Substance Alchemist - Feature Requests - save preset list of layers/filters to process similar images

 on: May 16, 2021, 09:15:01 pm 

I have 10 filters to an imported image (image to material), the thing is I have a LOT of images that are exactly the "same" and need to be processed the same way, same filters, same parameters, because they are too similar. There will be some minor tweaks here and there but redoing everything image by image, filter by filter, click by click doesn't feel intelligent at all.
Is there a way at least to save a preset list of filters to apply to an imported image?

Substance Alchemist - Feature Requests - Re: Non Square Textures

 on: June 23, 2020, 04:56:56 pm 

Hello,

We only support square textures right now. For which usage, do you need to work in 1024*4096 for example?

Thanks

I'm shocked, Algorithmic Substance (unfortunately now Adobe) is not even aware that a lot of environment textures are not square: Tree trunks, leaves... it's not just the road textures, it's almost everything. Check your calendar, it's 2020, the world has moved on from the square thinking.
Don't we all know that the industry standard in plants is SpeedTree? don't we know it works with a ratio of 4 to 1 to avoid repetition on trunks, which is stupidly present is square textures?
Here are a few attachments, do they look square?
That square thinking is quite frustrating as I pay for a long time for a software that I can't use on my textures, I have to do everything manually in Photoshop. I have to create all the normal, AO, roughness.. all of that manually in Photoshop while paying Adobe for nothing.
Yes it's an angry frustrated hopeless feature request. Why hopeless? Coz it's now Adobe, it doesn't care about what customers want. I guarantee that the non square texture processing in Substance will never see the light. Its not the first time this was asked.

In this video he is addressing Maya, I'm trying to create parts of the mesh in Houdini, but the group information in Houdini doesn't translate to anything in Substance Painter, any idea how to do it in Houdini? Do I need to have separate meshes?

I have artifacts on the mesh in Substance Painter, I have baked the textures maps (see baking settings). The original mesh has clean topology, no intersections, but I have those artifacts in Substance Painter. Any idea how to solve that?
