Environment variables
This page list environment variables that can be used to override the default behavior of the application.
|
Description |
Version |
---|---|---|
SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_LICENSE |
Value: Direct path to a license file itself. Allow to override the default location of the license file. Example : if the license file is on H:/allegorithmic/licenses/substance_painter.key, the variable data should be "H:/allegorithmic/licenses/substance_painter.key".
Note:
Use SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_2_LICENSE instead for version earlier than 3.x (2017.x). |
|
ALLEGO_LICENSE_IDLE_DELAY |
Value: 7200 Specify how long in seconds before releasing a license seat in case of a multi-user configuration. Default is 2 hours (7200s). |
|
ALG_PAINTER_SKIP_CHECK_FOR_UPDATES |
Value : 0 or 1 (1 = Disable update check) Allows to skip update check when the application starts. Disable the What's new panel. |
|
SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_SVT_HARDWARE_ACCELERATION |
Value: 0 or 1 (1 = Enabled) Use the Sparse feature on the GPU. If not supported by the GPU or the Operating System the setting will be ignored. This variable override the parameter available in the Settings window. |
|
SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_TEMP_LOCATION |
Value: Direct path to a folder Defines where Substance Painter should write its temporary files (including the SVT cache). This variable override the parameter available in the Settings window. |
|
SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_PREVIEWS_MEMORY_BUDGET |
Value: 500 Defines the amount of memory (Ram) that the application can use to load and temporary store previews from the Assets window. When the limit of the budget is reached old previews are unloaded. This value only controls the display of previews in the Assets window. The value is defined in megabytes. Default value is 500MB. |
|
SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_PLUGINS_PATH |
Location of additional Python plugins. |
6.1 |
PYTHONPATH |
Additional Python modules to load with the Python integration of the application. For more information see Loading external Python modules. |
|
OCIO |
Path to a config.ocio file which will be used to drive the Color management settings with OpenColorIO.
Note:
This environment variable has priority over the PAINTER_ACE_CONFIG variable. |
|
PAINTER_ACE_CONFIG |
Path to a json file which will be used to drive the Color management settings with Adobe ACE. |
|
SUBSTANCE_DISABLE_SPECIFIC_FEATURES |
Disable several functionalities inside the applications:
|
|
ALG_PAINTER_DEBUG_FPS |
Display inside the viewport a counter of how many frames per second are rendered by the viewport. |
|
SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_VRAM_BUDGET |
Specify how much GPU memory Painter can uses. This define a global budget in MB. For example to define a limit of 4GB use the value 4000. A command line argument can also be used to perform the same action. See Command lines. |
