2 weeks ago, my substance painter 2024 (steam edition) was working as intended. however today (2 weeks later), I opened the program to start a new project and it kept crashing upon launch.I had already reinstalled substance 3x, restarted my pc countless of times, deleted my assets/ materials folder thinking that may have some sorta corrupted files in them. updated my GPU drivers, but in the end, doing all of that has not done anything to solve the issue.I do need to get this issue fixed ASAP as I depend on substance painter for my work.I can provide the logs file if needed as well. Thanks so much for your help in advance
Hi,I am very very new to Substance Painter, so I am probably missing something obvious but I'm totally stuck. After exporting my FBX from Blender, I followed this tutorial to bake all the maps I needed. When I finish baking, I have no controls for HSV, tiling, scale, height, etc. Usually there are some things I can tweak, but now it just shows all these maps and those weird L8 and L16F things . How can I get controls back? I want to add materials and change their scale & hue, and am hoping there's a simple way I can do this. Thanks so much.
it seems that when painting near the edge of a UV island in the 2D UV editor, it's affecting the adjacent area in the 3D space, even though they are not connected in the 2D UV space. Have you come across this before, and if so, do you have any suggestions or solutions to address this issue in Substance Painter?
I have a amd 7900 XT card and I realized in Substance Painter settings I can enable GPU Raytracing and Hardware support acceleration for sparse virtual texture. So I wonder what enable gpu raytracing is doing or is it working in amd gpus? Also when I bake my mesh maps does it use gpu or cpu ? Thanks.
Ive tried on Substance painter 2020 and 2021, and am trying on the most recent version... all of them have had the same issue, I prefer to have all my projects set to "UV Space Neighbor" in "texture set settings" as I don't like not having control over how textures blend between seams, Problem is... all my maps will export fine as if they are and hw they appear on screen... except for normal maps which seem to export out as if 3D Space neighbor was active instead which is honestly infuriating to me. It should export as it appears on screen like all the other maps do should it not? 3D Space neighbor UV Space Neighbor
Hi there, My team and I are running into an organizational issue with our smart-materials. Could there be an option to designate which folder the smart-material is saved? Thank you,Hannah
Hi everyone, our students can no longer access the Education License of 3D Substance Programs...When they try to make the request, they get the message: APO Codes not available for this Product Is it broken also for you? Education - Substance 3D (adobe.com)Please it is urgent! Thank you
Hey. I made a smart material to instantiate across texture set as a base for a character i have multiple variations of. The UV map is identically laid out of the base texture on all of these. When I instantiate across texture sets, I run into two issues. 1. I have some information that is only intended for some of the UV map, present on all of it.2. More importantly, i loose all color information. This is for even subsets of this texture. I can do it with other materials that already exist though, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.Any help is appreciated, thanks !
I don't understand what's happening with the UVs in Substance Painter since the last few updates... I am able to select UVs of other parts from the Texture Set List but unable to make them all appear at once in 2D view, why?This is how the UVs are in Maya.Also, I am getting baking issues with this model how do I fix this?
I am trying to export a 2D view. The top is in substance painter’s viewport but when I export the 2D view, I get the bottom picture. I want the 2d texture exactly like in the substance painter viewport (the top image) I’m a beginner and idk much, please explain, I heard you bake the lighting but I have 8 layers and I don’t know what layer to put the baked lighting environment filter on? I have no idea what to do The hat I'm uploading is going on a platform that only accepts 1 image texture and that is the 2D View, that is why I need help with the 2D view texture because I want it to look exactly like how it looks in the viewport of substance painter.
I tried to export all of the textures I have on substance painter and I get this? I'm so confused please help.
when im using black mask in fill leyer and im using polygon fill when i select leyer other leyers get selected too.
is it possible ? for example to color only cavities of a layer ?
Where can I see how Painter filters are made to make my own ?
When I drop a filter to my layer stack it creates a sort of invisiable fill layer with actual filter modifying evrything what's beneath . When I do it on my own fill layer with same path through blending it still override evrything . I want to create a material that color part modifyes whats " beneath" only while still adds height. is it possible somehow?
It would be nice to have the middle click button able to scroll down or up when we are over the menu pannel.3ds Max style (control pannel window)And also having "Tab" hotkey switching between values.
Since it's -1 to 1 in Painter should I do 32bit sbs and (X2) -1 in designer to get it work same way in Painter?
I'd like to make my own compare mask filter . How can I do layers bellow input in substance designer? is it possible at all or I just need to put layer wITH anchor? ps All I want is adding some blur slider to "bellow"
Due to always a bit of blurry pixel to pixel textures I have to work in double of my target resolution in Painter and then crop and downscale it with affinity photo thanks to its slice based auto export and Lanczos3 resample. But it gets really tiresom quickly. Is there a way to downscale at export in Painter itself ? I weirdly see only max axis dimention . Can it be specified by an exact size ? I hardly ever work on square shaped textures.
I am accustomed to have height saved to color image alpha of png files. Comes from photogrammetry editing process that way. The height is never lost . Now I want to make sbsar that would feed that image to Painter with a switch that would treat alpha as regular alpha or sending it to height channel while using rgb as alpha. How should I name outputs in designer ? Specifically one being regular alpha . Does Painter have some specific rules for alpha naming?
When I mport a decal and want it to shift say 10 pixels in V or scale to be exactly 128x128 pixels ? Or if I my current texture is 512x4096 and material I use is 2k x 2k and I want it to be tile 2 times in V direction and be exactly a crop of 512 pixel of the left edge ? I did such nodes with pixel processor in Designer but once I export as sbsar they never works properly and my textures always gets extra blurry even if I work in twice of my target resolution. Because in Designer I have to use extra outside node to size calculations . Did anyone ever try to make pixel accurate transform for Painter?
When I create my normal maps I see there are 2. One is just a normal map and the other called a global normal. I can see the detail in the global normal, but the global normal only shows details in the centre and then fades to a blurred look.The Normal map just called 'Normal' is the same colour but with no details. Should this map show details?If so, why is it blank and how do I get the details into this map?
I have re-installed the software 3x, tried older versions, tried several nvidia drivers, changed the size and location of the local cache, tried several backup files and several models, uninstall onedrive, rarely works for half an hour afterwards, so impossible to work !! I have already contacted adobe support once, they rewrote my machine and still no change.
Hey! I recently purchased the substance 3D package.And in substance painter, the pen pressure doesn't work... I have Huion kamvas 24 pro I have the latest Huion drivers (15.5.1.390)I've set Windows ink on in the Huion drivers,changed all the Windows Windows Ink settings according to the documentation page and still it doesn't work. (I restarted the program, tried to disable and enable windows ink in the drivers, but still doesn't work)...I've attached the Log file to this post.Would appreciate some help! Thanks in advance guys!
To practice a bit with Substance Painter I'm redoing an interior of a aircraft from Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's an old aircraft so I use smartmasks a lot which is great fun. The thing is, on for example the panel with all gauges I've added a bit of dirt/scratches/roughness but on the same panel there are a lot of texts so a pilot knows what the buttons are.Those texts are a different texture and have their own UV-map but basically the dirt/scratches/roughness from the panel should continue over the texts to have a realistic feel.I tried to look for solutions if something like this was possible but so far I didn't find a solution. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction since I think this is pretty common practice with a lot of textures where texts are their own material/uv.Hope someone can kick this oldie in the right direction!
