Some questions about Substance Painter

Hi,

I was wondering if that would be possible to copy a layer or settings of a substance effect from one project and use it for other projects?

We can export all channels but can we export particular layers? For example: I have a rusty layer and I want to export it as a map. So I can work with that rusty map in Photoshop then send it back to SP as a layer?

And is it possible to import a second mesh to work in one project? I can't find any import mesh tool in SP. I have to create a new project to work with other meshes.

You will very soon be able to save layers or even full layer stacks to use them later in other projects.
As for adding meshes, you can add a new mesh to your original scene in your 3D app, export the whole new scene containing both meshes and reload it through the Edit>Project Configuration menu.

Be careful that the material names on the original mesh stay the same, so that Substance Painter can still recognize them and reapply the right layers on them.

Alright, so you have to add the second mesh in an external application and then use the "Edit>Project Configuration menu."?

Yes, exactly.

This is great to hear. It's something I'd really missed having previously used Mari.
