Substance Painter - Technical Support - problem with masks and substance Effects

 on: December 09, 2014, 02:43:03 am 

Im seeing it I add a white mask and then a substance effect to the mask, I can subtract from the mask by painting black.  But If I set my brush to white, I cannot add white to areas that the substance effect has added black.  The inverse is true if I add a black mask then a subatnce effect.

Substance Painter - Discussions - normal directx/opengl workflow question

 on: November 10, 2014, 06:17:20 pm 

when setting the normal to opengl or directx in the project config window, would it make sense that the normal map settings in all the materials and substance effect get set the same way?  If so, currently you need to go to each material and substance effect and set the normal manually.

Substance Painter - Discussions - best way of baking a curvature map for painter

 on: October 29, 2014, 01:41:24 am 

Has anyone had any luck in baking a curvature map for painter using xnormal?  Ive tried using the monochrome setting on the curvature options but the map has allot less detail that what Substance Designer outputs.  I cannot use Designer since we don't have a production license for it (currently using the 30 day eval version), so I need to resort to xnormal.

thanks

Substance Painter - Technical Support - cannot drag and drop if windows are detached from main UI

 on: October 18, 2014, 01:15:28 am 

Im working in a multi monitor setup and have detached my shelf layers and tool panels and moved them to a separate window.  When this happens, you cannot drag and drop textures and substances from the desktop to the shelf, drag and drop from the shelf to the tool panel and you cannot drag and drop layers to rearrange them.  Once you doc all the windows back to the main UI window, you can drag and drop.

Substance Painter - Technical Support - crashwatcher.exe not terminating after closing painter

Substance Painter - Technical Support - stencil do not maintain img aspect ratio

 on: October 03, 2014, 06:17:05 pm 

is there anyway to have a image maintain its aspect ratio when using it as a stencil?  I have some images that are not square (1200x463 for example) and show correctly in the texture shelf.  but when I use it as a stencil it shows as a square image and is not showing at the correct ratio.

this also seems the case when I drag and drop a non square image onto the diffuse channles

 on: October 02, 2014, 01:09:20 am 

I have my filter parameters window detached and on a second monitor.  I cannot drag and drop Effects, stencils, etc.  If I doc the window back to my main monitor, drag and drop works again.

Substance Painter - Discussions - map export workflow

 on: September 24, 2014, 02:27:41 am 

is there anyway to pack channels?
with our engine and shaders we usually pack the the metalness, roughness and maybe even the height into separate channels of a .tga.  Is there any plan for something like this in the export dialog?

Substance Painter - Technical Support - height from lower layers showing through on higher layers in b9

 on: July 17, 2014, 10:23:43 pm 

just downloaded beta 9 and I believe I've found a issue with fill layers.

1. create a fill layer and apply a stencil material with height information.
2. Create another fill layer and apply another stencil material.
you will see the height info from the lower layer showing through onto the higher layers even though none of the other attribute (diff/rough, etc.) from the 1st layer doesn't show through.

Substance Painter - Discussions - remove or replace textures in a project

 on: June 23, 2014, 06:15:23 pm 

is there anyway to remove a texture out of a project?

When ever you make a change to a texture's source, does it automatically update in the project, or is there a way to replace a texture?

Thanks
