Major Features

New Export Texture Window

The export window has been fully reworked to offer an easier and more straightforward way to configure and export textures from a project. It also brings some new functionalities that make exporting much more convenient. The new export window is now divided into three tabs:

Settings

This tab controls the general and specific settings for each Texture Set.

  • New Global Settings
    Global Settings are a set of parameters shared across all Texture Sets. They can be used to quickly assign or update parameters without having to manually edit each Texture Set individually. Global Settings have the following parameters:

    • Output directory: defines the target location where the textures will be generated.
    • Output template: defines the preset to use to configure naming and packing of the exported textures.
    • File type: defines file format and bit depth of the exported textures.
    • Size: defines the biggest texture resolution a Texture Set will be exported at.
    • Padding: defines how information outside of the UV islands will be generated.
    • Export shaders parameters: if enabled, exports a json file storing the shader settings and their Texture Set assignments.

  • Per Texture Set settings and parameters override
    Below the Global Settings is the list of Texture Sets from the currently opened project. The General Export Parameters section displays settings inherited from Global Parameters. It is possible to choose a different export preset per Texture Set as well.

    Clicking on the Pen icon allows to override a specific parameter to change its value. Clicking on it again will disable the override and reset the value back to default (inherited from Global Settings).

  • Choose which textures to export
    Below the Texture Sets export parameters is a list of textures that will be generated. With this list, it is possible to choose precisely which file should be generated by checking or unchecking them. The list also displays the file format and bit depth for each texture, inherited from the export configuration or the output template. Use the pen icon to override the file format and bit depth for a specific texture.


  • Save settings without exporting
    It is now possible to save the export configuration of the project without having to export textures by using the new Save settings button. This is useful when you'd like to adjust a project without regenerating textures which could take some time.

  • Click and drag to quickly enable/disable exports
    Use the Mouse click plus drag to quickly enable or disable Texture Sets and textures:

Output Templates

This tab allows to create configuration presets to name the exported textures.

  • Create export presets
    The Output Template tab is identical to the Configuration tab from the old exporter. It can be used to create export presets to quickly name and pack textures. To learn how to create custom export presets, take a look at our documentation page.

  • Setup file format and bit depth in export presets
    A new addition to export presets is the possibility to set the file format and the bit depth per texture to make sharing a configuration even easier across projects.

  • Control exported textures from the output template
    When setting up the export process, use the new option Based on output template to define texture properties from the export preset.

List of Exports

This tab displays the export process in progress as well as a global summary of all the texture exported.

  • List of exported textures
    The tab lists each individual texture to be exported per Texture Set, taking into account overridden parameters and ignored/excluded textures. This is a good way to make sure that everything is fine before launching the export process. The interface will automatically switch to this tab when the export process starts.

  • Export process and logging
    On the right of the tab is a console that outputs details about the in-progress export process. It will indicate which textures were exported successfully, as well as any warnings and errors. The bottom of the interface also displays a progress bar that gives the current status of the process:

New Decal Layer Mode

There is a new Decal mode available when drag and dropping a material from the Assets. It creates a new fill layer in Planar Projection mode which allows to position patterns and images more easily. To use it, simply drag and drop any material from the Shelf while pressing the ALT keyboard shortcut to preview the manipulator and release the mouse once the decal is where you want it to be. On the release of the mouse button, a new fill layer will be created.

For this occasion, we'd also included 5 decals in the default Shelf selected from Substance Source. If you want to learn more about this new decal workflow, check out this article.

Note:
To make decals easier to use, we'd implemented a new user-data keyword that allows to specify the default blending mode for each channel when creating layers.

New Python Scripting

It is now possible to write and run Python scripts and modules with Substance Painter. We integrated Python 3.7 and PySide2 with Substance Painter, we also provide a custom Python API via the dedicated substance_painter module. Additionally, we took the opportunity to rethink our API from the JavaScript version to make it clearer and easier to use. They share similarities which should make the creation of Python plugins straightforward for existing users.

To learn more about the Python API, check out the documentation accessible via the Help menu within the application.

  • Installing a Python module
    Python modules can be installed in the dedicated Documents folder under the user account, but we also provide a way to add supplementary path locations via a dedicated environment variable to make the setup across a studio easier.

