Sampler Pipeline Integration

[Michael Fessenden]

Good morning,

We're currently evaluating how to integrate some of our tools in Substance Sampler and I had a few questions about how best to package and distribute plugins.

Is there a way to update the application Python search path? I noticed the application accepts command-line args to run a script or a configuration file. Is there any documention or examples of a configuartion file? 

Thanks for your time!

Hello,

I'm not sure to understand all your points.

If you want to install python packages that can be used by Sampler, you can install them using the Python executable shipped with Sampler with:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Sampler\resources\pythonsdk\python.exe -m pip install -- user [yours packages]

If you want to use another Python than the one shipped with Sampler, this is not possible.

Let me know if it answers your points.

Sorry to be unclear.

I'm curious if Sampler has a user plugin search path akin to Substance Designer and Painter. Also, will we be able to load plugins automatically, or is the only mechanism to use the Plugins & Scripts panel in preferences?

We don't for the moment. It's on our list of future improvements.
