Substance 3D Painter

the issue is, whenever the program either: launches window into non-primary monitor, or is moved into second monitor and interacted with, program crashes.  to explain why this is an issue, substance painter is a painting program. Digital painting uses drawing tablets. MOST people using drawing tablets professionally use visual drawing tablets, which are monitors. to that end, they will also almost always be using a computer monitor as their primary, and the tablet as a second monitor, for various reasons. this is the most common setup in my experience.  I have tried all the troubleshooting I can, and I can't get the app to remain stable if my monitor is set as primary. However if I use my tablet as a primary display, the program works as expected, without crashing, so long as I never move the window onto my monitor, which is now configured as secondary.  some suggestions from the forum had me adjust my settings through Nvidia control panel, going to 3d set

Hi, I'm trying to bake textures from a high poly garment onto a low-poly one. Unfortunately, it is producting all sorts of artifacts--places that look too dark or light or just distorted. I noticed that almost all of this is happening on garment folds. However, my last picture shows a fairly flat piece that has a triangular area that's brighter than the rest of the garment. Tried adjusting my settings in the bake, but that doesn't seem to fix it. I was just baking normal maps. There's no diffuse here or anything. Has anyone dealt with this before? 

Hello, I would like to share an issue I've been having. Whenever I bake my model I have been having weird artifacts with it's maps and I'm unsure as to what's causing it. I put this in discussion as I'm not sure if this is a bug or me just not understanding how the software works as I am relatively new to it. I would greatly appriciate some help. Here's the ID Map for an example as to what I'm dealing with: 

I have several masked layers that I need to overwrite the normal channel of the whole stack where their mask is white.  On my PC workstation this works fine by setting the normal channel (and usually height) of those layers to "normal" or "replace".  However, I just noticed on my M1 Max Macbook Pro it is not working as expected. It appears that it is ignoring all blending modes for the normal channel, possibly height as well.  

Every single (Adobe)program can access normal Windows shared folders which are on a file server or different PC, doesn't matter.Substance Painter can't. Well, it sees the 3D model or texture but can't load it. Since I don't think it's actually a feature I think it's a bug if people are not able to use assets located on a fileserver for example. I can't think of a single reason it's not possible since every other program can. I'm really happy how Substance Painter gets developed and really nice new features but being able to load/write files from a network share should have been possible from version one, way before Adobe took over the bunch.Really hope this get fixed, I don't think I'm the only one that likes to work on projects from a fileserver which gets decent backups instead of constantely moving folders to local folders since Substance Painter gets confused otherwise.Currenly using Windows 11 22H2 but this issue is a Substance Painter 'feature' only. More than happy to try a

What am I doing wrong, I can't see the texture / stencil I loaded in the tool "Projection" to Base Color? It's in the brush color icon, I can paint it on the model but I just see the grey plane in front of my model, not the texture to be applied what makes it very hard to predict which part I'll pain where.

HI , my GPU CARD is HD 4000 intel what the suitable version substance painter i download ?i heard  version is 2.6.2 is that truei need help to complete my project 

Hi, I'm a novice in Substance 3D Painter. I took the Substance 3D Painter 2019 essentials training cource by Wes McDermott (LinkedIn Learning - the Guitar amp).  The finished project file was provided (SP v 8.1.3) and looks great: I exported the textures and added them to a Unity 2021 URP project and they looked distorted: You can see the text looks bad and some distortion in the black areas near the grey lights.  Anyone else take this class and see this problem?

I have been using the UV Border Distance generator to create trim details on pieces of mesh, but am having some issues with larger meshes having these dots that seem to come from the generator. The random dots seem tied to texture resolution. If I export in 8k there's significantly more, if I lower to 2k most go away but a few remain. Display is at 4k currently. Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it/prevent it?

I think I've uncovered a potential bug.  I've been attempting to use smart material presets on my Mac sent to me by a PC user.  Both of us are using the most current version of Subtance 3D Painter on the most current OS's of our respective machines.  These presets have been tested sharing between PC and PC and seem to work fine.  Sharing from Mac to PC also seems to work fine.  It's just when receiving smart materials from a PC user that I encounter problems using them on my Mac.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Is there any issue ( or requirement when ) passing presets between PC and Mac versions of Painter?I'm trying to send colleagues my smart-material presets and the PC guys can drag and drop and they work fine, but the Mac guys ( running native rather than through Bootcamp) get an error. Not even a useful one that might suggest a solution. We've tried manually placing them in the correct your-asset smart-material folder and restarting and they're not recognised.We assumed presets would be platform agnostic so is there anything extra we need to be doing? Thanks

Are there selection tools in Painter perhaps like the Magic Wand in Stager or a lasso?Based on what I've seen in my eary days of of trying out and researching Painter the anser is no. Are there good alternative approaches to applying different materials to parts of a mesh?  For example if I have a sheet of metal with  bolts (all part of the same mesh) and I want to have the sheet metal red and shiney and the bolt heads black and dull. Is the only way to do this to use Materials IDs or separate meshes perpared before importing to Painter?  Can Substance Modeler handle this situation?ThanksGeorge

