Substance 3D Sampler

This is my typical image to material (AI)  experience  vs   depth channel  generated by ortho projection export from  Reality capture put in Designer .I wonder can I use and improve the captured depth which is in fact a bit blurry and has lots of photogrammetry artifacts  to help AI do better thing.   Because in my experience  I get mostly nothing like in Sampler youtube videos  but rather hardly recognisable mess.    

I have an ortho projection tiff  with depth  done from Reality capture  . It's a photo with shadows  and a height map from photogrammetry +lidar reconstructed surface mesh.   Can I use Sampler AI somehow to    a)  get rid of shadows  including the small ones from surface details?                                                                   b)  make the height/depth  from photogrammetry  more detailed   or just  less blurry normal map ?  I mean not inventing the normal / height maps on its own but follow the existed height? Just by making less blurry normal map details from

What URLs do the sampler need access to in order to use generative AI features? We have it behind the firewall and the generative AI fails.

Hi,I am an educator and trying to make a 3D model of a small micrometeorite I shot with my microscope camera and microscope taking 20 or so different views hoping to make a 3D printed version students can see. I don't think there is any EXIF info - it is a microscope objective and microscope digital camera and focus stacked images - made from hundred of images - I added the information manually while importing and tried to submit. Got an error message nad could go no further. Is it possible to make a 3D model with focus stacked images and no EXIF info? Is there a program that would allow me to manipulate the images myself/manually - I think I could align them easily around a roughly oval shape... Anyway, thanks for any help you can provide! Thanks! Jon

I am looking forward to Adobe Sampler having the feature where one can remove light and shadow information from an image (delighting) to derive an albedo texture.  (Substance designer's AO cancellation node is a good start but does not do the job pretty well) Switchlight Studio, does this job pretty well

When will Sampler be able to import custom meshes?  Are the Devs even considering this essential feature? I am trying to create PBR textures from Photogrammetry scans in which the software only produces a diffuse image. I’d love to be able to use Sampler’s 3D scan feature but the meshes it generates are inferior to other Software and currently have  too many issues for me.  While Sampler can generate the PBR textures (Roughness, Normal, Metallic) it is very difficult to gauge how things look without being able to view them on the actual scanned object. Can anyone recommend a workflow for this?  Does Painter or Designer have the same ability to generate PBR textures from a single image?

as you can see the embroidery texture is not good and not matching, i did the same as your video and still the same problem, same problem with your file first-steps-with-substance-3d-sampler and this from your video    

My partner and I are experiencing crashes that has caused a popup on Sampler startup that lets us file a bug report, however we notice that the auto-response is coming from contact @ allegorithmic.com and we wonder if you are receiving the bug reports? Windows 11 23H2 22631.4037Sampler 4.5.1 Thank you!

Im creating materials in Substance Designer using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color management and then tryin to use them in Sampler, but I cant seem to find any color management options in Sampler, making it pretty much useless for my work flow needs and at this point dead in the water. Am I missing something or does Sampler not have any color management?

    This release includes a new Send-To workflow, to send assets to third party apps where the Substance plugin is installed in a single click, and new texture generators.You can find more info about this release in the release note and in the documentation for the send-to workflow.

Can someone recommend an algorithm for recreating such a texture?

We released a hotfix for Substance 3D Sampler! Version 4 4.5.1 GRUYERE (Released: 30 July 2024)    Fixed: [Layers] Painting greyscale masks does not work, impacting tools like Clone Stamp, Paint Warp, Content Aware Fill

Hi,I recently saw another post where a user asked if presets had been removed from a particular filter and was informed that yes the presets were removed and that  'Unfortunately the documentation is not up to date anymore'.   Here is the thread I am referring to... https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-bugs/surface-relief-presets/idc-p/14744616#M464After doing a bit of digging it has raised the following questions...Why is the documentation not kept up to date? It can be very frustrating and time consuming for users when they are not sure if it is them doing something wrong, there is a bug in the program, or if the documentation is out of date. What is the policy at Adobe with regard to keeping the documentation up to date?Why are some changes not included in Release Notes (for example, the Surface Relief filter now no longer has presets, yet I cannot find it listed in the Release Notes). This is despite the fact that the title of the page I went

Hi,As I have posted questions with regard to the latest version 4.5 and not recieved any answers, I will ask again here.1. Dirt filter normal map still is not working for me - the release notes say it was fixed. For more information look at my other posts...https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-bugs/dirt-filter-normal-map-issues-v4-5-0-windows-10/idi-p/14750130https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-bugs/dirt-filter-normal-map-issues-v4-4-1-windows-10/idc-p/14744580#M462 2. Release notes for 4.5 mention Added content - New texture generator category - Gradients.  I cannot find it anywhere (I also asked this question on the 'New Sampler 4.5 Release!' thread). Can someone please give more information on this. Where is it? What is it for? 3. Release notes for 4.5 mention Added content HDRI Tools - new Environment rotation filter.  Again, I cannot find it anywhere. I compared the ...Resources\assets\StarterAssets folder to the last version

