How do I get the layers in the substance painter API?
I have a suggestion or question about Substance Painter in 3D. Point light, spot light, and directional light should also be added to it. Is it possible that when we are baking textures for interiors or props, we can add Point lights in Substance Painter and bake their ambiance directly into the texture? If this can be done, it would be great. This is just a suggestion.
Hello all,i have just intsalled Substance Painter Version 9.1.1Applikation will not start, even not as Administrator.I am Running Windoes 10, with build shown below, on an older PC System Do you have an idea what may cause this error.Note : I am using Steam Version of Substance painter before i intsalled 12/22 or 01/23 I can't rememner what this version , build of Substance painter was that runs with my configurationThanks in advance
This could be considered a bug as well as a partial feature request: bug: When right-clicking to reload a texture which was updated externally, substance does not apply this re-imported texture on the model automatically, the user still has to drag and re-drop it onto a material slot to be applied. If one texture is applied across different materials, or if there are multiple textures that have been updated externally and applied either on one objects/materials, would increase this tedious and unecessary task even further of draggin them individually to their various mat slots. feature request: Ideally in a future release, any externally updated textures should be auto-detected and reloaded, not only as a resource in the project, but also updated on any applied objects/materials to see them in the viewport. Otherwise keep up the great work, -Mike
Hello community! Can we add a function to allow user to reorder the 'Saved Searches' ?Would be nice if we can custom text background color or add icon 🙂 Let me know your thoughts 💭
hi~guys:)in Substance 3D Painter,i bake a texture and size is 2048x1024(rectangle)but when i export texture,it is look likes locked,must be a square (2048x2048)how to change the export texture size,make it like a rectangle (2048x1024)i cant find the option :'(
Hi, I am trying to export transparent textures from SP but after the recent update they are no longer transparent. I do the same as I did before; metal-rough-with-alpha-blending, adding opacity channel. Export as 2D view and textures comes out solid as a rock. Can someone please help me out? It would be greatly appreciated 🙂
When I try to open a file or create a new file in Substance Painter, it gives a critical error and closes.My Laptop:Intel Core i7-7500u 2.70GHZAmd Radeon R7 M34012GBRamI was working about a work. I need a quick answer, please.
Hello guys, i have my model in ZBrush. But when im trying import to substance, i cant see part of my characters mini short. I try to unwrap again but not worked. And i have couple more problems. I use "noisemaker" in ZBrush for the surface of my gun holster and the leg belts but, i cant see the noise that i use. One last problem is i cant see my characters left eyebrow. Please can u guys help me? What should i do?
Whenever I try to switch my texture set to the set with more layers my Substance just completely freezes, or kills the tab and closes itself. However, when it decides to only freeze, my cursor still changes when pressing the camera movement keybind and when I hover over any item in the toolbar it shows the full description popup. When minimising the tab and opening it again it whites out the whole screen, and when trying to change the window size by dragging the corners of it, the interface will just cut or add white space in the enlarged area.I'm able to open the texture sets fine for the others, however one specific set with the bulk of layers and textures just causes the freeze / crash.I've tried reinstalling , moving the file to other locations (since it's been mentioned onedrive can cause issues before), I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. The software was running fine yesterday, then this suddenly started happening after i reopened the saved file to come back to it
when using the "smudge" tool in SP on a paint layer it reveals the color beneath that layer, in the screenshot, you can see the color of the "fill layer 1" is showing in layer 2 every time I use the smudge tool! it only happens when I use my pen tablet for painting, but it does not happen when I use the mouse! SP Stream edition 8.1.2 build 1782I hope my explanation is clear thanks!
Why when I tile a material this causes the quality to be decreased and blurred but in blender when I tile the material it still have the same quality is there is a way to make it work like in blender or any another solution?
