display
display module
This module exposes functions that change how the model of a project is presented in the viewports. They correspond to settings available in the “Display Settings” window.
The Environment Map used to light the scene can be retrieved with get_environment_resource(), or set with set_environment_resource(). The look up table (LUT) used as a Color Profile can be retrieved with get_color_lut_resource(), or set with set_color_lut_resource().
Example
import substance_painter.display
# Show the currently used color profile:
color_lut = substance_painter.display.get_color_lut_resource()
if (color_lut != None):
print(color_lut.url())
else:
print("No color profile is used.")
# Set a different color profile:
new_color_lut = substance_painter.resource.ResourceID(context="starter_assets",
name="sepia")
substance_painter.display.set_color_lut_resource(new_color_lut)# Show the currently used environment map:
envmap = substance_painter.display.get_environment_resource()
print(envmap.url())
# Set a different environment map:
new_envmap = substance_painter.resource.ResourceID(context="starter_assets",
name="Bonifacio Street")
substance_painter.display.set_environment_resource(new_envmap)# Show the currently active tone mapping operator:
try:
tone_mapping = substance_painter.display.get_tone_mapping()
print(tone_mapping)
except RuntimeError:
print("The project is color managed; tone mapping is not available")
# Set a different tone mapping:
try:
new_tone_mapping = substance_painter.display.ToneMappingFunction.ACES
substance_painter.display.set_tone_mapping(new_tone_mapping)
except RuntimeError:
print("The project is color managed; tone mapping is not available")

get_environment_resource
get_environment_resource() → Optional[ResourceID] -
Get the environment map resource of the active project.
- Returns
-
The environment map resource or None.
- Return type
- Raises
-
- ProjectError – If no project is opened.
- ServiceNotFoundError – If Substance 3D Painter has not started all its services yet.
- substance_painter.display.
set_environment_resource
set_environment_resource(new_env_map: ResourceID) → None -
Set the environment map resource of the active project.
- Parameters
-
new_env_map (ResourceID) – The new environment map resource.
- Raises
-
- ProjectError – If no project is opened.
- TypeError – If
new_env_mapis not a ResourceID. - ResourceNotFoundError – If the environment map
new_env_mapis not found. - ServiceNotFoundError – If Substance 3D Painter has not started all its services yet.
- substance_painter.display.
get_color_lut_resource
get_color_lut_resource() → Optional[ResourceID] -
Get the color profile LUT resource of the active project.
- Returns
-
The color profile LUT resource or None.
- Return type
- Raises
-
- ProjectError – If no project is opened.
- ServiceNotFoundError – If Substance 3D Painter has not started all its services yet.
- substance_painter.display.
set_color_lut_resource
set_color_lut_resource(new_color_lut: ResourceID) → None -
Set the color profile LUT resource of the active project.
- Parameters
-
new_color_lut (ResourceID) – The new color profile LUT.
- Raises
-
- ProjectError – If no project is opened.
- TypeError – If
new_color_lutis not a ResourceID. - ResourceNotFoundError – If the color profile
new_color_lutis not found. - ServiceNotFoundError – If Substance 3D Painter has not started all its services yet.
- substance_painter.display.
get_tone_mapping
get_tone_mapping() → ToneMappingFunction -
Get the tone mapping operator used to display the current project.
Note
The tone mapping function is disabled when color management is enabled. In that case trying to call get_tone_mapping will throw a RuntimeError.
- Returns
-
- The tone mapping function currently used by
-
the project.
- Return type
- Raises
-
- RuntimeError – If the project is color managed.
- ProjectError – If no project is opened.
- ServiceNotFoundError – If Substance 3D Painter has not started all its services yet.
- substance_painter.display.
set_tone_mapping
set_tone_mapping(new_tone_mapping: ToneMappingFunction) → None -
Set the tone mapping operator to display the current project.
Note
The tone mapping function is disabled when color management is enabled. In that case trying to call set_tone_mapping will throw a RuntimeError.
- Parameters
-
new_tone_mapping (ToneMappingFunction) – The new tone mapping function to use in the project.
- Raises
-
- TypeError – If
new_tone_mappingis not a ToneMappingFunction. - RuntimeError – If the project is color managed.
- ProjectError – If no project is opened.
- ServiceNotFoundError – If Substance 3D Painter has not started all its services yet.
- TypeError – If
