import substance_painter into python3 terminal

[micahlaika]

Hello--

Is there any way to configure the environment such that substance_painter can be imported into a python3 terminal (I am on linux if it matters).  I am hoping there is a way to export textures without running a display.

This is the error I am currently getting:

Code: [Select]

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import substance_painter

Thanks!

I'm also really interested in using the painter python module outside of painter itself.

Is there any other way of doing this, i'm getting the same issue.

Hi guys,

we do not provide a separate SDK for substance painter so you can't use the substance_painter module outside of Painter.
