Substance 3D Stager

As an illustrator who mainly uses Stager and Assets to set up scenes for reference images, I would love to be able to subscribe to JUST those two apps. I illustrate children's books for Simon & Schuster, and have posted some short clips on how useful Stager can be in creating digital maquettes for use as reference, experimenting with different camera angles and lighting, etc. I posted about using Stager here: here: https://debbieohi.substack.com/p/picture-books-101-behind-the-scenes I have had many other professional illustrators ask me more about Stager, get all excited, but then lose interest when they realized they'd have to pay a hefty fee for the entire Adobe Substance 3D Suite when they only really needed one app (if they were content with the default in-app asset library).If Adobe allowed creatives to pay a lower subscription fee to access just Stager or Stager + Assets, I am 100% positive many more illustrators would sign up.  I also am eagerly awaiting

Hello everyone.I searched a lot on Google and YouTube, but this is not clear: is it possible to make animations with Substance?Maybe not with Stager itself, but any other? Thanks in advance for any help.

hi everyone,Is it possible to export at 300 or more dpi?? because I can't find any entry about

Hello community members,I face very often problem with accidentials moving objects when placing image on these objects. (Working with mouse)Is there any chance to prevent objects from moving when working on project?I tried the lock symbol but this won´t work.Please helprgds Hans

Hi y'all,I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've been using some limited spare time I have at work to research if there is an alternative software we can use for shrink sleeve design in regards to making an actual print file. I know this is probably a great application to use to make a 3D *mockup* of the design to show to customers, but we're the printer; not the designers. We're currently using Esko to warp and distort artwork so that it looks "straight" after the printed image is shrunk onto the container. It's about one of the clunkiest, heavy, slow-moving, digusting applications that probably exists in the whole world, and the licensing is insanely expensive (i.e. we're paying them an arm and a leg to stress us out). I want there to be an Adobe alternative SO BAD, but I just can't find many people talking about if this (or any other Adobe product) can be used as alternative. Is there any Adobe software that can apply distortion and warp *precisely* to

Whenever I placed a graphic (image) on any model in stager & render it, results are pixalated.I've tried image in high resolution with both jpg & png. but results are same.As Compared render with same settings in Dimension the results are way good then the stager.here are the comparison results of rendered model in stager vs dimesnion.

You can register to attend the afterparty >>right here<<.

Hi all,I really would like to know if there is some way to continue working on PAINTER when you just applied some material / texture into STAGER.Let me be more crystal clear: I have simple meshes in stager that need to receive some material (in my case a CUP needs to get some glossy effect inside and some matte effect outside... very simply). I simply use the MAGIC WAND to select the inner and outer side of my cup and I manually apply those metherials. That's pretty good but if I need to change the base color of my material for a SECOND CUP, every time I must use again the MAGIC WAND and pay attention to all its limitations...Is there a way (for example) to pass this STAGER work into PAINTER to continue texturing?Thank you

So here we are, almost into March of 2024,and still you have NO option to export a transparent mov from Stager, and NO optionto even export a transparent .png file.  This is the reason why people are moving away from thissoftware that is NOT meant for serious designers.  Super frustrating.  This issue goes way back in time,and still exists today.  Look at Adobe's site for Stager, nothing, no new tutorials, it shows you that they areputting zero effort into Stager or modeler at this point.  It's really sad and disappointing.    BTW, you'll see a lot of silly solutions like exporting to a .psd file.  Imagine exporting a 30 second video with 900 psd file and removing the background manually.  No Adobe this is beyond silly as a solution.  We are paying good money for these programs, please do put a little more time and effort into Stager and Modeler.

Can someone tell me why a completely transparent PNG is seen by Stager with a white background?Thank you!

Hi everyone !How many of you out there use Adobe 3D Modeler ?I found the corresponding Adobe commitity  and realize that thisforum really has little activity on it, just curious.

Stager will crash while attempting to open any file. The files wwill attempt to load but the software will crash while the bar reads a random percent. Usually it's 2% but will sometimes list 4%-40%. I used to get lucky and the file would end up loading but after several computer restarts this has become a concernable issue. My co-worker has no issues opening said files on his end and our computers have comparable specs. I'm working off the latest Studio Drivers with a clean install. I also tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it and running into the same issues. My specs below:Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 19045) (19041.vb_release.191206-1406)Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10850K CPU @ 3.60GHz (20 CPUs), ~3.6GHzMemory: 32768MB RAMAvailable OS Memory: 32686MB RAMDirectX Version: DirectX 12DirectX Database Version: 1.0.8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070Display Memory: 24374 MBDedicated Memory: 8032 MB

when I was working on the project for long time , the application got crashes, and I Lose everything I worked on. I faced this is  problem many times !!!

I everyone, when export obj from Stager, it lost all the materials, it import only the colours...why it happen??

I can't copy and paste the same png file twice onto the same 3D object...does anyone have a solution? 

This is the SAME issue others have written about....   I wanted to make sure I write my own post instead of commenting.Something is definitely up with IMPORT...       It just sits with LOADING...X%(It may be files that exceed Xmb, but it's definitely not working)...Since the update, cannot import into Stager, I assure you! (and I use it all day, every day).It's appearing in multiple conversations and posts, so it's unlikely that it's coincidence.....Hopefully, they will address the issue!thanks so much!! I will atttempt to revert to previous version.-E-

Hi there,facing severe issue with stager v 2.14 when loading files made from older stager versions.Windows 11 OS.I tried reinstall, no help.Stager shows loading window up to 100%, bibliothek is loaded.Then shows new loading window with blue line showing ??, no percentage.This brings stager to freeze complete.Only windows task manager stops executing, task manager shows 3 stager in action.Now installed prior version 2.13 and no more issue.Anyone facing same issue?Please help,Hans 

Hello,Last week, 2 of my machines that do rendering were working fine.Today, when I open a project and try to render, the software acts like it's starting to render, but then just sits and does nothing. If I try to cancel the render, it shows cancelled, and I can click different things in the application, but none of them actually do anything, including close/exit. The application has to be forced closed.I have tried starting a new image from scratch, and rendering just a simple sphere, but this also causes the freeze.I have tried rendering with GPU as well as CPU which make no difference.I have tried saving the render locally, as well as to a file server.I have tried rolling back to a slightly older version of Stager with no luck.I started a chat with Adobe for support, and I was told to clear my temp files before the support person simply left the chat. Delightful customer service (sarcasm).For machine specs: 1 brand new HP zBook Workstation with i7-13850HX, 32 gigs of RAM, RTX
