Substance Alchemist - Discussions - Re: Help with the embroidery Filter

 on: July 01, 2021, 04:40:08 pm 

Hi,

Did you try to change the color mode to Custom color? It would alow you to choose to change background color, if it's still transparent try to put a material below your Embroidery filter.

hope it will help you.

thanks

Substance Alchemist - Discussions - Re: No parameters when imported into Unreal

 on: April 21, 2021, 10:36:15 am 

Hello,

Substance Alchemist allows you to create and iterate on material collections by tweaking and mixing existing materials, or by extracting new materials from scans into Substance Alchemist.

In order to have parameters in your materials you have to expose them while creating substances in Substance Designer (and the Substance Plugin installed on UE4, available for free on their Marketplace), or creating those parameters directly in Unreal Engine 4, in the Material Editor :
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/RenderingAndGraphics/Materials/HowTo/Making_Parameters/index.html

To getting started with Substance designer :

Substance Alchemist - Technical Support - Re: custom exporter problem

 on: April 21, 2021, 09:35:17 am 

Hello,

So the problem with the "hero_alchemist.sbs" and "hero_alchemist.sbsar" is that it didn't have in the graph properties :

• Label: Enter the name of your custom preset that will be used in the Substance Alchemist interface (in your case "hero")
• User Data: alchemist::type=filter

Here's a link to the documentation to avoid missing steps :

Hello,

Can you attach an entire log file (In Help->Export log).
If you can provide also a screenshot of the graph in Substance Designer of your export filter or the sbs file,
and indicate some steps to reproduce the problem.

Thanks

Substance Alchemist - Feature Requests - Re: Export settings Unity Presets are missing the Smoothness (Glossiness)

 on: April 13, 2021, 10:18:18 am 

Hello,

When choosing the preset export Unity Standard the Smothness/glossiness map is stored in the Metalness alpha channel.
When creating a material in Unity in the Metalness slot you should have the smoothness option (see image attached).

Thank you

Substance Alchemist - Discussions - Re: Is Alchemist able to combine (2) sbsars (1) Grout & (2) Ceramic Tile Logically?

 on: April 13, 2021, 10:04:39 am 

Hello,

Yes it can! Just put your Grout.sbsar on top in the layer stack and choose the blending mode that suites you the best. Height Blend mode should resolve your problem.

Thank you

Substance Alchemist - Discussions - Re: Alchemist Emissive support?

 on: April 13, 2021, 09:54:46 am 

Hello,

In order to use Emissive in Substance Alchemist, you need to enable in the channel settings the emissive. Then add a base material and enable the Emissive in the Custom channels parameters.

Thank you

Happy to see you join the community!

This article on the documentation might help figure out why it takes so long:

Make sure you have enough RAM and up to date drivers.

Substance Alchemist - Discussions - Re: How to use custom patterns in Alchemist

 on: March 16, 2021, 10:43:49 am 

Hello,

Happy to see you join the community.

Can you attach the patterns you try to use?

Make sure the patterns you want to use are alpha maps.

If you still can't see anything maybe, the "Emboss Distance" value is too high, try to decrease it.

Hope it helps

Thanks

Substance Alchemist - Discussions - Re: How to create decals using Alchemist?

 on: March 16, 2021, 10:18:55 am 

Hello,

Depending on your needs, you can use the filter "atlas generator" and "atlas Scatter".

If you work with a scan or a picture do not forget to use "image to material (B2M)" before using the atlas generator.

Hope it helps

Thanks
