I have the python path pointed to the same location but I still get errors:

Any idea what is happening?

I downloaded:
MaterialX_Windows_VS2017_x64_Python37
from the github page.  Do I also need to have visual studio installed?

Where do I point the python project path to?

Im still have a hard time getting it to work.

I have tried copying the MaterialX folder to:
C:\Users\{user name}\Documents\Allegorithmic\Substance Designer\python\sduserplugins\sdmatxplugin\MaterialX

and
C:\Users\{user name}\Documents\Allegorithmic\Substance Designer\python\sduserplugins

and I get a bunch of errors in the console

I tried looking at the images of the python project in the doc folder and it doesnt help.  I downloaded the pre-built librarlies and extracted the files into a MaterialX folder.


Thanks

where are you supposed to put the prebuilt materialX files?  The documentation is a bit confusing.

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

 on: December 09, 2014, 06:25:26 pm 

thats not giving the result Im looking for and what should be expected.  I want to be able to add or subtract from the mask that the substance effect is creating.  With your  workflow, I cannot paint black into the white areas that the substance effect mask is creating.  And if I use a white mask, I cannot paint white into the black areas of the substance effect.

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 - Technical Support - Re: Where do I put my serial number

 on: November 28, 2014, 06:21:32 pm 

Painter requires a file that has the license information inside it.  When you install Painter it will ask for the file.  Ive only seen a serial # window come up on Designer.

 on: November 11, 2014, 01:27:57 am 

the latest release has seemed to improve the performance of working in 4k, but its still slow.  The cool thing about Painter is, you can work in a lower resolution, and then bump it up to 4k without losing quality.  Also, if you turn of the "paint in Height" 4k paints really fast.

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.

1st, why would you want the maps exported with the lighting and environment reflection baked in?  Usually you lets your 3d app or game engine add that.

Now, you can mask out the Uv islands and replace it with a grey background in photoshop if thats what you are looking for.
 1. Export the map out of painter.
 2. save out the UV layout in your favorite 3d app.
 3. load the exported map and uv layout into photoshop
 4. use the UV layout to create a mask, and mask out the empty space of the exported map and replace it with a background color.

sure its not straight forward, but it is possible

ok, thanks

ahh that would make sense, thanks.

but with that logic, i would need to make sure all my UV are facing the same direction.  Sometimes, for packing purposes, that might not be possible, hence, having a direction control exposed would be helpful.
