Substance 3D Viewer (beta) gives you the power to quickly view 3D models from your local library of assets with the Files workspace.
Open Viewer to get started, then:
-
-
Navigate to the folder containing 3D models that you’d like to explore.
-
Click Select folder to confirm.
-
Viewer loads the first file it finds in the folder that you selected, and automatically opens the Files workspace.
-
In the Files workspace, you can click a 3D file to open it with Viewer or click on a folder to explore further. Folders have a folder icon, and an arrow indicating that they can be opened.
-
Use the Sort options to change how files and folders are organized.
-
Once you’ve opened a folder, use the Back to folder button to return to previous folders.
-
With a file open, you can switch to other workspaces and make changes, then return to the Files workspace to continue exploring.
Note:If you make changes in another Workspace, then return to the Files workspace and try to open a different file, you will be prompted to save your changes before the new file is opened.
-
Once you’re done exploring the folder, you can open another folder or file with the Options button at the top right of the Files workspace.
