Substance Painter - Discussions - Re: Icon Change

 on: June 25, 2021, 06:32:19 pm 

"Icons" that you can only distinguish by the letters in the icons. And not even the letters are making sense to me...

This is coming from the developers of design software. Congratulations, Adobe. I'm not surprised.

Substance Painter - Discussions - Re: Paint brush not working

 on: June 22, 2021, 12:11:32 pm 

paint brush should work by default so far I know but it's not.

We can't help you with a more than vague description like that. List each single step you have done, what buttons you have clicked in what order, and/ or post screenhots of your layer stack and settings.

First, start by posting a log file (Help -> Support -> Export log) so we know your system is capable of using Painter. Many problems posted in the forum and related to paint not being displayed in the viewport come from trying to use the application on a computer that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements.

Substance Painter - Baking - Re: Weird Normal Transition Between Seams

 on: June 14, 2021, 10:54:44 am 

The visible seam in the normal map itself is not an error, but happens due to the orientation of the UV islands. What matters is what it looks like in 3D view.

Substance Painter - Discussions - Re: Change the obj of the current project or copy existing layers into other project

 on: May 22, 2021, 04:26:38 pm 

- to replace the OBJ: Edit -> Project Configuration -> 'Select' button. If you have painted manually, this only works correctly if the new object is in the exact same location in 3D space as the old object (bounding box cannot change).

- to copy exisiting layers to a new project: put all layers into a new group, name the group, then create a smart material from it (right-click the group -> Create smart material). Open the new project, then drag-and-drop the new smart material into the layer stack.

Substance Painter - Baking - Re: UV Map to enlarge the area.

 on: May 21, 2021, 10:28:27 am 

Is that area encircled in red 0-1 UV space? I don't use Max. You obviously need to adjust the UVs to the UV space, not the other way around.

Explain what the actual problem is your are trying to solve please, your question itself can't be answered because it does not seem to make sense. You don't get enough texture resolution?

Substance Painter - Technical Support - Re: My painted layer moved on the UV, but I haven't changed the uv.

It doesn't matter what the UVs look like, what matters is only the location of the objects in 3D space. Because manual paint strokes are recorded in world space, strokes will shift if the bounding box of the object is altered.

Meaning, you cannot move the steering wheel like that without losing manual paint strokes.

Invert the normals in Blender (right-click -> Mesh Tools -> Flip normals), and make sure transforms are applied (Object -> Apply -> All Transforms). Re-import into Painter.

Importing a PSD with separate layers is not possible.

Substance Painter - Discussions - Re: Easy way to create multiple straight lines

 on: March 31, 2021, 05:47:35 pm 

Create a black-and-white image like the one I have attached (load it into a fill effect on a mask), then simply adjust the tiling of that image.

You could also create a substance in Substance Designer, so you can adjust the width of the line ect in Painter directly.

Substance Painter - Automatic UV unwrapping - Re: Part of exported texture wobbly

 on: March 24, 2021, 11:32:23 am 

Textures align to the UVs. If the UVs are 'wobbly' (or distorted compared to the actual polygons), so is the texture. This is normal. It will look ok when you apply the texture to the object in your rendering app.

Substance Painter - Technical Support - Re: Applying Subsurf Modifiers Before Baking

 on: March 05, 2021, 05:49:23 pm 

Painter can't import or read a subsurf modifier. Modifiers like that are native to your 3D modeling application only.

You need to freeze it/ convert to actual geometry before loading it into Painter.

Substance Painter - Technical Support - Re: Cannot run Smart Material

 on: March 03, 2021, 11:16:35 am 

does anyone have the same problem?

Someone might be able to help you if he knew what that problem actually is.

Describe your problem in detail, tell us what you have done so far and what isn't working as expected, post screenshots of your project.

Substance Painter - Discussions - Re: How to paint highly detailed screw in Substance Painter

 on: February 25, 2021, 07:06:09 pm 

Can you show screenshots of what you have right now (UV layout, close-up of the texture)?

If you have a good UV layout, and 4k is not enough resolution, use UDIMs. Or map the screws onto small planes with alpha and separate UV layout.