Ich habe das merkwürdige Problem, dass der Stiftdruck in SubstancePainter nicht funktioniert, aber dafür überall woanders, auch wenn ich diese Programme parallel nebeneinander laufen lasse. Es scheint nicht wirklich am Treiber zu liegen, sondern an SubstancePainter. Das ist jedenfalls mein Eindruck. Ich nutze die SteamVersion, da ich das Programm dort erworben hatte. Im Treiberprogramm des Tablets habe ich SubstancePainter als Programm eingetragen, in der die Treiber aktiv sein sollen. Windows Ink ist eingeschaltet. Mausmodus aus. Trotzdem weigert sich Substance, den Stiftdruck zu aktivieren. Die Stiftdruck-Buttons in der Tool-Leiste sind ebenfalls aktiv.Trotzdem tut es nicht was es soll. Das Problem scheint aber nur bei meinem M10K nicht lösbar zu sein, denn Wacom-Tablets haben damit kaum Probleme soweit ich das in einem YTVideo sehen konnte. Der Hersteller von Gaomon scheint auch keine Lösung für das Problem anzubieten. Vielleicht mache ich irgendwas falsch, oder ich s

"When I try to bake maps from my highpoly to lowpoly mesh, I'm getting weird baked results with some unwanted textures over the mesh. I will add some screenshots with this message which shows the issue. Please help me fix it    

I'm having a problem with substance, I've been using it for a long time, but in this 2023 update when I try to use a generator or a filter, it just leaves someAnd most already come with the substanceWhen I try to use it, an error message pops up.[ Generator view ] generator is not a substance fileIf anyone knows how to solve it, it would help a lot, I'm managing to turn around but it's still a delay

Im done with my first asset painted with substance I want to export and sell it as a game asset or a standalone asset. I want to sell it on CGTrader and similar. Along with the other files, i want to prove the buyers with both the normal map types. [PS: Color, Metalness, Normal x2, AO, Roughness are i guess all i need? Never sold my stuff on websites before] Please help.

Hello when importing a file from MAYA to substance i had the issue "Be carefull modifing one of these paramaters may recompute all your channels" i press enter to import and don't change any paramater then i gave me an error "Failed to compute tangents; need UV data in channel0." not sure why it happen to 4 of my models although others are working fine I tries all possible solutions like exporting FBX, OBJ, Clear history , freeze transforms ..etc all these tricks but still stuck, also i made the UV automatic and manual 😞 Thanks in advance

I noticed when trying to bake out maps (at any res) Painter will crash to desktop w/no error. Even when unchecking the raytracing and live preview options. My system is an 13th gen i7 with 64Gb of RAM and an Intel Arc A770. When I try the same bake on another system with an nvidia card it works fine. I've reported it to both Intel and Adobe, but wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

I've seen this posted in multiple places a couple of months ago. I just got a 7900xt myself and suddently Painter won't launch, I only see the splash screen for a brief moment. What gives? Has this still not been fixed?I've tried old and recent drivers with absolutely no luck. Now I can't work and it's a problem.Any ideas?

Hey, I dont know if this is the ocrrect place to make this post but im trying to make a steel material (reference included), does anyone have suggestions for how to make this? Ive been trying to mimic the material for a couple hours and im stuck, any advice or suggestions would be great! 

If any layer has metallic values enabled, that part of the color in diffuse map turns black on export. I've started multiple projects, different models, various presets for export, can't figure out why this is happening. 

Is there a better way to add the edge wear to the painted section? I used a basic setup to hopefully show how the current folder structure is. The Normal detail group has its own folder with an anchor so it can be referenced by the edge wear generators etc. The trouble is if I add Normal (or Height details using the same separate group and anchor setup) you can't (or I can't think at the moment) how to reference the edge ware with some added paint to the handle in this example?   

When baking with the Intel Arc A770, after doing nothing for a few seconds, Substance Painter closes with no error message. Baking textures worked fine previously with a GTX 1660 SUPER.Driver updates did not do anything to help the issue, I even tried downloading the newest beta ones.I attached the crash log, and a video of the issue, if those have any uses.  System specs:CPU: Intel i510400FRAM: 64GB DDR4GPU: Intel Arc A770Windows 11 Build version: 8.3.1

Hi! When using a 4k screen, I am having a problem with the resolution of the 3D View section.Not that textures would be bad resolution, or the render output, but the viewport itself of the painter (window in which I paint onto the model). Everything else is of correct resolution, all the thimbnails of materials, or the UI. It almost looks like the 3D view would be running at something like 420p. It's really bad, blurry, I can see pixels of edges. I can fix the pixelish edges by turning up temporal antialiasing but then its still very blurry, even more actually. Its very unusable. This started to be happening since I switched from educational license to the paid license. I tried reinstalling, but that did not help.This issue seems like it's not happening when using a Full HD display. Using an FHD display is acutally sharper (even if at same size).This issue is happening only in Substance Painter. No other 3D software is doing this. Thanks in advance for any help
