info about the crash. If i import the mesh again and again with the same material it works but if i reimport the mesh with another material it crashes. This happens on every project.

Hi,I textured the model, which I created with 3 different material IDs and a single UV map, in the substance painter program. When exporting, I want to combine these texture sets into a single UV map. Substance painter creates 3 separate texture files even though 3 different texture sets are included in the same uv map. Isn't it possible to create the texture of this object in a single texture set? Having 3 different textures causes the file size of the project to increase, I want to avoid this.thank you!

After updating Substance Painter from version 12.0.3 to 12.1.0, all anchor points connected to material channels no longer return the correct anchor mask. Instead, they produce a completely black mask, even though the anchor levels indicate that the values are within the expected range and are not actually black.This issue did not occur in version 12.0.3 and appears to have been introduced with the update to 12.1.0.Expected anchor mask:Expected anchorReturned anchor in material color channel:Returned anchorAnchor values in material color channel:Anchor valuesAnchor values in mask:Anchor values 

This is the First time I am exporting textures but after i export it ive been having this right here For some reason i cant find the problem i added opacity channel on the the texture set settings and nothing is working is i check to see if there is something wrong with the input but i dont know what im looking for here is the configuration i tried to use the opacity one but it still doesnt work Tf2 paint i use 

Hello, I’m new to Substance Painter and I wanna use this color texture for the base of this mesh. Is there a way to randomize it and make it seem organic?  

i want to learn adobe but none of get in free, most are paid and if free, there quality of video or teaching is not good, basically for beginners, so i want to find best course that i learn advance adobe uses. 

When attempting to use Dropper Color Picker to select a color on my screen or on my scene on Ubuntu26.04 LTS with Wayland Compositor and KDE Plasma 6 Desktop color dropper tool bugs out creating a black layer on the entire screen breaking functionality of the tool. I do not have X11 support outside of XWayland and am unable to utilize an X11 session to work in substance due to both my Distro Version and Desktop Enviornment. 

Right now a  common workflow  of mine is to create a masked fill layer to display a certain visual like let’s say green slime across the entire suit of a ghostbuster.Once I set up the layer properties I define my mask by using generators, paint, and most importantly fills, because I can reposition or scale them later.In order to add a fill effect to my mask I drag it from the shelf onto the model, so I get a good starting point for the position. At the moment the only way I understand how to do this is to drag an alpha to the model, choose “Mask” from the pop up menu. This creates a new layer with the mask I actually want to be a part of the mask I was currently working on. So I need to scroll to the top of the layer stack, select the new mask, copy the effect, delete the new layer, scroll back down, select the mask I was working on and paste the effect.This procedure is most painful the first time around after which I will usually duplicate existing mask effects as a starting point.Bu

I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically reload textures?Our pipeline uses Marmoset Toolbag for baking and Substance Painter for painting.While Toolbag automatically updates and reloads everything you overwrite externally (which is really more helpful than you can give it credit for) unfortunately Painter does not.So after rebaking the textures I'll have to manually find all of them in the textures shelf and select "reload texture". Then, after repeating this for all 5 or so textures I'll still have to re assign them to their dedicated slots (as in: the AO map goes to the AO slot, the curvature map goes to the curvature slot... etc)Or I can open the ressource updater, hit "update all" and close it again.This workflow feels very cumbersome, not what I expected from a modern software like this. Am I missing something?

I am trying to log into Adobe Substance Painter with my google account, but it keeps telling me that the browser is not secure. I don’t know what to do. 

Unable to compute normals because some triangles were to small on high poly part I'm trying to bake my high poly from zbrush on to my low poly but these errors keep showing up and I'm not really sure why, some advice would be great. Never encountered them and my mesh from maya has no errors or ngons it seems.   

When I set the Balance and Contrast value to 1 for any grayscale mask, a slight gradient forms at the edges of the mask, creating gray pixels on the metallic map. How can I avoid this?For example, for optimization purposes in some projects, the Metallic map should be made two-toned—either pure white (RGB 255,255,255) or pure black (RGB 0,0,0)—and no gray shades are allowed on the metallic texture.Regarding the example in the screenshot ^These are 9 rectangular polygons. in the UV map, they all overlap into a single one. I couldn't find anything in the Substance Painter settings, and various Google searches didn't turn up any answers.Are there any scripts or plugins that can remove this gradient?

Hello,I own a Steam perpetual license for Substance 3D Painter.I am employed by a company and I would be the only user of the software.I would like to use Substance 3D Painter on a company PC to create commercial assets for my employer.The license would not be shared with any other employee or user.Would this be permitted under the current Steam perpetual license terms?Thank you.

I’ve never used it before so perhaps I’m using it wrong, but when I put the Dripping Rust Generator ( not filter )  on a mask, changing the Drips intensity just gives these thin horizontal lines. Not drips. Can anyone confirm this?I’ve updated drivers, updated Painter, updated all outdated resources in the file.. Thanks. 

8K export re-evaluates live generator-driven height incorrectly, contaminating exported normal maps. 4K export is clean, painted height is clean, and rasterizing the generator at 4K before exporting 8K produces clean normal maps.
