Exposed Parameters on Substance Export?

[pixelpup]

After exporting a material in a .sbsar format, I would have expected to retain some control over the substance when it is imported into another program.  However loading it into substance painter, or Unity, it just gives me the output textures essentially.  Hoping there is a plan to have the ability to retain parameter control for certain things using exposed parameters maybe?  I was hoping this might be a dirty way to get material blending in other places but this does not seem to be the case so far.  I like the idea, but if I am stuck with the changes to the texture, I don't really see the place for this tool.  It's trying to fill a gap somewhere between painter and designer that maybe I just don't see.

Hello,

Today, we expose per default the output resolution. In the future, we plan to let the user exposes the parameters he wants.

Any news on this subject?
now when i create a material or adjust an existing one, all tweak options are removed.
any idea when this can be fixed?

This is a features that would be really useful for me. Hope it gets added.

Without exposed parameters being carried through to the .sbsar that is exported from Alchemist, I literally see no point in using Alchemist in my workflow in conjunction with Painter.   

I now understand that the reason behind this is that Alchemist does not save out the procedural .sbsar  - It is just exporting textures and putting them in a .sbsar container.

I really hope this feature can be added.  Otherwise the work-around is to create several versions of the material and switch between those in Painter for variety.
