[SOLVED] Errors exporting to sbsar - Execution failed ! (Exit Code: 13)

[Pegot]

OK it's because you have to use the "bitmap2material light" node that is accessible within SD: (the node you are trying to use is related to some dependencies)

Where do I find the Bitmap2Material Light sbsar file for importing into Substance Designer?  In the B2M install folder I only see in data folder "Bitmap2Material_3-1.sbsar" and then in the Legacy folder there is "Bitmap2Material_3.sbsar"

Here is my graph. Also not sure it is helpful or relevant, but exporting to use with the substance plugin for 3ds max. many of the layers built off of the polygon 1/2 shapes are not appearing in the final export.

Thanks Vincent.  That did work but unless my set up still has errors, the functionality provided by this node is extremely limited compared to what is possible in the actual B2M application.  For example, I can't find a way to perform either of the two most essential tasks: Manipulate the base color (shadow removal) to get a more even Albedo texture.  Or set and control the tiling method.

It does not appear to be possible to edit the Base parameters of the Bitmap2Material Light node and the Tiling mode can not be changed from the default "H and V tiling".

Is this correct or might I be doing something wrong?

If indeed these are just current limitations of the "light" node, are there any plans to expose more of the functionality from the full B2M application within Designer so that a more powerful sbsar can then be imported into Substance Painter?

[Vincent Gault]

you are quite right for the b2m light features: there are other nodes like the equalizer and some that are used for scanned treatment.

Ultimately, B2M will be replaced by Substance Alchemist, which is way more powerful.

Great!  I watched the Siggraph videos about Alchemist.  Very excited about that product.  I applied to be a beta tester just recently!

Any update on this? haven't been able to resolve this export issue

Hi, I also experience some issues with the SBS Cooker. I followed the "Creating your first substance material course" on YouTube and everything worked well until the very last video, the publishing of the sbsar file. Here is what I get:

I'm using a 2019.3.3 Student Version.

Maybe someone can help me, thank you.

Looks like this problem is on OSX.

Hello all!

We indeed found an issue on macOS connected to the publishing of SBS packages to SBSAR. We are currently investigating the issue and will let you know in this thread of any relevant outcomes.

We thank you all for your reports and patience!

Best regards.

[Luca Giarrizzo]

Hello,

We are happy to share this issue is now fixed in the latest version of Substance Designer. We therefore suggest updating to the latest version your licence type allows for the most reliable experience.

You can take a look at the release notes page the entire list of fixes and additions implemented in each release.

Best regards.

Hello, sorry to be resurrecting this thread but as far as I can tell the problem is not resolved at all. You did explain what happened but not actually how to fix it.

I have a document that is shown correctly in Substance Designer but when trying to use the sbscooker through the automation kit, I get the error

Code: [Select]

[ERROR][SBSCooker]Variable type mismatch:

I'm using substance 2018.2.2 and Automation toolkit 2018.2.0 (since there's not toolkit 2018.2.2 available).
As far as I can tell the solution is to just update but for me this is not an option as my license is fixed. Should I understand that for my particular license, Automation toolkit is not actually compatible with the Designer?

I had this setup working before with Substance Designer 2018.1.0 and an older version the automation toolkit but I received some sbs files that were done with 2018.2.2 and so I had to upgrade.

Other than renewing the license here I'm not sure what my options are.
