MaterialX Plugin

[Aarthi5CB9]

Hi,

   I am trying to install MaterialX plugin to Substance 3D Designer to create Viewport shader for subtsance painter. Even after following the steps given in the link: https://share.substance3d.com/libraries/6111,the MaterialX Icon is not autogenerating while opening a new susbtance designer file.Intsallation is failling.

Hi there,

I'll let the dev elaborate more on this when they are back, but the most common cause of problems for this plugin is that materialX (not included) was not installed, or a different version was installed. We are using 1.37 for now.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear this.

Have you watched the following video, it walks through the installation in detail:

Also make sure you use the MaterialX v 1.37 build, it is not compatible with 1.38.

Hi ,

      Thanks for the reply.I followed the video which you sent to install the plugin.But still the installation failed.

I thought of redownloading the pulgin and reinstall again but now the page is throwing error from where the MaterialX plugin is downloaded.Please look into it.

This is still an issue. Is MaterialX no longer supported by Adobe?

Hello @Nicholas Melillo,

The MaterialX plugin for Designer was updated since your last message. Is it working as expected now?

Best regards.

Starting from this page: https://substance3d.adobe.com/tutorials/courses/Getting-Started-with-MaterialX/youtube-bduf3TWmeMY

It seems the Plugin at what once was "Substance Share" is no longer available. This video specifies that it is needed to install MaterialX @ 1:13 / 11:31. 

https://substance3d.adobe.com/community-assets/libraries/6111 

Is there somewhere else I can find this plugin?

[Luca Giarrizzo]

Hello Nicholas,

I have escalated your request and will let you know about the outcome. Thank you for your patience!

Best regards.

Any update on this? 
The materialx plugin doesn't seem to be available anywhere

Hello @JP29105345vttt,

Unfortunately, our team stopped working on the Plugin for MaterialX, therefore it isn't available anymore indeed. I can tell you we are still discussing about MaterialX, but I can't tell you much more, so stay tuned.

Have a nice day.

[JP29105345vttt]

That's a real shame to hear 😞 

As MaterialX is an open standard would the team considering open sourcing the plugin so the community could continue working with it + substance?

[JP29105345vttt]

Also it would be great to remove the web pages that are no longer usable:

[Cyril Dellenbach]

From what I know, I don't think it's planned to open sourcing the plug-in because as I told you, we didn't drop MaterialX. Unfortunately you'll have to be patient.

And for the web pages, you're perfectly right, we should at least add a disclaimer. I'll bring it up to the team.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Best regards,

Hi, 

Any update on this @Cyril Dellenbach ?
Adobe said they are working with others companies on OpenPBR.  Do we know when this technic will be available on Designer? 

[Cyril Dellenbach]

Hello @Lio5C62,

We are still working on the project, but no ETA or plans to share.

Best regards,

[Lio5C62]

Thank you for your quick response @Cyril Dellenbach .
I understand.

[Lio5C62]

Hello @Cyril Dellenbach 
Do you have any updates on this? Apology for my impatience 🙂

[Cyril Dellenbach]

Nothing new.

We don't have any ETA, but developing such a feature will for sure take time.

Regards,

[Lio5C62]

Ok
Thank you for your answer.
