Smart Materials Problem in Painter

Mousynca · May 2016

So I have encountered this problem with the smart materials in the Substance Painter. Here is a screenshot:

I am trying to use the Machinery smart material but as you can see nothing happens with the model. This happens with every single smart material, they are simply not working properly. Am I doing something wrong or maybe this is some kind of bug? If so can I fix this somehow?
Thanks.

Check that the tiling isn't set to 3 in the different layers. If it is, set it to 1.
Did you bake a curvature map?
Also, is your Normal map blank?

Seem like the problem was that I had no curvature map baked. Thanks mate, you saved me!

No problem, pretty much all the effects generated by SP derive their info from curvature/AO/position/etc. To get the full benefits of using SM you should bake all maps(thickness only if needed for specific effect) for each texture set.
