I am new to substance designer but one of the things I've notice is is lack lateral integration with illustrator and photoshop. Specially the pen tool and masking features. I come from the 2D apparel graphic design world and trying to integrate 3D design into my work. I think it would be a great idea to either make the workflow from Pt to Ps and Ai easier or bring some of the power of those tools to Pt. I think the having a true pen tool like Ai and Ps would speed up my work faster in Pt. Also the having the ability to draw with pen tool on iv maps and seeing the updates in real time on the 3d viewport. Also if there was a way to texture the imported svg vector would be nice too. I've tried googling and YouTube to find the answers what I'm asking for and they don't directly exist. All of these apps should work hand and hand so much so that the workflow is seamless.
hi everyone, have a strange issue with normals in substance painter, it is like the normal colors are working differently in each uv piece, this is really causing me trouble and don't know how to deal with it, it of course shows everything fine when viewed in material mode in substance, but again works bad when exported to other apps, any thoughts on this? would be very grateful for any help
I've been having a recent issue with my substance painter (2022 steam edition) it has started to just not bake properly, I have checked uvs, uv sets, udim settings and everything else, I sent the fbx to two other people and they baked it just fine without issue. i have tried clearing cache, reinstalling, completely wiping all associated files from my PC and doing a clean install and tried changing from 8.3 to 8.2 with zero change.
I'm using 3D Painter 2022 (Steam / Windows). When trying to export the project mesh (I need it because I used the auto-unwrap feature), the app freezes and closes as soon as it opens the explorer window to choose the export location.I used this feature before without any problems, so maybe something in the latest updates?
Hi, I'm experiencing an issue that occurs with every Adobe product I use. When I turn off my monitor and then maximize Painter, Designer, or Sampler, the viewport gets shrunk and doesn't return to full window mode. I have to exit the application and open it again to resolve this issue. It has been happening for ages.
Hello, I've been trying to bake mesh maps on my low poly model but I've come across an issue. Since I'm not using any high poly mesh, I'm baking the mesh maps by using the low poly model itself. However, on some surface, baking creates a transparent patch on the normal map every time I try. I've made the max frontal distance and max rear distance very small numbers like 0.001, and it didn't work. I can't find any issue on the uv map organization either. Any kind of help or suggestion is appreciated!
There are probably methods around this problem, but I would love it if substance painter is able to have more granularity for rotation values when projecting masks. Meaning. instead of 90 degree intervals, create a slider which the user can specify exactly the rotation degree they want. I do like the pullout menu for convenience though, so I would not remove that. I would even add 45 degree intervals which would help with the above issues. The tiling and other parameters of course would have to work with these non-aligned to axis rotations. Thank you and keep up the good work, -Mike
help pls
Hi there. I have for my PBR Textureset for each channel as Fill Layer and applied my textures to it.But alway when i export my maps after adjusting it in painter, my height map data ist added to my normal map.i dont want that. I want to keep all texture channels seperated.i changed the normal mixing mode to replace that it s still baked into my normal map:Where can i disable this? thxs for helpingguido
In Substance Painter, you can change the intensity of the normal maps of some basic materials. (first picture) How can I do the same with a custom normal map in my personal material?In my case I need to reduce the intensity of the normal map.
I love the paint-along path tool, it's amazing, But I have one gripe. I have a library of paint tools that I would like to use on a path, but as far as I can tell, that isn't doable. Paint tool presets only apply to paint and path presets are separate, so in order to use existing brushes I'd need to redefine all of their parameters again manually and set it up as a path preset, which means I'll have doubles of tools in my library, and there's no clear way to even differentiate between a path tool and a paint tool in the list.Seeing as how the only difference is two extra parameters in the path presets, I was wondering - wouldn't it make sense to merge them so that presets can be used for both?If there's some underlying issue that makes this impossible, the next best thing would be a way to allow dragging a brush preset into the path tool panel to apply the brush settings, similar to how you can drag materials into the material mode slot.
i got substance painter a while ago and i go to texture my model and i see visible seams.i have tried tri planar, clone stamp tool, increasing shader quality and nothing works. and coming here is my only hope, to give some context i use blender 3.4 and substance painter 9.1, my model does have weird topology with some areas being more dense and some just have n gons while the rest are quads. and i used zbrush for retopology because i couldn't find any other software to do it just as well, feel free to reach out and ask for more details.
Hi Everyone,For texturing purpose, should I need to apply the modifiers before exporting FBX from blender to SB Painter. And what other setting should I keep while exporting FBX? Thanks,Vasanth
Idk why it's so dark
When sharing projects with other artists, it can be useful to leave notes/comments on layers (or else). This feature would be especially useful for teams, but also for complex projects or tutorials.

Currently, the displacement’s value is a slider from -0.5 to 0.5. We could change this current behavior for values like Substance Designer with a Physical size units. Having similar values as other 3D apps will help having a more consistent visual between apps. This thread has been created in regards to a future QOL (Quality Of Life) release.

Details are still to be discussed, but we often need to have a similar parameter (tiling, rotation, etc.) between multiples fill layers. How convenient would it be to copy and paste a parameter?

Currently, there’s a choice of 7 colors to tag a Layer in Substance Painter. With this QOL update, we would let artists make their own color instead of choosing between the current ones.

Hello, I'm quite new to Substance Painter, so please let me know if there are different settings I should use. I have modelled a packaging in Artios, and I exported the 3d into a DAE Collada file When starting a new file in Substance Painter I get the same messages and it won't open my model. [Scene 3D] Collada: file:ENDGAME.DAE - Expected attribute "name" for element <material>.[Scene 3D] Failed to load 3D scene. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
Hello everyoneI have an Msi brand laptop. When I enter Substance Painter, the screen occasionally flickers. I do not experience this problem in normal use or games on the computer, I only experience it with this program. I tried all kinds of ways but I couldn't solve it. Reset, Driver uninstall etc. What is the solution to this? I've included a video below.
