Substance 3D Painter

I’ve been learning and using substance painter for portfolio work for the last 3 years now. I’ve now gotten to the point where I can potentially sell my assets (mesh+textures) to clients. Currently I have a student license which does not allow me to sell my assets commercially. I must upgrade to a commercial license to do so. Now my question is - Will re-exporting my textures from my existing projects (that were made with a student license) in substance painter with my new commercial license allow me to sell those textures commercially or do I need to alter them to make them legal?

Hello guys 🙂 I’m hitting this error in my Substance Painter Python exporter: ValueError: For exportList item #0, the preset "resource://starter_assets/glTF PBR Metal Roughness" is undefined I am using Everything (voidtools) to try and locate it, but I can’t find that preset on disk anywhere, I am assuming it is embedded. Do you guys know where it's coming from? Any other preset from the starter-assets folder work fine. How can I access the glTF ones?  Any help would be appreciated, thanks 🙂

Hi there! I have faced an issue with locating glTF PBR Metal Roughness export preset. I want to write  plugin using it so it would be helpful to know the ResourceID of this preset. Any piece of advice will be helpful. Thanks!

In Substance 3D Painter, when painting on the mask of a fill layer, the brush always displays "No Material". This happens with all brushes, and restarting the software doesn’t fix it. What’s the problem? This didn’t occur in older versions; it only started happening after I updated to the latest version 11.1.2.

Hi everyone!I created a simple, slightly conical circular band model in Blender (image 1). After UV unwrapping (image 2), I then exported the high- and low-poly models in FBX format.In Substance Painter, after baking, I get noticeable jagged edges on the model (image 3).For baking, I set the antialiasing to Supersampling 16x, and the output size on 4096x4096.After baking, there are jagged edges (image 3).Why does this happen and how can I fix them?Thanks so much!123 

Hi all,  I am getting the following error over the last couple of weeks and I have no idea what the issue is.  “Critical error can't build edition context. Invalid edition target”This pops up on different models and models that have worked with no issues before. I have updated to the latest edition but it hasn’t fixed the issue. The error pops up randomly when I am working on a model and I can pin point it to anything one thing that I am doing.  Any help would be amazing as this is preventing me from completing work. 

i am getting this error message [Resources List Model] Icons memory budget set to 1OOMB.[Plugin - resources-updater) No project open, resources updater discarded[Scene 3D] Unable to open file "(Scene 3D] Failed to load 3D scene.unable to open file 

im pretty sure its not a brush or alpha or whaterver... perhaps a smart mask? not sure. i have provided a screenshot of what im talking about below.  

Hey! Had to leave the PC for a bit. Saved the project, exited Substance and turned off the PC.Cameback and I can't open the project? Getting errors:[Scene 3D] Unable to open file "".[Scene 3D] Failed to load 3D scene.Unable to open file "".Please tell me there is something I can do to fix this. This is literally 20 hours of work wasted if it’s corrupt beyond fixing. I have no idea how this even happens?

I'm a verified student and i'm paying for Adobe Creative Cloud, i would like to have access to adobe 3D Painter as it's free for student, but when i try they ask me to pay. How do i get access to it for free, as a registered student ? 

I get this error.[EngineBitmapLoad] Failed to decode bitmap.resource://project2/Curvature JaggedCliffFace_02_2_m?version=bac74d3620f356d68c754f6932800eed964f8da0.imageI get it with each of the UDIM tiles except the first one which is named Curvature JaggedCliffFace_02_1_m that one comes in normally. I saved the material as a smart material from layering manually getting what i wanted, then saved as a smart material so I could apply it to each tile. Maybe its something to do with the First UDIM? I made it into a line. from left to right.Thoughts? Using 11.1.0 Build 4950 so far.Something to note, the 1st UDIm looks also different than the other Tiles. not sure what is happening here. like its not applying something to it.

Hello, my world space normals are completely off when baking. I have no idea what might be causing this issue. I am currently using Maya to model and UVExporting as FBX file Here is what it looks like. 

