Substance Painter - Discussions - Substance Designer Summer update 2018

 on: July 21, 2018, 10:51:43 am 

I have a question about updating to Substance Designer 2018 Summer release.  I have 2015, which I updated up Substance Designer 2018.1.2 to date. 

Queston 1. I believe that I must pay $75 to update to the "2018 Summer" release, right?
Question 2. Officially my profile indicates I have the 2015 license though I paid the $75 earlier to update to "2016 Spring".  Is there any problem for me now in acquiring the latest update (above)?

Cheers,

Matthew

Substance Designer - Technical Support - UDIM multi-material

 on: March 18, 2018, 09:20:13 am 

I have a mesh with three parts.  In max the cactus is one mesh with max material 1.  The earth = 2, the pot =3.  The uv mesh is set as 1001, 1002, 1003.  Cactus, earth, Pot.  I set up the UDIM workflow in Designer and managed to apply a material to the cactus.  I have been trying to apply a separate to the 1002 (earth) and 1003 (pot) but have not.  Any tips how or if I can do this?

Make some tweaks to controls more directly defining location for darker spots.  Attached is a render directly from Designer/Iray. Started a second thread with new title per contest instructions (could not seem to change my orginal title )

Substance Designer - Discussions - 2017.1 crashes on new material pull-down

 on: July 04, 2017, 10:41:10 pm 

I submitted an official Bug Report but was wondering if anyone else has a crash on creating a new material?

Here was my report:

"...sd crashes on creating new material
crashed 7 times, and I "reported" each when prompted.
Unsucessful in fixing issues, tried:
1 turn off 3d and 2d
2 installed new drivers for gpu
3 set cache for nodes from 2k to 8 and back to 4k
4. increased gpu cache from 2 to 4.
6. closed all other files and start from newly opened Designer on newly restated window.

Restart of computer in between each try.

I am going to use old nodes in Save-as and hope this is fixes itself or you Allegorithmic does...

My last node seems to open well.

Have not tried to create a new MDL material...

The released is the new 2017.1.0

I have a 6800k, titan xp, 32 gig ram g skills 3200mhz..."

Substance Designer - Technical Support - Material made in SD looks flat in SP

 on: March 03, 2017, 08:55:37 pm 

I made a mountainous terrain material in SD that has mountain peaks, mountain base, and bumpy detail.  It appears to be mountainous with height and detail.  Once used from the shelf in Painter it appears flat.

Second photo depicts a cube mesh with my SD material applied on pbr-mat-rough, height force bumped to 8.12 (though it makes no difference) material with the "sludge" parameter changed from light blue to green.  Other exposed parameters (from SD) do not function in Painter.

The first image is a render from SD, of the material as created.  Scale in Iray is bumped to 3 and tessellation at 4, otherwise it appears flat in SD just as it appears flat in SP. ( Another issue is the "mountain" peaks are capped.)

  QUERY: How can I make my Substance Designer material display height and displacement in Painter?  Thanks!
