This is gold! I'm enjoying these videos a lot and feel more confident with the software as a beginner. This is a great example on how to minimize learning curve. Great quality content for free, unbelievable. I will purchase a license for sure, when my trial expires. Thank you a lot!

[@adilbachiri1709]

Great tutorial! now here are 2 tips beginners may find useful: 1- When I import my mesh to substance painter some areas/faces are invisible! solution : you're normals are flipped! check face orientation in blender and you can simply flip the normals with alt+n 2- When I bake the maps there are some weird dark shapes showing on my mesh! solution: You need to uv unwrap your mesh before importing it AND make sure the UV islands aren't overlapping

[@noxx4001]

flipping normals is shift + n, no?

[@justme3d]

This course is really good. I love the pace. The explanations are clear even for a total beginner like me. Many thanks.

[@BlenderArcturus]

Problem while importing to Blender : Decays seem jiggly, hard surfaces has problems and some parts of the model seems flat shaded because of textures. How to solve ? : 1-Export the mesh from substance. ( I exported as fbx) : This solves the jiggly look 2-Import the mesh into Blender and apply the textures as usual. (If you don't know how, watch carefully 5:12) 3-Change the color space of the normal texture from sRGB to Non-Color : This solves other problem Note: If you think roughness is a bit off, try changing roughness color space to non-color as well. These 3 solved the problem for me. Thanks everyone for showing me the 1st step. For the 3rd step , the crucial one, you can thank me by subscribing and liking my videos.

[@froztbytesyoutubealt3201]

Note to self, always triangulate your mesh before you export it to Substance Painter to avoid warped textures. edit: I found this out the hard way too.

[@Mrflippyfloop]

100% this. I found out the hard way.

[@Tertion]

ohhhh.... so is this why there is some weird warping, like where the stencils are, when you export the textures and use them in another software ??

[@dreamsprayanimation]

I don't know the context but I was under the impression that good Uvs and normal baking would nullify this issue. I never triangulate my meshes but then again I don't really use Painter for game assets which should always be triangulated anyway before exporting.

[@kimmysander2447]

I would think if you model everything in Quads- which should be standard for most production work, then this would be a none issue.

[@abhilashlr9259]

@Substance by Adobe is there a way to set the render settings back to default? I'm not seeing any obvious was of doing so. None of the camera settings are changing anything while trying to render. I thought maybe I just need a fresh start. - thanks.

Is the export procedure also possible for Maya, because I don't know exactly how to use my exported textures in Maya?

[@Gwinbleyd1990]

Question. If I want to export my textures to the game that doesn't has dynamic lighting. So I need to transfer information from normal map and AO into color map. How can I do that? I understand that I need a baked lighting filter but in this case the texture is not evenly lightened. So how can I get even light on a texture?

[@okamichamploo]

Did the export textures UI change? I don't see half of what's shown in this video

[@dominickcritelli5631]

Is it possible to apply a material back to a mesh in Blender if I unwrapped in Substance Painter instead of Blender? It's a moderate(1.2mil) poly sculpt and I would like to render a static image so I don't want to spend a lot of time unwrapping and uv mapping but I would like more flexibility with cameras and lighting than what's available in the render options in Painter. EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone else wondering. You just have to export the mesh from Substance and reimport back into Blender so it takes the texture map with. Substance made the mesh gigantic though so that was interesting but I just scaled to normal size and everything is good now.

[@miguelpalacios9850]

Hi everyone; I have a problem when I going to export my maps in spec-gloss, just export the normal map and the hight map, the others maps does not apper. It says that the map is on disk, but thats no true. However when I export in Metallic-Roughness, export all maps normaly. Thanks for your help.

[@ObscureHedgehog]

Howdy Substance folks! When I import the textures to Blender, the decal parts have a strange wiggly look to them. Two other people below have reported it as well. How do we go about fixing it? :( The '5' alpha looks fine in the Painter viewport, but it's also wiggly in the UV map view in Painter, just like in Blender.

[@whizkid2000]

Now that you mention it, mine does too.

[@gibbyfx]

Having the same problem aswell. I think its a problem from the model they provided. I think the UV maps and version of the model from the course videos it's different from the one we downloaded on the website.

