How to Bake Textures in Substance Painter? | Lesson 4 of 25 | Substance Painter Full Course
Once you have applied the vertex colors and added ID maps to your model and you have already imported it or them to substance painter, you need to bake the textures so that you can get cool PBR results, PBR is Physically based rendering which is an approach in computer graphics that seeks to render graphics in a way that more accurately models the flow of light in the real world. Especially for game design and engines, let's move and check out How to Bake Textures in Substance Painter in lesson 4.

I have learned clo 3D from you, and now I am also learning Substance Painter from you. You are my teacher, and you are the best on KZbin. Thank you, sir.

@@zinteractive I work as a cutting master in a company. Marvelous Designer was the job related to my field, so I chose it, and with your help, I have learned it well in 6 months. Your way of guiding is excellent.

Also, do you have any video on how to create different textures sets and exporting from maya to substance painter?

[@zinteractive]

I will be working on it soon

[@berfinguner3302]

If we merge all the meshes, won't all the UVs get mixed up when we look in the UV editor? Since they will be on the same UV set, won't it cause problems for us? Or will it create a new UV set because we assigned different materials?

[@zinteractive]

In Substance Painter, merging all meshes into a single object can cause UV overlap issues if all UVs are on the same set. However, this can be managed by assigning different materials to different parts of the mesh in your 3D modeling software. Substance Painter recognizes these materials and creates separate texture sets for each, thus avoiding UV conflicts. To do this, apply unique materials to various parts of your model, ensuring each material’s UVs are packed within their own 0-1 UV space. Export the model (preferably in FBX format), and upon importing into Substance Painter, it will create distinct texture sets for each material, each with its own UV space. This workflow allows you to manage multiple meshes and UV sets effectively without overlap issues.

Hi. I exported fbx to Subc.painter. There is warning in Maya: " The plug-in dose not support the following material types: Material will be exported as grey material lambert". I've created 2 lamberts like you. And in Substance painter, after baking I have just 2 colors (2 lamberts colors) yellow and green! I don't know what is the problem!!!!

[@zinteractive]

It seems there might be an issue with the materials export from Maya to Substance 3D Painter. Maya warns that Substance 3D Painter doesn't fully support the material types, resulting in the export as grey Lambert materials. In Substance Painter, the appearance is reduced to two colors (yellow and green), indicating potential problems with material assignments or export settings. To troubleshoot, ensure correct material assignments in Maya and proper FBX export settings, considering material and texture inclusion. During the import into Substance 3D Painter, choose appropriate settings and inspect texture sets for each material. Verify baking settings, check for overlapping UVs, and update software versions. If issues persist, consult Maya and Substance 3D Painter documentation, check logs for error messages, and consider seeking assistance from respective communities or support channels. Providing additional workflow details may aid in a more accurate diagnosis of the problem.

hello everyone I have problems with baking mesh maps on Substance painter. While the software baking mesh maps I got errors that (Couldn't find vertex colors in mesh ... ) and I found some strange stains on my model!!! can anyone help me?! thank you. #substancepainter #3d #3dmodeling #3dmax #help

[@zinteractive]

Baking mesh maps in Substance Painter can sometimes be tricky, and encountering errors like the one you mentioned ("Couldn't find vertex colors in mesh") can be frustrating. Additionally, strange stains on the model after baking could be due to a variety of issues. Let's break down some common solutions for both problems: **1. Vertex Color Error:** The error message "Couldn't find vertex colors in mesh" indicates that Substance Painter is expecting your mesh to have vertex colors, but it can't find any. To resolve this: - **Check Vertex Colors:** Make sure your original 3D model in your 3D software (like Blender, Maya, etc.) actually has vertex colors assigned to it. - **Export Settings:** When exporting your mesh from your 3D software, ensure that you have vertex colors enabled in your export settings. - **Import Settings:** When importing your mesh into Substance Painter, make sure you enable the option to import vertex colors. **2. Strange Stains on the Model After Baking:** Strange stains or artifacts after baking can be caused by several factors: - **UV Mapping:** Ensure that your UV maps are properly unwrapped and have minimal overlapping or stretching. Overlapping UVs can cause artifacts during baking. - **Mesh Normals:** Make sure your mesh has correct and consistent normals. Incorrect normals can cause shading artifacts. - **Baking Options:** Double-check your baking settings. Using high-quality settings for baking, adjusting ray distance, and using proper anti-aliasing can help reduce artifacts. - **Mesh Issues:** Inspect your mesh for any geometry issues like non-manifold geometry, holes, or overlapping faces. These issues can lead to artifacts. - **Cage:** If you're using a cage during baking, ensure that it properly encloses the high-poly details. If the cage is too close or too far from the low-poly mesh, it can cause artifacts. - **Bake by Mesh Name:** Sometimes, baking errors can occur if you have multiple meshes with similar names. Make sure your mesh names are unique to avoid confusion. - **GPU Drivers:** Outdated or incompatible GPU drivers can lead to baking artifacts. Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. - **Texture Resolution:** Make sure your texture resolution is appropriate for the level of detail in your model. Low-resolution textures can lead to artifacts. - **Anti-Aliasing:** Use anti-aliasing options during baking to smooth out edges and reduce artifacts. - **Baking Order:** If you're baking multiple maps, consider adjusting the order in which you bake them. Sometimes, the order can affect the final result. If you've gone through these steps and still encounter issues, it's a good idea to check the Substance Painter community forums or official documentation. Sometimes, specific software versions or hardware configurations can lead to unique issues that others might have encountered as well.

[@mattbrunner1208]

@@zinteractive Excellent teaching and demonstrations all around! Very direct and relevant. I have not been able to get an ID map from your retro-tv other than a red color for every texture set. You suggested on import: - *Import Settings:* When importing your mesh into Substance Painter, make sure you enable the option to import vertex colors. However I don't see that option anywhere in the >> import sequence. I am on ver. 9.1.2 and it appears as if the UI has changed quite a bit and doesn't match Adobe's documentation any longer. Any suggestions?

[@adityaprakash1148]

Thanks a lot for making these awesome lectures for us which are very very helpful for us. I have a doubt - [How to bake an individual material mesh in substance is any way ? like if this t.v have a material inside there screen then how to bake also that insider material? Please help].....

[@zinteractive]

you can apply vertex color in Maya, 3ds Max, or blender on it with different unique color, and when you will bake it in substance designer, it will automatically bake.

Thanks, I will try and if am I not wrong,I think u mistyped substance painter as designer.

@@adityaprakash1148 Oh yes sorry, its substance painter :)

[@electro_editsss]

is it necessary to bake textures?

[@zinteractive]

Yes without that you won't be able to paint over the surface, however, you can disable some channels if you want.
