example script how to automate sbsar and sbs file creation of megascans surfaces

[spinhoven]

Hello dear Allegorithmic

I have X00+ megascan surfaces all in a folder structure as created by Quixel's Bridge application.
What i would love to do is add a .sbs and .sbsar file into each material directory so they can be easily used with your tools as well as Megascan Studio (by keeping the folder structure).
Somehow i hope the automation toolkit is capable of providing this, and even more i hope Allegorithmic would be willing to provide such a script since i lack the skills to write one myself.
I'm sure i'm not the only one that likes to mix assets and tools from both Algorithmic and Quixel so probably this would make many of your users very happy.

Thanks for all your work , i love your tools

Hi,

This is a great idea and we are currently assessing whether it's something we can do.
Sorry for not being able to give a straight answer at this point. Hopefully you will get a better answer soon.

Thanks for any answer

Unfortunately not. I'll bring it up again.

Thanks David that's appreciated.

I imagine lots of Substance users do use both Megascans and Substance and will keep doing so in the future.
Because of Substance advanced integration with tweak-able parameters it seems to make sense to put substance on top of megascans in the workflow and automate the integration.   

So lots of karma points from your users to gain !

;-) Good luck to motivate the team.

I'd like to bump this as well!
Would be really useful since we use both tools a lot.

Not the feature I hoped to find BUT

A nice useful step, that more could like.
