Not sure if anyone noticed this yet but what i found is that since my gloss map was the one always cutting off, there had to be something there that was causing an issue. I went in and changed a layer's blend mode in substance from subtract (as stated in the error text) to multiply and it exported fully. Though i still can't get my normal maps to export right so i just use the original flattened export. But other than that, everything seems to be working now, lovin this export to psd!
2.3.1 is here! For this release we've been focusing on axing all the GPU realted crashes and issues people were facing with 2.2/2.3, please let us know if any issue remains.
Changes:
[Plugin][Photoshop] Allow to specify which material/stack/channels to export
[Scripting] Function names had some inconsistencies
Fixes:
[Export] Alpha can be discarded in custom export presets
[Export] Alpha gets incorrect gamma conversion on sRGB channels
[Export] Non-square documents are exported as squared
[Export] Impossible to export additional maps if one is missing
[Iray] Some parameters (like emissive Intensity) have no effect
[NVIDIA] Crash at Startup with NVIDIA Quadro K2200/GTX 750/760
[AMD] Incorrect set of colors for thumbnails and previews
[AMD] Freezes and driver failure on New File and File Open
It seems you guys haven't fixed the bugs with AMD GPUs in this build. I still can't export textures with my AMD GPU. Not just me, my co-workers have the same issue. SP crashes or black textures when exporting bugs still exist.

With my RX480 I had some issues too, but when SP crashes after a freeze during export, I just restart it, load my project and export it right after loading. This way allow me to get my textures when the crash is constant in my projet when I want to export.
Soooo, SP2's base smart materials are "missing" after loading up 2.4 for the first time. The shelf folders are there in the settings and the SPSM files are where they should be. I've typed in random smart materials with no such luck. I might try a reinstall if it doesn't get straightened out on its own.
Is there any way I can change the new 2.4.1 layout to the old 2.2.1 lay out? I don't really like working with the sub-shelves. I've been trying to use the sub-shelves but I just don't like the way the feel while I work. I know I can un-dock the Sub shelves and put them next to each other but having to do that back and forth between different computers a pain when you work with on many different desktops. A way to save layouts would also work.
Ha we thought we had fixed all known AMD bugs in 2.3.1. Did you guys sent a bug / crash report? If so, do you remember with which email address?
I'm currently on an AMD Firepro W9100 and all my maps are coming out black no matter what settings I adjust on the export. Haven't noticed any crashing issues but the texture one doesn't allow me to get anything from Substance, it means passing it off to co-workers on Nvidia cards to export, which is annoying for both of us.
I can't give an ETA on the FirePro support, but that's something we would like to improve. At the moment the software is very unstable on these GPU models.
Substance Painter 2.5 is here! Main new things to look for are Opacity Support for the brushes, Color Management, Text Input Support, Shader improvements, 8k baking and loads of new scripting capabilities. More info on these new features in our blogpost.

Really cool update. But I'm a little disappointed that i cant control stroke opacity with pen pressure. Substance Painter is soo close to being a viable option for handpainted textures.

If you are comparing the feature to Photoshop, then it's just a semantic issue : Opacity in Photoshop refer to the Flow in Substance Painter. The Stroke Opacity can't be linked to the pen pressure, it's technically not possible. (Will be more detailed in the documentation in a few days)
Yeah, i tried that, but it dosen't really act like expected for me, also comparing it to 3d coat. In an ideal world i would love the option to turn off the "None destructive workflow" and have a better "hand paint experience" :P
[Tool] Add a modifier that allow to continue the last brush stroke
How does this feature work? I need to press a key combo to make it work?
You can press and maintain the "A" key to enable this feature. Basically what it means is that you can do a brush stroke on the mesh, and then do an other one while pressing this key. Instead of overlapping the two strokes, they will be combined (as long as the brush parameters are identical). This mean you can paint a surface with the same flow/opacity in multiple times. It's handy if you need to rotate the camera for example.

Could you elaborate on how it acts in a different way than Photoshop and 3D Coat? From our tests, it behaves exactly like Photoshop when using the same opacity and flow values along with pressure sensitivity.
SP 2.5 Crashes on win 7 with old drivers, (2.1 worked fine) and i cant update my driver because autodesk programs will cause a force blue screen restart. any suggestion ? also i noticed baker doesnt work and causing a crash, also i switch to material tab it crashes.
Good work! Unfortunately "match by name" stopped working correctly after the update. Worked fine just days ago. Hope you can fix that fast, since it basically is a blocker for any professional work. Also, are there plans to add heightmap/displacement baking? You added parallax occlusion mapping to the shader, which needs propper baked heightmaps to look good. Baking only this map in designer is not that convenient.

This bug fix means you can now bake meshes will real work values for the ray distance, instead of using relative scale (which is the case by default).
In an ideal world i would love the option to turn off the "None destructive workflow" and have a better "hand paint experience" :P
