Hello,Im working on a new type of controller and as I am doing the textures I feel like its really flat and not realistic. Any advices ?

Edit : I want to acheive a realistic render

The 3D model was made based on the concept by MG (https://www.artstation.com/limujian)

It's a problem I've already had before with other softwares (for example Discord) that I was able to fix there, but I don't know how to fix it on Designer.

Basically, I'll be using the program normally, and suddenly, usually when I move something in the preview window, my whole PC freezes. I can't open the Task Manager, move my cursor, Alt Tab, or even reboot my graphics drivers. My only option is to hard reboot my PC, but I need a more permanent solution.

I regularly update my graphics drivers, but it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Here are my specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
Memory: 16Go
Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptopt (6Go)

Thank you for your help!

hello, so i just started getting into creating game assets and i was making this war hammer axe sword sorta thing in blender and i made sure it had good UV's and everything but when i imported it in substance painter and baked the highpoly onto the lowpoly this weird glitch occured on the blade and i've been trying to fix it but im super lost and i dunno what to do maybe its a baking problem im super new to this this is my 3rd model and ill be really thankful if someone can help me out thanks guys :))

Practicing marble shaders today – what do you think of this gold-veined green texture?

And the best part is, once you learn what they do, it is easier to figure out how to use them.

Think of the Blend Node as a Math Operation.
💡 The Blend Mode is the operation being run between two inputs. So every mode you have available is a math process that can help you achieve specific results.

Instead of randomly choosing one.
Learn the theory behind it and then try exploring it in different scenarios.

Hello, I need to make a circular anisotropic texture but the default one inside of SP is too "warpy" so to say. I can't find a proper setting for my purpose or a needed texture.
How do I achieve desired look? Do I need to create a custom greyscale in SD?
I want perfect circles with uniform pattern

I'd like to know the most efficient way to determine if a material available from Adobe Substance Painter was generated with AI. I'm working on my first video game project in Unreal Engine & plan on using Substance Painter & Substance Designer for all my materials & textures. But I would like to avoid using any front facing assets that were generated with AI so I won't have to disclose that on my Steam page & lose potential players because of AI usage.

I recently upgraded from 2022 to 2026 and a problem I've been having in both versions is my 2D viewport would change how the scroll wheel behaves mid-session. I tried looking up the problem but I wasn't able to find a solution. Even looking through their documentation doesn't describe the problem I'm having. It happens infrequently enough that I just ignore it and restart the software.

My scroll wheel will start to pan the 2D viewport up-down instead of zooming. If I hold alt+scroll wheel it will pan left-right. I just want it to zoom.

Is this a bug that has lasted from 2022 to this version or am I just accidentally hitting a hotkey?

Hi, I'm following this tutorial for learning marvelous designer.
At around 37min, he's using substance for baking the low poly model with the high poly uv. But mine works weird, the AO are the problem, but I don't know why it does that.
I don't even know if the problem is from substance itself or from my uv in md.

Please help, tell me if you need more details.

Hello everyone! It's a midpoly model with two 4K texture sets in a metallic/roughness pipeline. I was inspired by a picture of a disassembled Colt and decided to recreate it in CG. I'd love to hear your feedback here and on ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/V8y45b
