Substance 3D Painter

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: ");

I'm currently using Substance 3D Painter (9.1.1) on Windows 10 ProI get these colorful artifacts after export, but in the viewport everything is fine.  I've done some testing and found out that it is coming from a paint layer that has projected strokes (projection painting). This has been happening  more recently, and I'm curious as to how to fix this issue.Thanks.

On my laptop I can't import fbx files. I get this error: Unable to open file It says "Read only" as well. This is not the case on my PC. Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks!  

It seems like a pretty large oversight that you can't natively export multiple material layers as one texture set? I've found a way to do this with a third party software but it's kind of a hassle. Doesn't seem like this would be too difficult to implement this as a toggled feature in the export dock. 

I created some models in Maya, UV mapped it, added shaders to different models and then exported it as an fbx.Then I Opened it in Substance Painter (SP), baked the maps, did some painting etc.Then I exportet the maps in the format that I need.Now, here is my problem.The model has 1 UV map, but for each shader, SP create one material with its own UV map.It does not just add the materails for one model, on the area on the UV map, where that moel is placed, but instead it fills out the rest of the UV map for each shader.So I end up having to cut and paste it together in photoshop afterwards, to create one map for one shader, so I can use the ONE shader for the whole 3D model (in this case, a room).Am I missign some feature in SP? or is there no way to paint several models at once in SP, add diffrent materials to each model etc. and then have it spit it out one combined UV map?I have attached 2 images, the one is what substance spits out, the other is an exaple of what I would like to end

Hi, im using Adobe Substance 2022, and i came across this problem with painting :This the wireframe of the mesh :Can someone please help??

The issue is pretty simple. If your drive is full and you try to save your file it will instantly crash and corrupt the file. Substance painter is the only program I've ever seen have this issue. Would love to have a popup warning that space is full instead of just deleting my project. Even with autosaves I've lost progress from this issue before. v9.1.1 build 3077Windows 10

Hello, I was wondering when I have a layer ( paint/fill ) with a mask, and that mask contains several filters, how can I collapse/merge that mask? So the mask gets all the filters applied and go from there. Also when exporting the layers with masks to a psd the filters on the masks don't get applied. Or am I missing something?Regards. 

Hi -I'm trying to see if it's possible to export out diffuse and specular maps (16bit exr or tif) as linear, not as sRGB (gamma encoded). I don't see anyway to do this in the python api. I only have access to versions 7.3.0 and lower. Thankyou,

I am new to substance painter. I know to bake normals highpoly to lowpoly mesh like the following video. But I don't know how to bake other maps to lowpoly with different uv layout.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FILl_h2E2Q4I have a highpoly mesh with seperated parts and the textures are assigned to all. And I have a lowpoly mesh and all the mesh parts are joined in to one single mesh and single uv layout. How can I bake the highpoly maps like diffuse and other maps in to lowpoly in substance painter?Regards,Vasanth

Hi,could somebody have any idea what reason is behind this?I am getting these colorful artifacts (shapes) when exporting normal map using Blender preset in Substance Painter.I am texturing 1 (high-poly) model.

https://youtu.be/3kbOSpcaQU4?t=61 So here, i want can get the brick layout in the shape of the wood panels. But for the "Panel" part, i want to select any wood material or any material i want. Also I want to use a specific color for the "Mortar" between the panels. But whenever i use a new layer, it just colors everything the same. I cant make the mortar color any different.