  • Substance Painter Python sub-modules
    The following sub-modules have been exposed (more will be available at a later date):

    • substance_painter.display

    • substance_painter.event

    • substance_painter.exception

    • substance_painter.export

    • substance_painter.logging

    • substance_painter.project

    • substance_painter.resource

    • substance_painter.textureset

    • substance_painter.ui

  • Python interpreter
    A new Python console window is available to try out modules and/or run python scripts:

Improved Bakers

In this release the Curvature baker has been improved and the Ambient Occlusion baker got a few new parameters.

  • New Curvature from mesh baker
    The old curvature baker is now deprecated and has been replaced by the new "from mesh" version which was recently added to Substance Designer. To learn more about the new baker settings, take a look at the documentation page.
    The new baker has the following features:

    • More accuracy: the curvature computed is much more precise and produces realistic values.
    • Mesh contact: interpenetration between meshes now produces curvature information (which was not the case with the previous baker).
    • High-poly mesh: details are now baked from the high-poly mesh directly instead of converting from the normal map.
    • Performances: the new baker uses raytracing to compute details, which means it benefits from GPU raytracing acceleration (RTX/Optix).

    It is still possible to access the old curvature baker for compatibility reasons via the Curvature baker settings. Choose the setting Generate from Normal Map to use the old baker.

  • Improved Ambient Occlusion
    The Ambient Occlusion baker has been improved to support new settings:

    • Ground Plane: simulates a plane below the mesh to create shadowing coming from the ground. For more information, see the Ambient Occlusion documentation.
    • Ignore Backface: there is a new mesh name suffix to ignore specific object when baking the Ambient Occlusion. For example, this allows to ignore floating geometry details. For more information, take a look at the Matching By Name documentation

Improved Mesh Export (with Tessellation)

The export mesh has been improved with new features and settings:

  • Export original mesh topology or export mesh with tessellation
    When exporting the mesh, it is now possible to choose to apply the tessellation generated for displacement effects. Possible settings are:

    • Without displacement/tessellation: export the base mesh without mesh subdivisions. If Apply Triangulation is disabled, the original mesh triangles, quads or n-gons will be exported.
    • With displacement/tessellation: export the mesh with subdivisions. If Recompute vertex normals is enabled, the mesh normals will be adjusted to match the displacement offsets.

  • Scene hierarchy and mesh names
    The original scene hierarchy and the object names from the imported mesh are now preserved and reapplied to the exported mesh.

  • Export with FBX file format
    The project mesh can now be exported in FBX, alongside other file formats.
    Note: Incompatible data with Substance Painter is still discarded during import (ex: skinning, joints).

Improved Automatic UV Unwrapping

The Automatic UV Unwrap can now be more easily controlled with the help of new settings:

  • Use Automatic UV Unwrapping during project creation
    When creating a project, there is now a new setting that allows to enable or disable the new automatic UV unwrapping process. This setting is also available when re-importing a 3D mesh to an existing project.

  • Advanced Unwrapping settings
    Next to the checkbox to enable the Automatic UV Unwrapping is a new Options button. It opens a new window with advanced settings to control the unwrapping process, allowing to preserve existing mesh information at different part of the process instead of always recomputing everything like it did before. For more information, see the dedicated documentation. Current settings are:

    • Seams: defines if the existing seams are preserved or regenerated.
    • UV islands: defines if the existing UV unwrap is preserved or regenerated.
    • Packing: defines if the UV island packing is preserved or regenerated.
    • Margin size: defines the spacing between each UV island (percentage).

New Content

In this release we included a few new materials as well as updated a lot of our export presets to match new software versions.

  • 5 new decal materials
    We added 5 new materials coming directly from Substance Source to try out the new decal feature:

    • Large Rust Leaks
    • Medium Acarospora Lichen
    • Scarce Blood Leaks
    • Small Bullet Impacts On Concrete Wall
    • Spray Paint Tag

  • New Vray shader, project templates and export presets
    In collaboration with Chaos Group we integrated two new shaders that replicate the VrayMtl behaviors. They should provide a more accurate look when trying to match renders made with Vray. Use the project templates to easily setup any new project for Vray. Take a look at the documentation to learn more about it.

  • New Maxwell project templates and export presets
    In collaboration with Next Limit we integrated new project templates and export presets for the Maxwell renderer.

  • Updated export presets
    Many export presets have been updated, mainly to use the new file format and bit depth settings but also to match new software versions.
