End of support for Substance models

Substance 3D Designer has removed the functionality to create parametric objects using model graphs (called Substance models). This technology was the foundation for many parametric objects found in Substance 3D Stager’s starter assets, and allowed users to create their own graph based objects which could be saved as an SBSM format model and imported into Stager.

As the functionality for creating these objects has already been removed from Designer, Stager is now also ending support. Functionality will be removed in the next major release of Substance 3D Stager.

What changes will happen in Stager?

• Stager will remove Substance models from the starter assets.
• Stager will no longer be able to import Substance models (SBSM format).
• Existing documents that have saved Substance models in them will need to be converted to standard models for continued use.
• After the removal of Substance model support, existing documents with Substance models will continue to load, but the Substance model will be missing.

How do I convert my Substance models to standard models?

When opening a saved Stager scene (SSG format) file, Stager will automatically detect if there are Substance models in the document and offer to convert these models to standard models. This prompt will also run a second time when the document is saved.

Choose convert all in the dialog to automatically convert all Substance models to standard models.
