Substance 3D Plugins

I can't get the Integration Tools to install. When clicking on the Install from disk button i get this error on the screen and in the console: Error: Python: RuntimeError: could not create instance of SUBSTANCE_OT_install_tools to call callback function 'invoke' No window appears to locate the file. I'm on Windows 23H2, verified WMIC is installed and the PATH is set in the system variables. Was running Python 3.12, upgraded to 3.13 with the same error. Uninstalled Blender, rebooted, reinstalled, no change. No sure what else to do.

Is it possible to get the SDK build against VS2022 and VS2026 runtime? SDK available for download are build with VS2015, at least the DLLs dependencies are pointing at it (see picture attached). We are looking at upgrading out tech to use VS2026 but we still need VS2022 for teams that can’t update to latest. The SDK version 9.0.3 we using now was build with VS2019.

Hi all! I have a problem with using the sbsar plugin. I wrote a detailed report here but I’ll summarize it here. I got the sbsar plugin to build, install and load in our renderer but all the substance archive materials appear like this on the object. I’ve used Cardboard.sbsar, DoubleCardboard.sbsar and natural_lambskin_leather.sbsar and they all look like this.Since the Substance engine will generate the textures on demand, I’m guessing there’s a problem with the way I set it up. I couldn’t find documentation on how to do so, so far what I’ve done is extract the tar substance-ubuntu22-v9.3.1-fb5c0b3b.tar.bz2 then add the -DSUBSTANCE_FRAMEWORK_ENGINE_VARIANT=ss2_blend to the cmake command that builds the sbsar plugin. The rest I just followed instructions for Linux from the repo. I know the sbsar plugin loaded because when I don’t load it by not setting the environment variables, the material is not found, and the default surface is applied to the objects. Here I can see there is some t

Just got an email from Google Play that my app that uses Substance 3D plugin for Unity contains an .so file that is not 16KB-aligned, and I tracked the issue down to Substance 3D v3.12 Unity plugin's Arm64/libsbsario.so. So could we have an update, please? 🙂

When using the Substance 3D Plugin for Blender, certain SBSAR materials (for example, flower_pattern_wallpaper.sbsar) produce inverted colors on the Base Color output.The Diffuse output shows the correct color, but it is not connected by default in the generated material node tree — only the Base Color map is used, which results in visibly incorrect (color-inverted) shading in Blender’s viewport and renders.Additional Notes:Tested in Blender 4.4 and 4.5 with Substance Plugin 2.3.0 on Windows 11.The issue seems to occur only on some materials (so far confirmed with flower_pattern_wallpaper).Manual workaround: replacing the Base Color connection with the Diffuse map fixes the issue temporarily. 

I'm trying to load a Substance .sbsar file into Blender 4.2.1 LTS using the 'Adoby Substance 3D add-on for Blender' 2.3.0 using the Python bpy library. file_path = "/Users/xxx/sbsar/lemon_skin.sbsar" bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(segments=128, ring_count=64) ob = bpy.data.objects["Sphere"] ob.select_set(True) bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = ob file_abs = str(Path(file_path).absolute()) file_name = str(Path(file_path).name) file_parent = str(Path(file_path).parent.absolute()) + "/" bpy.ops.substance.load_sbsar(filepath=file_abs, files=[{"name":file_name},{"name":file_name}], directory=file_parent) however I get the error:Substance 3D in Blender: Substance file [lemon_skin.sbsar] located at [/Users/xxx/sbsar/lemon_skin.sbsar] could not be loaded Strangley if I open the 'Substance 3D' panel, click the 'Load' button, then 'Cancel' the file dialog (without selecting anything) the load_sbsar command works! Please can you help.Kind regards,Paul 

I am using UE5 5.5.4, | Substrate Materials activated within the Project settings.Why are the Substance Source Materials pitch black and not useable?Please see image screenshot below: This happens, when I activate "Substrate" Materials within my Project Settings.Ecen after verifying the UE5 Install and the Unreal Engine Substance Plugin. Same issue. What's causing it?How to fix it?How to avoid it? Thanks for any ideas, thoughts and fixes!

Hi,We have render nodes on our farm that do not have GPUs.  This results in us not being able to render anything with substance on our farm.  I have set CPU mode manually and confirmed the setting stuck after re-launching max, but when deadline launches a job it somehow resets this mode.  I am able to get it to work if I currently have a max instance open with CPU mode on, but as soon as I close max and launch deadline it resets to GPU. If there is a way around this I would love to hear it.  My initial thought on how to get around this is to setup a startup script in max that changes substance to CPU mode, but I am unable to find the maxscript command for this and the maxscript listener doesn't show one when swapping. Does anyone know a way to force CPU mode on launch?Thank you

I downloaded the latest two compressed files from the official website and installed them correctly. However, when I tried to import the.sbsar file exported from Adobe Substance 3D Designer, an error occurred. The file was indeed imported, but the color editor was not properly connected. Therefore, I am here seeking a solution.The methods I have tried: running Blender as an administrator, trying the old version of Blender 3.3.1, and ensuring that the file path does not contain Chinese characters. My biggest problem is how to solve the error: "Substance 3D in Blender: An error occurred while setting the material [Substance_graph]. [0.003] seconds"

Hello, are there any download archives for the substance for 3ds max 18 plugin. I recently had to reinstall max, and a few years ago the 2018 plugin was still offered but i have lost the setup file.I am unfortunately stuck on 3ds max 2018 as it is the last version with an exporter plugin for the game engine i am modding, so upgrading to a newer version is not possible.Is it possible someone still has the installer and could upload it if not officially available?

The Substance Materials appear too dark. See Screenshot below.How to fix this?Thanks for any ideas!

Hi all.When rendering a scene with a substance2 map, render times are several times slower in 3ds Max 2024 vs 2022.I've attached 2 screenshots from Arnold which show the render times. This issue also occurs with V-Ray. Also, the system also does not appear to be fully utilizing the CPU.When rendering with Arnold GPU in 2024, the initial render also takes a long time to actually begin the render compared to 2022.  There is one issue I have with V-Ray that I do not have with Arnold in that the system completely locks up when beginning a render and when a render is finished in 2024. When I contacted Chaos support and they looked into it, they informed me that it was due to the Substance plugin regenerating texture previews, so I assume that is a plugin issue. My full conversation with them is here, if that is of any help.So far I've tried complete reinstalls of 3ds Max and V-Ray, complete reinstalls of the Nvidia drivers (I tried both the studio and gaming drivers, using DDU to

Hi everyone, the UE plugin for substance 3D is not available in my region. Is there a direct download or so?https://www.fab.com/listings/292bb370-f146-4d1e-89c2-afbdb26cea6b

Hey all, have a bit of an odd issue that I'm hoping you can help with.  Our team is using Unity VCS for source control, but we have a frequent issue of files in the Substance Unity plugin showing as deleted and needing to re-add them.  For example, Substance was working fine then I pulled in changes from a coworker (who hadn't touched the Substance plugin) and a bunch of the plugin files got deleted. The solution is to re-import the plugin, but now my version control is showing me as having added a bunch of plugin files, where nowhere in the project history do they show as being deleted.  It's not a huge dealbreaker having to re-import the plugin when you pull in changes, but it's odd that it only happens with the Substance plugin.  It's also happened across several projects with different coworkers. Are you aware of any issue like this?  Any suggestions how to fix it?
