Hi,
I created custom font in Substance Designer and exported as sbsar file.
But, I can't import it as alpha in Substance Painter. I can only import it as basematerial.
Doesn anyone know how to solve this?

Hey Guys I have been having this exact same issue and followed the same steps here but like Felix I could not still export it out as a alpha only as a base material, has this issue been solved?

Hello Daniel,

What's the type of your graph in the Properties panel?

Make sure it is set up to "Unspecified", so you'll be able to choose when importing in Painter.

Did you output as a single output grayscale?

Example :

Simple text note and output node in Designer

Published as sbsar to my Painter Library >Alphas location

Dragged into brush Alpha slot:

Hi Dave,

I'm having the same issue.

Simple text node and an output node, but when importing to Substance painter, the options for import is greyed out and set to basematerial.

Is there any other way to try to fix this issue?

Thank you.

Don't import it. Just put it in your library location under Alphas.