Trying to use the Clone Stamp tool in Substance Sampler. I can set the sample point and then click and drag over the part I wont to clone over, but nothing happens. In every tutorial ive watched, the area you are cloning is supposed to turn lighter, indicating the cloned texture area, but thats not happening either. No idea if its bugged or I'm doing something wrong, but it seems like a pretty straight forward tool, but cant get it to work.

Hi,I have just installed the latest version, 4.5.0 (before doing this I uninstalled the previous version 4.4.1 and restarted my pc).The release notes mention that the following issue is fixed - Applying a Dirt filter on top of Image to Material generates a black normal. However I am getting the exact same results I was getting previously (a black normal map when applying the dirt filter to Image to material... also  a black normal when appllying the dirt filter to a material downloaded from the asset store.).Here is a link to my previous thread... https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-bugs/dirt-filter-normal-map-issues-v4-4-1-windows-10/idc-p/14744580#M462Thanks

How to use the same generator not only for color, but also for roughness and heights for example? If I turn on roughness it affects the entire layer, not just the generator pattern.   

Have the Surface Relief presets been removed in 4.4.1? I've seen them in tutorials but they dont show up for me.

Hi,I thought this had been fixed in the latest version... but have just found another bug with it. When I create a material using image to material and add a dirt layer... the normal map ceases to exist. (see attached images).I was just following the "How to Use Generative Tools in Sampler for Fast Iterations" video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD3tPlO5h3gIt works on the video when he adds the dirt filter (go to 4:04 to see).  However, it says the filter needs to be updated, which shows that the video example uses the previous version of the dirt filter.Can you please test and confirm this is not just happening at my end.Thanks.        

Good day, I have a problem with Adobe Sampler. All images prepared according to the specifications, however, I still get the error " An error occurred while processing dataset". I have a video, I can send. Please help me and fix it.  I sending video - https://we.tl/t-pg7f3wGNGl  Thanks 

Hi,I have found that some materials from the Substance 3D Assets site which I was able to import in previous versions of Sampler are now failing to import using all of the following methods...1. Drag the sbsar from Windows explore into the 3D view2. Drag the sbsar from Windows explore onto the layers panel3. Drag the sbsar from Windows explore into AssetsYour assets panel4. Add the material using the + button in the assets panel.No errors appear on screen, pc does not freeze or hang. Its like trying to add the material is just ignored. As mentioned, this is the case with some materials, not all.  For example, Chipped Off Paint SteelDOES work...https://substance3d.adobe.com/assets/allassets/bc84bc401cecfa282de1a6c66c14591989c5ebf4?q=chipped%20off%20paint&sort=-searchScoreBurnt Metal does NOT work...https://substance3d.adobe.com/assets/allassets/f4dd8150fba15cc143eb426050b14e5100c15729?q=burnt%20metal&sort=-searchScore Can you please tell me why this

Hi,I imported an image to the 'Your assets' section in the assets panel and used it as a pattern on a material, saved the .ssa and closed Sampler.Not happy with the image I imported, I proceeded to make further edits to it in Photoshop and overwrite the original version of the image.Opening the .ssa file again I noticed the image had not updated in the 3d viewport, 2d viewport, or when exporting the PNG texture. Right clicking on the image asset in the assets panel brings up the path where the asset is stored.... C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Sampler\yourAssets. I then closed Sampler and overwrote the image in this folder with the newly edited one.When I opened Sampler again I saw this still did not update the image asset.  I cleared all cache files (both textures and thumbnails), closed Sampler, reopened the file.... and STILL it was using the original version of the image (both in the viewport and exported as a PNG texture).Then I noticed that th

Hey guys, I have a custom script working for exporting tiff files. All the logic works and Im using a custom preset for converting my custom maps. The issue Im hitting right now is that it always exports every texture in the preset, regardless if it has information in it or not. So now Im trying to find a way to only export textures that have "Is Computed" set to on. I know I can update the script everytime I have a different set of textures that need to be exported but that seems silly. I've looked through the API documention for sampler and nothing stands out that appears to answer this goal. Also I have also tried to make calls to the export api that is standard in sampler export process. The idea here is maybe I can set the  active channels in that list and use that as a way of exporting what I need. I was blocked in this attempt too.Curious what you guys think and if there is a way to only export "Is Computed" channel that are on. # Import the necessary modulesimpor
