Substance Painter - Discussions - Roughness Disparity Between Live Paint view and Iray

 on: October 09, 2020, 11:37:41 pm 

It seems to me that the difference between the paint view and iray has grown with regards to roughness. I cold be wrong, but I feel like the live view used to have a much more accurate representation of how roughness would look in a renderer, and now a value of 0 roughness still looks pretty flat (rough) in the live view. Then when you switch to iray looks super smooth and glossy.

This is super annoying, and I feel like this is recent.

Substance Painter - Feature Requests - Keyshot Plugin Sucks for Multi Udim Workflow

 on: May 19, 2020, 06:52:09 pm 

So I would imagine the plugin to be great if you are working with regular texture sets, but if you are working with udims it sucks. You have to know what parts of the model go with which udims. So basically you have to either open up your modeling app or painter to figure out which udims go with which parts and drag and drop that way. Slows the entire process down, a lot.

Substance Alchemist - Technical Support - Spec Gloss SBSAR Broken Across Substance Software?

 on: May 09, 2020, 03:13:11 am 

So I made some materials (a crap ton actually) in Alchemist in SpecGloss. I exported them in SBSAR and none of them have any color info. Every one is black. So I created some materials in MetalRough and exported SBSAR and they are fine. So I exported the metal rough to SpecGloss as sbs file, and all the dependencies exported properly. I open the sbs file in Designer, and export as SBSAR file and none of them have any color info. I even went and manually set the color profile for each texture. I have attached log files for both alchemist and designer.

Substance Alchemist - Technical Support - Alchemist export very slow

 on: May 06, 2020, 01:51:48 pm 

Is there a way to get alchemist to use more resources when exporting? It exports so slow and then when I check task manager it's barely using any resources.

Substance Alchemist - Feature Requests - Bulk Exporter

 on: April 29, 2020, 10:43:13 pm 

Exporting materials one at a time sucks. I want to be able to export a project or even a folder would be better than one at a time. Seems like a no-brainer.

If I try to use the brickwall generator it always makes the material super dark blues, reds, and greens. My almost white material becomes almost black. all the time.

Substance Painter - Technical Support - Projection Painting Causing Weird Issues

 on: September 01, 2018, 08:08:20 am 

So I'm projection painting packed displacement maps onto my model (ie. R channel=Displacement, G=Tertiary, B=Micro)

FYI, I changed the base color to be RGB16F.

This is the first time I've tried to use substance for this. Normally I use Mari.

I keep getting these dark coffee stain looking marks on the mesh. I'll go back and clean it up only to have them appear somewhere else on the model. I can't seem to figure out what's causing this to happen. I have attached a photo of this.

Any ideas or thoughts?

I am exporting from Zbrush 2018. Any reason this would happen?