In order to try and provide a more wysiwyg color pipeline for our artists, it would be great if we could inject our game's tonemapping\colorgrading as a shader rather than being forced to use the built-in ones. This would reduce artists back and forth tweaking and reexporting assets constantly
Hello Team Adobe / Substance Painter;I went 2 weeks trying to figure out why Straight Stitch wouldnt work in the new Substance 9.0 Path tool. I found out late last night that it is one of the few Stitches tools that do 'not' work in Path tool. So I would like to request a fix, a 'Idea' post for getting Straight Stitch functioning in Substance.Also, some things that it needs to function better for people that export their work into MS Games platforms where DX12 and OpenGL have differences, specifically in NORMAL maps.* How about making Straight Stitch to work with Normals as well as Height. Top Stitch works with Normals, but not Straight Stitch.* It would be nice if Height (and Normal) could be reversed into the Negative ranges, like -0.25, etc. Presently it is only from 0 to 1. It would be nice to have -1 to 0 to 1. * If it could be Normal 'also' (perhaps even done in pure Normal without Height, as that is usually what is needed in PBR's in MS G
Take a look at this 3D scan, and download if you like: 2023-09-05 Tree gate (Sketchfab) I shot it in RAW format, exposing for the highlights. After processing with Agisoft Metashape, the texture came out quite dark and flat. So I exported it as TIFF from Metashape and post processed it in ACR for export as JPEG. Finally, I checked how it looked when applied to the 3D geometry. It’s a tedious process, going back and forth. With Substance 3D Painter, could I adjust brightness and contrast directly on the 3D model? (With 3DF Zephyr, textures come out nice and vivid. However, I find I get better geometry with Metashape, and that’s more important.)
Hi, just firt time tried Substance painter, I finished texture my height detail on my mesh, but now I dont know how to turn it into a height map to export? And why I didnt see the height texture on bake window?Thank you!
I have a number of useful links to the old Substance 3D forums that are no longer working. Is there a way to still view this wealth of information? Are those old posts archived somewhere that we can still access?
Hello! I am nearly completely new to substance painter and I have a question about something occuring on the sort of outer texture of my model I am hoping to texture. These images are before and after baking my mesh map, and I am wondering why the model looks this way and it is affecting how textures look on my model. How can I fix it so that the textures go smoothly on and do not look like random segments are sewed together? Thank you!
Does anyone know how to set color management and shader via code for substance painter ,i have to change hundreds of projects ,its too tough
I am having an issue baking/exporting height detail. I wish to use my high res from zbrush to bake my details and then add more detail via substance materials and such and then export the result as a hieght data for displacement in maya. Baking high res to low res yeilds correct looking normal channels but the height channel looks like trash. It almost looks as if the resolution was set to 64x64 even though the bake is set for 2048. I wasn't going to worry about it since, if I remember correctly, substance combines the normal and height channels together for the height map export but that isn't working either. The following have items have failed to remedy the issue: I have tried turning it off and on again. Tried softening normals. hardening normals. Re-exporting all meshes. Starting new files. changing bake resolution. Changing bit depth. Making new meshes. changing projecting distances. I'm running out of ideas. Am I broken, or is substance?
Hello community!Just wondering can we extend the height of channel window since we actually have enough space for that.
Max Rear Distance - How to Visualize when baking?I was wondering, how to preview the Max Rear Distance in the 3D Viewport?I can't visualize and see the rear distance. What am I missing here?thx a bunch for any ideas!
hi guys:)i am a super beginer,(i have blender and Substance 3D Painter)and by youtube , i learned i can use blender to bake(create) a ID mapbut im thinkingon Substance 3D Painterif i can piant colors( RGB) on my objetcan i only use Substance 3D Painter to bake(create) a ID map?or if i want to create a ID map,Substance 3D Painter dosent have the function to bake a ID mapand i have to use Blender to create a ID map first?
Hello, I have a flat plane model with a seamless texture mapped to it. I'm wanting to add extra paint strokes that wrap around the UV - like the curve > wrap technique in ZBrush. Is it possible to do this in Substance Painter?
I am using Substance 3D Painter 9.0.0 on Windows 10. The template I am using to export the textures has several output maps, including one with ambient occlusion info (RGB "Mixed AO" - Grayscale). I want to export for each of my texture sets only the output map for ambient occlusion.The export in itself works well: the texture filepaths are listed in the console of the "Export textures" window (tab "List of exports"), no error is displayed in the "LOG" window, the textures are created on disk and look good. The problem is that I cannot access the export data programmatically right before the export!If I display the value of the variable "maps" in a Javascript plugin in function "onExportAboutToStart()", I get a dictionary with the texture set names as keys, but no value (we should get the texture filepaths as we get them in function "onExportFinished()")... PainterPlugin { onExportAboutToStart: function(maps) { alg.log.info("onExportAboutToStart: ");