[@rahulpaul.3d]

Holy crap me too...

[@sspyrshlsx3740]

Yes! It happens on every export setting. The texture just exports wiggly. Is it something with the UVs of the mesh provided or am I missing something?

[@gruffelwop6767]

So i think i found a way to fix this. You need to export the mesh from substance painter (under file -> export mesh, btw it doesnt matter if u apply triangulation).Then import the fbx u just exported into blender, apply your textures and now it shouldnt be wiggly anymore. Edit: If your lenses dont have a texture, just apply the body texture and for blender i think its best to set the padding to diffusion and dilation (at least cgmatter did that)

[@whizkid2000]

At 5:07, how did you so quickly click on Principled BSDF to choose the textures and have them auto mapped to the inputs??

[@cjot89]

If you have Node Wrangler addon instaled, you select the principled shader and click on "Add Principled Setup" and magic happens, the short cut in Mac is ctrl + shift T...

I have exported the textures to use in Blender. However, the decals look wiggly. In Substance Painter the UV Map for Base Color also has wiggly lines, but lines look straight in the viewport. In Blender though the decals look wiggly just like the way it is in UV Map. Only decals look wiggly though, everything else works fine. Why?

[@robindelaporte7352]

Something that I don't understand, if I paint a 2k texture so less detailed than a 4k, and then I export a 4k texture, it will be more detailed than the 2k I just did?

[@Substance3D]

Yes! Because it recalculates everything at 4K. The beauty of Painter's non destructive workflow!!

[@MagicSwordFilms]

Wait hold on, you were using 2 different UV's?? Did the first part go over how to set that up?

[@Substance3D]

It's explained in the first part, when "Texturesets" are mentioned.

[@DeathMetalJunkie666]

You can assign different materials to your model in whatever 3D Software you use and unwrap them separately. Substance then considers each material a different texture set.

[@muhsinhameed5446]

Hi, when i export the textures, the decal font "5" seems to be squiggly, like the lines are up and down and it is more apparent when i assign textures in blender. Anyone face any similar issue?

[@wes.mcdermott]

Hi, I am sorry you are running into this issue. It could be an issue with the topology. From Painter, use File>Export Mesh and check apply triangulation. Use this mesh in Painter with the textures.

[@oneIT-69]

Cant find the Emissive channel texture in my file directory but in substance it shows it exported it, is it normal??

[@Substance3D]

It is ok :) In this case the export preset had an emissive output but your texture set settings didn't have an emissive channel.

[@jimmy-k6770]

Sir what should I do if I see glossy normal maps in blender .

[@Klarified01]

It could be that you are using your normal map in sRGB mode. Change the "Color Space" to "Non-Color". So the whole process is in the Shading tab: > Shift+A --> "Texture" --> "Image Texture" and choose your normal map --> set "Color Space" to "Non-Color" --> Shiftt+A again --> add a "Normal Map" (the node is called Normal Map) --> Connect texture node (first node) to Normal Map node (second node), and Normal map node to the Principled BSDF

[@Tyzygy]

Really good course, I've wanted to look at Substance Painter for a while and this course has given me a really good overview of what it can do. I have a couple of quick questions though: 1) I imported the 3D model into Blender to take a look at it and noticed the lenses were their own object in the file tree, why does it show up there in Blender but in Painter only the Body and Legs are shown? 2) I've noticed Substance has been giving Blender a bit of love lately in their videos, any chance of proper plugins for it like there is for Maya, UE, Unity etc? There are plugins made by a developer called Xolotl so I don't see why they can make a plugin but Substance can't?

[@Substance3D]

1: a slightly different version of the mesh was used in the video. It's of no real concern for the texturing, you can just split it yourself if you need this. 2: I can't say very much but we're looking into this for sure.

[@Mr.Pump1990]

Hey! Thank you very much for this helpful tutorial! :) But i still have a question. Is there an option to merge different texture sets together when exporting?

[@Substance3D]

Hey we used to get this question a lot, it turned out in most cases it was because people were splitting up objects into sets to hide pieces (meaning they don't really want to split and merge, but rather hide in the viewport). We have geometry mask for that now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inikhKh_fLiIpNU Is there any other reason you would want to merge texturesets?

[@Mr.Pump1990]
