    Man this helps so much, and I was about to create a multi directional lighting normal generator myself, the cropping of non square images from a camera saves a step too, and is non destructive.

    Plenty other cool stuff i'm looking forward to playing around with too.

    I definitely want to upgrade to SD6, and I want to get the special upgrade to Substance Live, but my SD5 license is on Steam, can I switch over to using Allegorithmic's site instead?
    Also, just to be clear, I can get SD6 + Live/Source for $75 + $10 for only 6 months and that's it? It's not like a monthly subscription that I have to pay forever, similar to Photoshop Creative Cloud? Will you continue to get Source files after the 6 months?

    I believe you can link your steam id and get a standalone key.

    As for the Live/Source upgrade route I'm unclear on the specifics of that. I'm just going to do the regular upgrade myself.

    You can indeed link your Steam account in your Allegorithmic account on the website to get a standalone license.

    As for Live, it's an alternative to the $75 upgrade. It allows you to pay monthly instead and have access to all the latest Substance tools + Substance Source. You will be able to redeem a standalone license of SD6 after 8 months. 

    You only have access to Substance Source while you're doing the monthly payments, it's a service that's linked to Substance Live. if you stop, you will still have access to the materials you already downloaded but you won't have access to new ones.

    A few questions before I would try the demo.  Could I expect something from those:

    1. Noise patterns  are easily scalable   and  being easily adaptable  to non-square  form factor like Filter forge ones?     I mean not 2d transform but  rather  the scale of procedural details?

    2.  Is it possible to pack and use  depth info and color within shared rgb values in 32 bit range . Depth in values beyond 0-1?   And then extract them to output . Filter forge style too?

    3.  Photoshop things like crop image precisely to required form factor  before output  and "smart" objects  all adjusting its resolution automatically without necessity to inspect all the node tree from the very roots?

    4.Things being scaled around  a center of transforms placed in  a specific position?

    5.   Blender styled conveniences  aka "M" node bypass, auto node connections, groups, context based auto gray-scale vs color recognition  etc.?

    Regarding the command line/scripting aspect we updated Substance Batchtools to version 6. Here is the changelog :

    Substance Batchtools 6.0

    Fixed:

    ○ [Global] Use png format by default for image creation (instead of jpg)
    [Global] Help need to be more explicit (we now use more specific information and provide more examples)
    ○ [Global] Error message still appear even if SD resources path is valid
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Crash with "--switch-to-constant"
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Error when connecting image inputs should be more explicit
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Does not expose parameter/outputs group
    ○ [Sbsbaker] Use powers of two for output size ("--output-size 10,11" now creates a 1024x2048 map)

    Added:

    ○ [Global] Support SD6 new features (sbsrender now use the last version of the engines, sbsmutator now use the new sbs file format and allows to specify a graph physical size,etc.)
    ○ [Global] More flexible boolean parameters (for example "false" can also be specified using "0", "off" or "no")
    ○ [Sbsbaker] Baking resolution up to 8k
    ○ [Sbsbaker] Support non square ratio
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Support graph attributes editing (tags, author, author url, label, category, description, icon, user data, etc.)
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Add "export with dependencies" feature
    ○ [Sbsmutator] graph-parameters-editor is now more flexible (more similar to "specialization"). You can now for example replace image inputs by images
    ○ [Sbsmutator] New edit command (that gather all the possibles options between specialization and graph-parameters-editor)
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Have the possibility to remove outputs on a mutated sbs
    ○ [Sbsmutator] You can now specify several substance files to mutate (using "--inputs")
    ○ [Sbsmutator] Support absolute size with "--connect-image"
    [Sbsmutator] Verbose/quiet modes added

    (...)
    Glad to hear about all the changes and fixes.
    Is it possible now to force 16 bit processing throughout the graph? Even if a .sbs graph root is set to 16bits, I'm getting a couple of issues:

    Issue #1:
    - When 'specializing' a graph, the newly generated graph is always 8bits from start to end (including the main target graph node which was 16bits)

    Issue #2
    - Manually change the specialized graph from 8bits to 16bits and create a .sbsar
    - On Substance Player it looks fine, it's visible using 16bits.
    - Using sbsrender behave as if the whole hierarchy is in 8bits again (actually haven't tried using 'render' with .sbs instead of .sbsar). 

    All the phases for baking, specializing and output/rendering use PNG files. The bakers using Batchtools do work fine and bake in 16bits.

    What gives it away is specially Triplanar projection or other position dependent or uv projection nodes since they require higher precision values.

    Edit #1: My mistake, this can't be done. sbsrender only works with .sbsar files.

    Which seems kind of weird when you think that Designer doesn't need to create and SBSAR to export textures heh

    If you specified absolute 16Bits in your base sbs, the specialized one should also use 16B for this node/what will be generated after it, even if the "specialized" one is set on 8B.
    Just to let you now we are synched : in an internal version we added a "--set-bit-depth" command in sbsmutator. Edit : We will also add a way to set it in sbsrender, however in this case it will only be regarding the output file format (not the substance computation).
    Not sure when it will be published (as we have several things to deal with regarding the Batchtools) but it will definitly be available in a future release.

    Edit #1: My mistake, this can't be done. sbsrender only works with .sbsar files.
    It also relies on the connections you made in your sbs: the bit depth is in "relative to input" by default so you need to be sure you use the one from your graph.
    Using sbsrender (and a format that supports 16b) you should be able to get 16b (quickly tested again on my side).
    By opening you Substance in Designer 6, it can also be a good way to have a preview of the nodes bit depth (by looking at the info at the bottom of the nodes), it can help to see if there is a convertion at some point.

    Regarding renders from sbs files, in Substance Designer the context is different (as it's the authoring tools we have more information/are able to compute or access some datas at the sbs level without having to cook the file), we don't use sbsrender, that's why you can only render sbsar files using sbsrender.

    If you have more feedbacks (/want to discuss more about a specific point), feel free to create a dedicated post (this way we can iterate with files/Q&A). Anyway thanks for the feedbacks!

    Hi guys,

    I'm still pretty new to substance designer so please excuse my ignorance. I am going through the Getting Started tutorials which SD 5.5.1 is being used. In the video he sets up  a graph at 2k resolution. While working in the graph he explains that the default resolution is 256 which is displayed on the nodes when set to relative to parent. I'm using SD 2017. I have a graph set up at 2k just like the tut. However, my nodes display 2048 when set to relative to parent. Was there an update since 5.5.1 that sets the relative to parent to your initial graph resolution rather than the default of 256?

    You now have a way to set the resolution temporarily in the toolbar at the top of your graph view, so you shouldn't have to ever modify the output size in the graph optionsa nymore.
