Substance 3D Stager

Hi team,Im doing work on pillar candles. I downloaded the pillar candle asset from the assest library. I apply an image to wrap around the candle, and there is always a slight line cutting through the graphic. I thought this was maybe a viewpoint percentage problem so I adjust from say 78.9% to 80% to round it up (which doesn't save in the file btw), to no avail.I render Ultra / Real time.Its also in the design view. Its always at the exact same spot no matter what I try. Is it a problem with the assest perhaps or something to do with the wrapping engine, or maybe my graphics card. Images below. You can see a slight black line down the candle. Thanks team. Windows 11 / Stager 2.1.4  

Substance 3D Stager has GPU rendering for Windows only, on supported NVIDIA cards.   If the GPU rendering option is disabled while you are on a supported card, there are two things you can do:   Update your video card drivers If you're on a laptop that also includes an integrated card use the NVIDIA control panel application to set Stager to prefer your dedicated GPU instead of the integrated card.

The page for Stager mentions Monterey being optimal but oddly doesn't mention Sonoma. Just trying to confirm that Stager (and all of the Substance aps) will run on on Sonoma? Thanks.

I don’t want to go too far off-subject in a non-Painter forum, but this news is a biggie for us: we’ve just launched a major new release of Substance 3D Painter, including a bunch of new features! Head over to our post on the Painter forum to learn more.

Hi everyone  Any news / rumors on when Adobe Stager 2024 software will be launched as its typically around this time. Will the software be on Steam for download (perteculual licence) or purely on Adobe subscription? Thanks,

Hi there, I'm pretty new at 3D Stager and I'm trying to essentially build a mockup for a glass product sitting against a very light gray background (I'm using the plane for this) casting a hard shadow on it using a spotlight physical light. Something like this photo below. The problem that I am running into is with the physical light, the background color changes to white, and sort of makes it uneven like a gradient. I have been instructed to keep the background a specific flat solid light gray background so I'm wondering how I could achieve this without having to change the intensity of the lights or changing the material colors etc. One way that "almost" works is using emission on the background and setting my desired color, however, that still won't get me a solid background as the physical light affects it. So I'm wondering if there is any way to tell an object in this case the plane to ignore lights? so the light gray no longer turns into white? even if that was pos

Having issues with ray tracing and normal/height maps! I need the raytracing to render out my hair cards and other opacity working objs but when it comes to the main head, it looks as though the normal map isnt even applied. Here's the two different ones , ray tracing, blocky, real time, correct normals. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this so it looks like the bottom one with Ray Tracing on? It seems to just acknowledge the low poly surface and not apply the normal map even though there is one.  Textures come straight from painter, here it is in the viewport there: Thank you! 

Why can't i get any depth/height from any of my materials in stager? I've tried exporting from sampler and that doesn't work and when i do try the diplacement feature, its all distorted. 

Does anyone has problems when exporting as GLB from stager ? When I finish a design an I try to import it as GLB to import it on AE, it looks different. I don't know if I did something wrong, I reached adobe support costumer service 3 days ago and I haven't received a reply yet.  

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if something just got turned off accidentally, but I'm completely new to Stager and I'm trying desperately to use it for my final which it's required for. Earlier today I opened up my working file to find that all my objects that I had been putting material and graphics on had gone completely black, like the lights had been turned off. I checked the lights in the panel and all of them were still turned on and no matter how I adjusted them it made no difference. I even tried adding more lights it made no difference. I checked to see if the graphics were still showing up in the materials of each object and they were. I haven't changed the location of any of my files or renamed any of them, so I'm very confused. The objects were ones I created in Illustrator and imported into Stager. I tested to see if any of the preset objects that are available in Stager would work and they showed up just fine. Feeling ho

Hi community,since I got a high resolution monitor I can hardly read the menu and elements in stager.I coud not find any place where to switch to larger font in stager, no hint in documentation or elsewhere on Adobe.Does anyone hav same problem, please help.Thank you Hans  

Saying what I think might not just be on my mind, but other users' as well. Trying Stager out because I wanted faster, easier renders of objects for illustration support. Keyshot is brilliant, but a bit expensive, and Maya (my 3D software of choice) just isn't quite as easy/fast to set up and render for all I need. So my experience so far, anyone else having these problems?It took four installs to get Stager to work (running it on an Alienware so not really short on horsepower).It loads and works without stalling and freezing maybe once out of every ten times, including a couple fo computer restarts. Works nicely when it does, renders beautifully and quickly, but why can't I just change the pivot for an object so it's not an akward dance of rotate then push-pull, repeat, to position something?My best tip so far: start the task manager before you start Stager so you can kill it early instead of wasting time waiting for it to not fully load a file.

