Symmetry does not work when painting with stencils in the UV viewport?

Don't know if this is a bug or an oversight. I currently have X symmetry active. When I paint onto the UVS directly via the UV viewport, symmetry seems to work. However, if I attempt to paint with a stencil, the result is not mirrored.

Clarify Path vs Paint rendering orderOpen for Voting

Paths right now exist in some kind of vague order super position of being both on top of and behind brush strokes that as a user I don't understand what's going on. As a programmer I can make a guess but. Let me give a common example:I'm not sure of the shape I need, but I want to fill that area, flexibility to change my mind is key. So I use a path to define its outer edge. Now when I go to quickly paint the back fill area it turns out I've painted over top of the path, silly me I didn't notice in time to undo so I have to erase it, but I erase the path that I still wanted. There's nothing I can do, the path is gone. When I duplicate the path all of the painting changes gets duplicated with it. It's like there's some extra information stored into this path I can't interact with. But if I start drawing a new path, then copy the verts and copy the brush I get the path back in full form.From a user point of view the definition of the path is external to the painting commands and there's

Export texture - Substance to Blender

Hi, I am working with the material on an FBX model from Blender that I've imported into Substance Painter and added a material to. When I then export it back into Blender, it becomes distorted, like it's a material for a ball. How do I fix this? I´ve tried many things so desperateto know what I do wrong..

BaseColor Exports with Checkered Pattern?

Hey everyone,  I'm having a strange issue. My basecolor map is exporting with this strange checkered pattern, although it doesn't look like that in Painter at all.Here is the effect after exporting: What it looks like in Painter (simple Walnut wood texture): This happened after I exported in 8K textures. What could be the problem? I've tried different things, such as rebaking, re-exporting multiple times, and changing the quality setting in Shader Settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Substance Painter: Expected more values while reading <vcount> contents

I keep getting these errors when trying to upload my .dae files into substance painter. I have tried unchecking "Use UV tile workflow" and that did not help either.

Issue with glTF/glb Export

Hi Everyone, 1) Once I have completed the texturing process then I export the textures with glTF PBR Metal Roughness (output template). Thereafter I import the exported glb file in to blender, the mesh size is too big. Why it's happening? I need to export the same size as it is imported mesh size.2) Can I select or hide in mesh wise instead of material wise for texturing?Regards,Vasanth

crash broke my Substance 3D Painter file which was saved half an hour before the crashNot Prioritized

Hello, I have a terrible situation. Substance 3D Painter froze and crashed while I was working with it. I wasn't saving anything at the time and literally the file was saved half an hour ago, but somehow it got corrupted and now the file won't open. It's a complete failure... I have to hand in a project today and I was finalizing the final and now the file won't open. It's horrible. No program does this to a file that hasn't been saved for more than half an hour. And by the way, it's not the first time and I see the problem stretches back to the 2016 version. I'm angry because I won't get paid for my work. What should I do?

Option to export with displacement not available when exporting mesh

I would like to export a mesh with displacement but when I go to export mesh the option to export with displacement/tesselation is unavailable. I have included displacement in my channels and have enabled it in shader settings. Fwiw I'm on a mac

Unable to continue with student account verification

I just got myself this adobe account set up with the intent to verify myself as a student and use Substance painter, but the page to send the verification email simply isn't working. I tapped in the email for this account, and while it said that an email has been sent, I have recieved nothing, not even in any of the other folders of my inbox. I reloaded the page and tried again but it just told me that 'UniqueID already exist' below the input box. I've since tried to give it another email and it's been loading for 20 minutes now with no progress. And i fear if I reload again, that email will somehow become unusable too. Is there something I can do here? Are the servers just particularly busy or something?

8.3.1 BUG - [Scene 3D] Failed to load 3D scene. No suitable reader found for the file format of fileOpen for Voting

Reading from Substance painter files on a Google Drive mapped drive.After updating to version 8.3.1 from an earlier version, I can no longer open files saved on GD. I get the error: [Scene 3D] Failed to load 3D scene. No suitable reader found for the file format of file.It's inconsistent though, sometimes a file will load, sometimes only if I double click from the windows explorer window. The issue seems to be related to another bug report, regarding saving files to a NAS drive.  I've saved files to a mapped Google Drive for many years without issue, it appears to be some new lower level file action that Substance Painter is doing in this newer version, which is the issue. I can open the files if I copy them to a native drive. So I'm able to continue working, but don't have the added benefits of my previous routine. QUESTION: Will this issue be fixed in a future version?

Substance 3D Announcements from GDC 2024

  March 2024 has brought another edition of the Game Developers Conference, the premier event of the gaming industry. The Adobe Substance 3D team presented Substance Days at GDC, and we were once again delighted to be able to meet so many of our 3D community in person, in San Francisco. Big announcements during our keynote presentation this year included:   Substance Connector debuted at GDC this year. Take a photo of any surface; convert this photo to a modifiable 3D material in Substance 3D Sampler – and now, thanks to Substance Connector, send this material directly to Unreal Engine 5. Materials appear in UE5 in real time; they’ll load in your UE5 project, and can be modified there, right away.   Available for UE5 right now, it will also boost artist workflows incorporating Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, and Unity in the near future.   Wes McDermott discusses Substance 3D developments in our keynote presentation.    On this theme of connectivity, we also a

Strange Lines Appearing on Geometry

I recently created a mesh in Blender of a cuff bracelet and imported it into Substance Painter. The mesh looks fine and smooth in Blender, but inside Substance Painter, the mesh is broken up by a series of fine lines across its surface (please see screen shot.) These lines do not correspond to the edges of the geometry.  Does anyone have any idea what might cause this, and how to make the lines go away? My only guess is that it might have something to do with the subdivision settings in Blender, but I’m very new to the program so I don’t exactly know where to begin troubleshooting.  Any help solving this mystery would be greatly appreciated.

Milky colors issue

When I drop a texture  to Painter its ok  .    But when I drop sbsar having  color image input  or just color input it's always milky colors.       Like if  Painter does extra   gamma correction ignoring  the input is sRGB .     I recall there were  small button before   next to each input  where  you could set  if it's srgb or non-color  or something like that.    It was simple  and easy like in Blender. Now I couldn't understand a thing. Could somebody explain  it please .   What current  rules are ?     I use default legacy color managment since I work for games.
