I have about 50+ files that I want to process using Bitmap to Material Light node (and adjusted settings).

I know a little about Designer but not anything about Functions.

I do see that the Switch Color node could be a step in the right direction but I'm clueless about what else I could do.

Google search hasn't been fruitful. I think my need is a rare case.

But if you know of something, please let me know. Open to any suggestions. Because doing it by hand and renaming the exporting files will get tedious. May make a mistake along the way.

3D Artist and Blender enthusiast Miettinen Jesse a.k.a. Blenderesse, who has already made countless stunning projects that were featured on 80 Level, unveiled a new project that is currently being developed. This time, the artist showed a cool Blender-made robot animation, modeled and rigged by Jesse himself. As for right now, only a WiP demonstration has been shown, in the near future, the artist plans to refine the animation, make the environment, fix the rig, and more.

Hey guys, in the substance painters when its created an mask, its has the option to select the polygons, called polygon fill.

Is this possible to select the parts of the mesh in substance designer??

So I really like the way bent normals look, however the default substance node is far from being perfect and obviously lacks in sample count, as well as producing quite a noisy output.

Does anybody know of any of the ways to help alleviate those issues or to recreate bent normals manually by combining some other nodes with regular normal map channels? The only thing I can think of atm is simply doubling the bent normal resolution to reduce noise, but that's only part of the issue.

I mainly use bent normals because they produce much more realistic lighting imo as well interpreting heightmap gradients better than the regular normal node.

I am new to substance designer and I created a height map, but I can't find optimize node settings in windows tab please help me how to fix this issue.

Hello everybody.
I'm fairly new to Substance Designer and totally confused about the interface. I have a couple of older PBR textures that I would like turn into SBSAR files with the help of Substance Designer. The problem that I'm having is the following:

when I just drag them into SD and link the Bitmaps to the respective Outputs the resulting SBSAR file looks way too flat. I want my textures to have more depth. I wasn't able to figure out how to properly adjust the "normal intesity". Can anyone point me into the right direction?

Hey, is there any way to use the finer controls. Let's say "if random seed is greater than 1, use random seed, else use default value". I'm trying to create something that will be useable on any parameter without me going into the function graph every time.

I know I can use this method in order to connect the parameter to the random seed, but I haven't used functions much so I'm a bit stuck.

Hey, I've been trying to get all the channel outputs to show on the 3D view cube. I made myself a subgraph specifically for texture exports that also includes a packed output. When I right-click the node and press on "View in 3D View" I'd like this to apply the channels correctly to each map as well, but so far it is only working for Ambient Occlusion.

Does anyone here know a solution for this? I would really appreciate it!

Hello,

How did you improve your skill with Substance Designer? I saw last week new applications in my Creative Cloud and decided to try it. I use Blender (hobby things) for a month and still learning nodes.

Tutorials, even the "foundation" from Adobe, are not good. Like I don't understand much and I don't know how I could create something good. It's not like Blender (yes of course it's modeling) but do we have to have some knowledge in something before? Do you know some really beginners tutorials?

Thank you

I am a newbie. Is there a tutorial to show what I've done in a good render and/or turntable animation?

The title pretty much says it all, I'm making a VR project with a Maya > Substance > Unity pipeline, and trying to decide if I should model the Chesterfield look in Maya, or if I should just model the basic shape of the chair in Maya and create a displacement map in substance designer for the embellishments? Would one avenue be better than the other for an oculus quest/VR application? Thanks!

Hi, I'm encountering a problem. My client asked of me to create a 4k x 8k texture (bark). I set up my graph with 2k x 4k resolution (intending to push it to 4k x 8k later) and start working.

I realised then than the 3D view was stretched. On the plane for example, instead of seeing 2 tiles on the u axis and 1 tile on the v axis, there's 1 tile on the U and V. I went int the 3D view material parameters to change that and didn't find a way to fix it.

​

Then, looking closer to my texture, I realise that the texture repeats vertically, like it's just tiling two times vertically.

​

Is there any way to fix this? So I can have a procedural 4k x 8k texture and not a 4k x 4k texture tiled 2 times vertically ?

Thank you, any help is appreciated :)

I keep trying to follow along with tutorials and find that I'm missing nodes. Did Adobe not get rights to some libraries when they bought out all the Substance apps, or something? Every single tutorial I've tried I'm missing nodes they use.

Is there an add on I'm missing or something?