Hi everyone,I'm so sorry if this is a completely stupid question, but this is my very first time working in Stager.I have a model in Substance Stager, I've looked at youtube tutorials for how to make a turnaround animation, and every single tutorial shows the timeline at the bottom. I do not have a timeline.I know Adobe usually has UI Panel resets in their "Window" menu option, but there is not any option to add a timeline panel.I also went through every "show/hide" option and there doesn't seem to be an option to show or hide the Timeline.Is it possible that my version of Stager doesn't have a timeline? Is there a hotkey I'm not aware of? Is there any way to tell if I have a "No timeline" version of Stager?

it seems my plane is turning my object black and white in raytracing mode which is strange because i have other objects in the same scene which are staying their original colour. Anyone know what this could be? if i turn the plane off the colour is kept while in ray tracing mode as seen in third screenshot    

I have a problem importing a background image. When I try to import a background image, I get the following message: There is a problem reading the file. There is nothing wrong with the file, as I tried to use the same file with a colleague and it works normally.Can anyone help me solve this problem.Thank you.

Now, I know that Copilot being ChatGPT4-based, isn't always right. Still, when I asked it about native AS support for Stager 3D, it answered: "Adobe Substance 3D Stager’s version 3.0.0 (Beta), which includes native support for Apple Silicon, was released on March 18th, 20241. This update brought several new features and improvements, enhancing the overall functionality and user experience on Apple Silicon devices."But the new version shows as being Intel on my MBP 16 M3Max. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but I still get "Intel" in Get Info.Is Copilot wrong or am I missing something? Been waiting so long to finally see Stager 3D be native, so I hope it's a user error on my part.

I am sure this has been asked a million times but what is the right way to fix this issue, I wish dimension would support .svg... You can see the smaller text losses its quality in this render, espicially when zoomed in.

Hello, Stagerest. Let me ask you a question about my favorite Stager.In the File menu, under Export, there is an item called "Selected Materials". I believe this menu item outputs a texture image of the selected object or the material selected in the material palette,along with the settings under the specified folder. However, for some reason, it does not output correctly.Sometimes only one, sometimes only 20, are output, even though they are in the same project file.And unfortunately, not all materials are output. Perhaps it is a bug,I have a feeling there might be a workaround technique for this problem. If you have any ideas, please advise.Thanks for reading.BR Toku

Hello everyone, I am currently looking to improve the rendering of this silver 925 bracelet. Is there a way in stager to add an embient occlusion for the engraving part ? The animal head does not constrast enough, ambient occlusion is indeed missing. The animal head is engraved, it is not a texture.Thanks for you support, any idea would be welcome.

Hi, I'm just experiencing MDL Graphs in Designer. But I cannot see how to import the .mdl file into Substance Painter or Substance Stager.In Stager some materials are clearly marked as "mdl" but I can't succed with my own. For example if I make Import / Place Material on Selection and choose my .MDL, a popup message saying this version of MDL file is not supported. This popup also includes a link to "Learn about the Adobe Standard Material" version of .mdl used by Stager, but this link goes to an inexistent page.The .mdl file indicates MDL 1.7Some help ?

This is probably a simple issue to resolve, but I am not sure what to do: I need to make 100+ renders of blister-card packaging concepts (similar to collectable toy action figures).   All of them need to have the same clear translucent material for the blisters. I know how to edit the material in Stager to get the look I need, but Stager does not allow the saving of materials. Remaking the same material 100+ times isn't going to work, but I can not figure out how to remake the same basic material in any of the other Substance programs, and save them somewhere that is accessible in Stager.  This is my process in Stager:1. Import the OBJ file to Stager2. Add the "Default .mdl" material to the model3. Adjust the Roughness down to 0.034. In the Interior section, I change the Translucency to 0.99, and add a slight bluish tint.  -and thats it. Done. I learned how to do that in this video from the Adobe Substance YouTube channel.:(starts at 5min) "Advanced M

I have multiple glass plynths I am trying to light serveral are set up and working fine (they have 4 area light surrounding the glass to light up the interior). The issue I am having now is whenever I add or copy new lights into the scene they dont seem to light anything up?  There is probably a much easier way to get the effect i want but I am fairly new so still learning. I have multiple coloured glass pillars inside each other and then wanted to make them glow.  

In general, when importing any object with rounded corners from Sketchup, some lines appear that cover the surface. Please tell me what should I do to make these lines disappear?   

Where did the Max CPU cores dialoque go? I have current 2.4.1 version of substance painter.I want to use the my CPU to render as a work around for the GPU max vram bug but can not find it. I can turn of the GPU button in the rendering settings but I can not find the CPU Max cores dialoque as listed in your documentation (see window pasted below).I have 32 cpu cores so cpu rendering is almost as fast as GPU nvidea geforce RTX 2070 with 8 vram on my machine. However I need to limit the cores the renderer uses so I can run system, photoshop, etc while rendering in the "background". I would use GPU but there seems to be a known bug with off loading vram when it maxes out which causes system to bog down and almost stop running.Please help! I have burned a lot of expensive time trying to work around no Rendering Q, GPU max vram bug and finally trying to render with cpu while continuing to work in photoshop! Will beta version help? If yes, how do I get access to beta?
