Can't install substance integration tools macOS Apple silicon

Report · Dec 29, 2022

I downloaded the plugin from the bottom of this page https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/68A24EE2-2EA8-416F-D95B-23B8E64E5DE8# all platforms prerelease v7, installed it in Blender>edit>preferences> addons. I downloaded the integration tools, Mac-Substance 3D Integration Tools v. 1.4.3, from this page as well. https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/68A24EE2-2EA8-416F-D95B-23B8E64E5DE8#.

When I enable the addon and click "update tools" it does nothing. No window pops up, nothing shows up in the log.

I disabled and removed the plugin, deleted the zip and restarted the computer before redownloading and trying to reinstall several times. I've gone to activity monitor and force-quit every single process related to adobe or substance and tried again. Nothing.

I've tried downloading the substance addon from this page https://substance3d.adobe.com/plugins/substance-in-blender/?sdid=JQVGW67L&mv=search&gclid=CjwKCAjwo_... and followed the link from there to download the integration tools https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/68A24EE2-2EA8-416F-D95B-23B8E64E5DE8# but when installing them that way it throws an error that the service could not be started.

I'm kind of at a loss here.

Hi,

The issue is probably because you're using an old version of the plugin. And make sure the engine is running on Rosetta.

Here are the steps for fresh installation:
- uninstall the plugin
- uninstall the Substance Integration Tools
- check if there is an instance of Substance Remote Engine running in the activity monitor, if so kill the process
- reinstall the plugin (Please download the latest plugin here: https://substance3d.adobe.com/plugins/substance-in-blender/#:~:text=The%20Substance%203D%20add-on,op... )

- reinstall the integration tools

Thanks!
