Substance 3D Painter

For a "painterly" style project I am currently working on, I am manually painting the normal map in order to give a sort of Brushstrokes effect. A major difficulty with this strategy, however, is that it requires there to be only one base color with the material. This is due to the fact that if the base color and the normal map patterns do not match up, the painterly effect will no longer work properly. Is there any way I can hand paint the normal map and base color simultaneously so that these two textures might match up?Thank you!

Hi, its crazy that this program does not have a scenegraph or outliner. Lets say you have a car and you want to paint the inside of the wheel well. I want to be able to hide the wheel and tie geo when I do that so I can see what im doing. Why on earth cant you toggle the geo off in an outliner ?

  There’s just enough time before the end of the month to get into the Substance 3D Community Digest for September 2024. Let’s dive in. Substance News    Meet MAT 4 has begun!    The outstanding art toy texturing contest Meet MAT is back! The goal: use Substance 3D Painter to texture MAT, our adorable little shader-ball-headed mascot, in any way you like. Submissions have just opened, and entries are accepted until October 28 – which means that you could use the 30-day free trial period for the Substance apps  to create your artwork for this content, if you were so inclined.     Importantly, this time around the contest is being run by our friends over at The Rookies, and so this is a contest for 3D rookies only – entrants must have no more than one year of professional industry experience. So if you’re a 3D beginner, or perhaps a student just learning the ropes, this is an excellent chance to showcase your work. Carpe diem, as they say (or car

Hello Community,I'm interested in buying Substance Painter 3d from the platform Steam, but I have a few questions about the licensing, maybe someone of you can help me. 1. Does the current license for Substance Painter 3d permit unrestricted use for commercial projects?2. Are there any specific restrictions or conditions for using the software for commercial context compared to private use?3. Do I need to acquire a special license to use Substance Painter 3d in a commercial environment? Thank you in advance. 

Hello,I was removed from the Substance Painter Discord community for posting my LinkedIn article about an asset I sold on Sketchfab. The asset was made with Substance Painter and used by a modder from Nexus Mods. Link to the LinkedIn aericle https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/growing-importance-modding-gaming-industry-digital-fashion-koziel-7q0je/?trackingId=xjh00j3RnsnMALq4wv87nQ%3D%3DCan anyone explain why? My Discord handle is Bartholomewkoziel#3609.This is very frustrating for me, and it feels quite unfair.Thank You for your Support.

So- I am trying to transfer a texture to another version of the same mesh. The UV map is EXACTLY the same, no edits or anything, it is only the mesh's shape that has been changed... yet, no matter what I do- whether it's importing the other mesh version into the same Substance file, or trying to use a smartmaterial in a new file, the texture ends up completely warped and incorrect.I need a way to get the textures to match up TO THE UV, not the mesh, because the brush strokes no longer match the same way on the mesh because it has been edited... but since the UV is the same, the textures SHOULD be able to apply to the mesh just fine. Yet for some reason, it always seems to go off of the 3D object instead of the UV when applying the textures. How do I fix this??

  We’ve just released the latest version of Substance 3D Painter! New features in this version include:   Fill Area Filter: Create a closed shape – a circle, or a heart, or some weird, angular polygon; whatever you like – and the Fill Area Filter allows you to fill that shape with colors or gradients. The filter can fill multiple shapes, and will dynamically update with any changes to the original shape. This feature can be used with paths, shapes, and masks, and it’s possible to have different properties for the outline and the fill of the shape.   Import Image with Embroidery Filter: Add an image or text to your artwork, and the Embroidery Filter will display it as an embroidered patch. The properties of the patch can of course be modified in the filter’s parameters.   Import USD with Materials: You can now import USD files with associated texture and shader settings into Painter from another application; all associated textures and shader settings will be mainta

I just bought creative cloud for student for a asset creation class. The websight shows 3d abd Ar apps in what is included for the student cloud packege it is in fact not incuded there is a separate student plan for the 3d apps but it is not inclouded in Cloud and you need to apply for it. If I click on see what's included it does not show the 3d apps but I was 100% under the impresion that the 3d apps were inclouded becase it shows that they are. Why is this is there some reason that im missing. 

I use Substance Painter to generate a LOT of PBR materials for use in another program. I use the gltf PBR Metal Roughness output template for this. When I import the PBR materials into the target program they ALWAYS have the alpha mode set to BLEND. I edited the bin file and found text that says:"alphaMode": "BLEND", This causes all of the materials to appear incorrectly in the target program which needs alpha mode to be OPAQUE. So, I have to manually edit each PBR material, change the setting and save it. Small annoyance, but it happens ALL the time. Is there a way in Substance Painter to control what the alpha mode is on the output, to toggle it, or at least set it to OPAQUE?

Pretty much what the thing says. If I run Substance Painter in Windows 11, It loads the OBJ file with no issue. But if I use the exact same OBJ file on my MacBook Pro, running Sequoia and the literally most recent version of SP (installed today, in fact), it fails out, telling me that the OBJ file is too small. Why would the two versions deal with the file differently? I am using the exact same process to load it on the Mac as I do on Windows, so I would think it should also load. (New file, choose template and then the file, make sure I'm telling it OpenGL instead of DirectX - all the stuff that loads it successfully on Windows.) (I'm having a different issue with working on the Windows version, hence trying to get it working on the Mac.) Any ideas why the files loads in Windows but not on the Macintosh?

I curious how much the high_mesh maximum polygon count is in the SP baking feature ? Cant find any answer on webside .From some tut they say its about 10 million？Is that true?

My university says I can access substance painter on my personal device for free, but I am not sure how to access it using my university account

Hello all,                       I have a chance to get a superb condition Workstation using Dual Zeon  E5-2697A V4 16-Core cpu's  and a Quadro M6000 24 Gb  GPU. and 128 Gb of 2400 DDR 4 Ram.   It is a HP Z840. would this machine work well with Substance Painter ?  It is an older machine but works perfectly and is in superb condition.Cheers.
