Substance Designer Material Import and Saving - Help

shxsy

Hey folks.. I'm trying to understand how to import resources into my package and/or lilbrary, but don't quite understand how it works. 

My example... I've created a height map. I've downloaded some materials from substance source as substance archives. I want to import those into my project to use with that height map. When I import those materials, they import but import as their own packages. Anytime I want to work on the project, I have to re-import those material packages. 

What am I missing here? It seems like there should be a way to have all of these live in one project/package so every time I open the package, all of my support materials/resources are there. Do I need to put those archives into the library?

For the record, I've imported some bitmaps just fine and those live in a resources folder that open with the package.

Any help would be appreciated!

if you drop things into a graph they get linked in as a dependency  - there's no need to import them into your substance package 

you can set up library folders etc. in your project settings if you want them to appear in the quick menus

Cool. I was dropping them into the explorer. Dropping them into the graph seems to do it.

Thanks!