Hello I created a material with substance designer that uses flow maps to rotate the instance tiles. In theory it works, I tested it with downloaded flow maps like this And the tiles turn as expected but as soon as I try to paint the flow map in SP it doesn’t work.My setup is to have the material on top with the anchor to a paint layer below where I use the green normal brush to paint the flow map. using this as a normal inputAs described here https://helpx.adobe.com/substance-3d-painter/painting/advanced-channel-painting/flow-map-painting.html . Even though I am following the tutorial to the letter the material doesn’t react as expected and that I think is because the resulting flow map reads more like this Where the color ranges don’t match the flow map values.Why is that? What I am doing wrong? Could it be my material set up incorrectly? 

I am attempting to projection paint or tile procedurals in the height channel to use as displacement in my dcc. Coming from Mari, I am used to setting a base colour of 0.5, otherwise 50% grey. In Painter, I have configured my height channel to 32f, and loaded a tiling image that is already set to a 0.5 mid value. However, when viewing the height channel in isolation, everything is black and white, and similar on export. How can I appropriately configure my height channel and painting so that it is representative of a 0.5 mid value? 

How is the Opacity effect in Painter consistent with that of Stager? The transparency adjustment in Painter is quite different from that in Stager.

I accidentally paint two diferents colors in the same layer in my texture painting, i need help to separate them, or at least remove one specific color from the layer,I would like some help; no tutorial or forum has helped me so far.

I just got the newest version of substance painter (9.1.1) and i'm having trouble with the screen recording option.I have a mac and it says that I have to allow substance painter access to the screen recording option. However, it just simply does not register. Which does not allow me to start the early baking process...I have restarted my computer, gave it access multime times, I have restarted the program multime times as well. But still the problem persists. Does anyone know how i could be able to fix this??

I’m trying to find the right workflow for my project. I have an ipad where theres several materials and im using vertex colors to add my materials but I just want one texture set. I’m working in Cinema4D. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Hi! I don't see anywhere which version is Substance Painter (checking latest, 11.0.2)  of pxr USD is using.Also, I'm unable to find any python modules, so I guess it is compiled without python support, probably because it doesn't seem to have use since usd scene manipulation would break a lot of things, but it would be handy to do queries inside our pipeline for example.

I am trying to make a GLGS shader for SP that looks Toon/Cel shaded and shows the diffuse textures but I can't make it work, I also downloaded a buch of shaders but they either don't work or are not what I am looking for.Does anybody has a link to a good Toon shader?

Hello, I've encountered a problem with the layer and layer mask display. In the previous version of Substance 3D Painter, the layer and layer mask display was a 2D unwrap. Now, the layer mask is displayed as a mask icon, meaning there's no mask preview, and the layer itself is displayed as a 3D sphere with a UV map applied. Could you tell me how to adjust this display? Here are examples of how it was before and how it's now.

Hello fellow creatives. I'm new to Substance Painter (like, very new) and have recently begun experimenting with texture baking models, which I typically create in Maya. The issue that I can't seem to overcome involves the high-to-low poly baking process in Substance Painter: the texture maps don't seem to be getting applied to my low poly model; no matter which settings I use, or solutions I've tried to implement upon watching YouTube tutorials, nothing seems to change my results. I'm at my wit's end and not sure what could be the problem beyond a possible issue with my PC specs? Would love to get some pointers on how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance!(I've included some screenshots of my models in Maya and Substance Painter [pre/post-bake])

Hello, I am new to Substance, I need to make approximately this wood texture. I know that I can manualy hand paint it but I but I would like it to be done automatically.

I have set the Height Map export to be .exr 16f (also tried 32f) in an output Template while the other output maps are set to either 8 bit or 16 bit  .png files. (see image) below:   However when I select this output template for a mesh, the "List of Exports lists all of the outputs as 8 bit .png files.  (I also checked the exported textures and they were all .png's)  So, either  I am doing something wrong or you are not allowed to mix output types for maps in SP?  I also checked the exported textures and they were all .png's   Any guidance would be appreciated.  My objective here is to get the best quality output for the height map as I want to use it in 3ds max with Arnold renderer as a displacement map.   I would like to keep color and roughness and the other maps as 8 bit as that works fine for them.

Hi, I'm having a problem with textures in the 3D view. When I add or paint them, they look fine, but when I move my object or rotate the lighting, the texture quality drops. I can disable and enable any channel, and it works, but when I rotate or change the lighting angle, the quality drops again. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
