Output Size

This parameter allows you to chose the base resolution of images in the graph. Read more about the Output Size.

Default: (0,0) - Relative To Parent

Output Format

Allows to choose base bit depth in the graph, from these options:

• 8 bit
• 16 bit
• HDR Low Precision 16F (16 bit floating point)
• HDR High Precision 32F (32 bit floating point)

Default: 8 Bits per Channel - Relative To Parent

Pixel Size

Defines the pixel size. We recommend leaving both Width and Height values set to 1.

Default: (1,1) - Relative To Parent

Tiling Mode

Defines the base tiling mode in the graph from these options:

• No Tiling
• Horizontal Tiling
• Vertical Tiling
• H and V Tiling

Default: H and V Tiling - Relative To Parent

Random Seed

Defines the base random seed for the graph.

Default: 0 - Relative To Parent

Identifier

This is the name of the graph, and must be unique – you cannot have two or more graphs with the same Identifier in the same package. It is used as the graph's name in the Explorer panel.

Default: New_Graph, or set by user at graph creation

Label

The Label is used instead of the Identifier to display the name of the graph for better readability in user facing scenarios – e.g. Library entry or instance node label.
A label can be not unique, and can contain special characters.

Default: Empty

Type

The Type is used to define the intended purpose of a Substance graph.

It is mainly intended for the 'Send' interoperability feature.

Physical Size

This value specifies the dimension of the texture in the physical world, in X (length), Y (width) and Z (height). It is therefore inherently related to the material which is produced in the graph.

The physical size can be used, for instance, to display the texture at its correct ratio in the 2D View and 3D View.

Default: (0,0,0)

Icon

This area lets you define an icon which will be used by the Library to display this graph's entry, both as an SBS and an SBSAR. The icon is also used in other situations, such as Substance 3D Painter's Shelf.

The area offers the following options:

• Browse: Lets you browse your system files for the existing image which should be used as an icon
• Generate: This generates an icon using a built-in preset of the PBR Render node
• Paste: Lets you paste the image data currently in the clipboard as an icon
• Remove: This option removes the existing icon and leaves the icon slot empty

Default: Empty

Package

The absolute filename for the Package this graph belongs to.

The Folder button can let you open a new system file browser window at this location.

Default: Package filename / Empty if package was never saved

Exposed in SBSAR

This controls whether the graph and its outputs can be viewed in the SBSAR file published from the graph's Package.

This is useful if some graphs in the package are only used as subgraphs for the main graph of the package, and should not appear in the SBSAR.

Default: Yes

Show in Library

Controls whether the graph should be visible in the Library, if the package is stored in a location which is watched by the Library.

Default: Set in the Library tab of the Project Settings

Description

This is the description text of the graph.

It is visible in the tooltip for the graph entry in the Library, any Instance node for this graph, and software with an existing Substance Integration.

Default: Empty

Category

You can this field to set a category for this graph item in the Library.

Default: Empty

Author

You can use this field to put the name of the author.

Default: Empty

Author URL

This field lets you input an URL – e.g. the author's website.

Default: Empty

Tags

You can use this field to add your own tags, for improving the searchability and discoverability of the graph.

Default: Empty

User Data

You can use this field to add your own additional data. This is useful for custom integrations in third-party software. Substance 3D Painter and Sampler make use of this userdata to set certain specific behaviours.

Default: Empty
