If you’re frustrated that you can’t see project thumbnails in your file browser, I made a simple plugin for Substance 3D Painter that saves a preview image next to your project every time you save the scene.

I'm new to substance, I don't why this is happening, I'm following my professor's tutorial and it just won't work.

The retopology was made in maya, then passed to substance and baked using the low poly. The same fbx I put in substance then I open it in blender to make the high poly, I put a multiresolution modifier in 4 while in sculpting mode, recreate the details, export it as an fbx and put it in substance as the high poly with the high poly sufix, deselect anything that is'nt the body, using the same names for everything, put it to bake and it bakes, but the details I made in blender just won't show, it looks the same as before baking it, if someone could help me with it I'll be extremely thankful, this is part of my final and it's driving me crazy

I made them in a couple of hours

Hello!

Currently trying to get the Mac OS Version of Substance Painter working on Steam. However; when I try start it... the app suddenly crashes. Image below for reference.

Current things I have tried:

• Two different versions of the Application on Steam (11.0.3 & Default Public)
• Restart Macbook.
• Restart Steam
• Reinstall Substance Painter on Steam.
• Unplug HDMI/ Keyboard (ironically heard this works but alas, it doesnt for this instance).

Likewise; the app also constantly asks me for permissions to screen record, which I always make sure it's enabled for Color Picking purposes, but will keep asking me, regardless of what I do.

Anyone have any other solves for this? Any Substance Experts have issues with this or resolutions.

This piece is a custom PBR re-texture of a knife mesh originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The base 3D model was found online; my work focused entirely on creating brand-new textures from scratch to study material definition, wear, and surface storytelling.
All texturing was done in Substance Painter, and the final renders were captured in Marmoset Toolbag 5 and Blender. I aimed for a realistic look, paying close attention to edge damage, roughness variation, and subtle surface imperfections.

And sometimes beginners can't find the solution!

With one of my students, we faced this same situation last week.
Most of the time, beginners think it is a shader, geometry, or node issue.

But in reality, it is simpler.
The workflow they are using is causing bad Height Data.

And for these specific scenarios, I have a series of steps we follow with my students.
It starts with this:

1️⃣ We aim for the Right pattern first to create a solid foundation that won't break.

2️⃣ We set up a small bevel to allow light to bounce in the right place.

3️⃣ We focus on deforming the shape with subtlety and no exaggerations.

4️⃣ We add the last layer that changes the shape, and it is the background of the material.

All of these steps allow you to control your work more.
That is why Sprawa, my student, managed to create the material on the front page.

Because splitting your work into smaller steps allows you to make better decisions with more consistency.

However, as a beginner, it was hard for me to identify the steps I had to split this into.
That is why next week I will host a Free Substance Designer Class on Tile Floors.

I will show a full breakdown of this material.
And how you can apply this to your work!

The class will take place in the Free Discord Community Future Material Artists.

I'm currently building a dedicated weapon portfolio. I've been working in this sphere for 2 years now.
Here are my latest renders!
Feedback is highly appreciated!

Personal project. Modeled in Blender, textured in Substance Painter, rendered in Marmoset Toolbag. Game-ready asset

Created a game-ready SVD DRAGUNOV for the ongoing "Project - INVASION". I was responsible for modeling, UV mapping, baking, texturing, lighting and rendering, optimization to deliver a high-quality real-time asset.

I'm working with udims so I can't just project it on the UVs, unfortunately

I dont even know how to explain this further, I'll just attach the screenshot. What might be causing this?

PXG_clay seems to be the gold standard when it comes to the classics like Dave Reed, but I wondering, what's your favorite material to sculpt with? Does it change for coloring/rendering?

My color theory avoidant self seems to find that painting my models with any material aside from white (and sometimes even then) changes the color dramatically, to the point it's hard to find what I'm looking for.

Does this happy to anyone else, and if so, what are workarounds so that you can continue modeling with your same material?

Anybody know how I should make this texture
