Substance 3D Painter

Hi I have a basic white square on a layer, and no matter which overlay mode i use (on Base color)  the square just stays white and doesnt seem to blend with the layers beneath it (namely, overlay or softlight - as would happen in photoshop).  Am i doing something wrong or does painter not work like this? thanks for your help!Nick **EDIT** oh! so it seems if i put that layer in a folder and mark the folder as overlay it works!  Is that how it should work? Seems a little odd

I am very new to UV unwrapping and Substance Painter and I am sure I am doing something wrong.  I have a basic model in C4D.  I unwrap the model in C4D and test it in C4D Paint after unwrapping and the paint works.  I then export as .fbx so I can import into Painter.  When I do this the geometry is incorrect and so is the UV map.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,Was wondering if anyone know's if it is possible with substance painter, or know of any other solutions, to go about baking AO from and onto objects with transparent textures.I came across this video by Outgang on youtube, who examined the character model Cloud from the Final Fantasy VII Remake game. With the hair they appear to use multiple UV sets, one with the texture and one where they have made each hair plane it's on UV shell so each hair plane could have it's on AO.Link to video (Hair texture topic at 25:21):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8SjXHQ8ASYAnyone know if substance painter can do this? or any other software that can?

Hello, my brush is lagging after changing the color from the brush menu. I thought my file is too big so I tested with a brand new one (texture set to 2048x2048).  I'm using a Wacom Tablet. The lag is present while using the mouse too, but not that obvious. Windows 11, latest version of Painter.(Driver up to date for the tablet)I saw many others that have this same issue, I wonder if there's a fix to this.Thanks.  

how can I export t the existing model to use only a single mesh/material for the blender because when I try to import it into the blender it imports with all face mesh it does not correctly size to larger my building model in the blender i want to import a single mesh as a material only.

Hi, I would like to ask whether it affects performance or memory if somebody paints on differents layers with one channel turned on (one for color, one for roughness etc.) instead of using all channels of one layer. 

[EngineBitmapLoad] Failed to decode bitmap.resource://project8/Ambient Occlusion Map from Mesh Std_Skin_Body?version=5da1255d6743ce6363aed3a852ff16a5b7a4c518.imageI am getting the following error on every UV Tile group except the first one. I see other people have had similar error but I dont know if its the same problem. I cannot fix this by renaming, mostly because I cant find this temp resource in any of the folders like  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp.The FBX file used is exported from Character Creator 4 to Blender and then to Substance P.  I am baking all maps using Substance P baker even though CC4 has maps. So the AO map that is failing to decode here is a Substance P generated map.  It is being used in a fill layer. So in that regard, as well as being UDMI setup with tiling (not legacy) it is simliar to other cases. But deleting cache folders did nothing. Renaming the texture sets to end in _001 etc, also does nothing. The normal map format is Open

Hello!I am using a custom shader as part of a pipeline and it generates this error, failing to render:error C1503: [Shader Helpers] .... error C1503: undefined variable "environment_rotation"  I saw one related post that suggests 'environment rotation' variable has been replaced by 'environment_matrix', substituting each instance  then generates a new error:[Shader Helpers] 5(368) : error C7623: implicit narrowing of type from "vec3" to "float"I assume this is because the newer environment matrix is a different data type, but some guidance on how to update the .glsl file to work properly would be helpful. I did try one fix that allows the shader to render, replacing 'environment_rotation' with 'uniform_environment_rotation', but I am not sure if this matches the previous shader exactly.   Any tips?Thanks!

Can i use fonts from substance painter for commercial?

Hi, when I use Bake Mesh I get gray spots on the model, the mesh is fine, the UV is well placed (I think) and the faces are facing the right way. Some objects have "IG", they just don't have the HP version. However, the problem occurs both on models with and without the HP version. HP are hair, body, face and shirtEverything else is "IG" without HP version       

i`d like to hide certain parameters in my filter that i made in substance designer when the different tabs are disabled. Is this possible?I know that there is the  Visible If function but i don`t know if there are build in variables that can access this data or not?

I dunno if it's possible but I want to ask you if it's a way to create common smart materials that when I change them properties those change on all the files where they are used (maybe when clear them and create new). It would be fantastic...

As title, I would like to export OpenGL normal maps without having to change it through project settings, so painter stays in directx but exports as OpenGL. I tried playing around with custom export settings but it didn't work. Is this possible?

I have Substance 3D Painter installed on my home PC, licensed through my employer. Today, I saw that the license had expired.  I tried to update it via the activation wizard but that doesn't work, returning a status 410 error. After researching what that meant, I found it was because the files no longer exist on the server. I assumed this was because it was trying to connect to substance3d.com, but that shouldn't be the case because this is a direct download from the Adobe Creative Cloud. Why is Adobe still hosting Substance tools linking to Substance3D.com if they stopped servicing that platform last year?   Anyway, no matter which option I try, I get the same status 410 error. After looking into this further, I finally found the page where I can send in for verification.I didn't need to create an account since I already had one, so I moved on to step 2 as instructed. I filled out my email and Country/Region and clicked the Submit button. The ba

My light was turned off and the PC turned off, after that I can’t start my project, although I saved the project before the light turned off. What should I do? Can I pull the layers out of this broken file? Or something else? Or somehow run? Error: cannot load this project is invalid binary data

Hello everyone! I have some problems with color managment in photoshop after exporting layers from Substance Painter. The trouble is the pluggin export layers in custom color space, but I need sRGB color space in my prjects, and I can't convert space without changing any colors. Save original colors is important for me. Is there any ways to export layers in sRGB or convert space in Photoshop without color changing?

Hey guys,I'm kinda lost on what to do at this point and not sure what to even try. I want to use this wood texture, for the seat of the bench model I made, but I can't figure out why it's exporting this way and it's just unusable like this in blender.  I hope you can see the problem with these two screenshots.  I really need your help everyone, thanks in advance. 

So this might just be something that is baking 101 or something you wanted to do but I appreciate if i could get direct feedback to make sure i'm on the same page so it help to keep it  simple to build it up.  So i got these two cube. One that is just normal cube as shown here.We can see how it shade smooth and how many tris it has.  Now i have a this cube with a small push that I like to bake on to the first cube. Here is the high poly one and it tri numbernow when i go to bake it, here is how it turns out in substance painter with the normal picture.Now it doesn't turn out to have the detail of making the push in my high poly one be shown in my low poly one. Is the reason this doesn't happen is because when you are baking something, the high poly should have extra tri to it as in give it extra subdivision and bevel so it help it show more detail for it to be baked on to a model.  Trying to understand baking and it helps if i can understand simple on a cube as othe

안녕하세요, 출력 템플릿을 2D 뷰로 설정하고 텍스처를 내보내면 불투명도 소재가 표현되지 않습니다. 알파 블렌딩 쉐이더를 적용했는데 3D 뷰포트에서는 투명하게 보였지만 텍스처를 내보낼 때 투명해야 하는 영역이 불투명합니다. 답을 아시는 분들은 제발 도와주세요.

Hi everyone, this is the first time it happens to me after nearly 550 hours using Substance Painter. I think the images attached can explain better than i could. Is this some sort of bug or might this happen due to my bad topology on that floor?Can you help me fix it? Cause i fear it's gonna appear on the textures as well after exporting them.
