Need help with Substance Painter's particle brushes

Silversaw · Aug 2020

Hey there!

I'm trying to use the "leaks" particle brushes, but I'm having some trouble with it.

Firstly this happens:

Well my brush is not in Uv or texture space, yet it only paints when used on the UV viewport. Other peculiar detail is, if I start a new project with the same model, then I can paint on the object viewport.

My other problem is. As you can notice the bush doesn't spread, and doesn't give a leak look. No matter how much I mess with the particles values. I've tried everything. Even experimented on new project on a standard cube. And only the "leak" brushes are giving me this problem. All others are working fine both on the standard cube, and on my model.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have baked maps set up, and in the target slots? Particle brushes rely heavily on those to actually work into your model.

also doesn't expect much of them

Yea, I tried both with and without them. Same result I'm afraid...

In your particle settings in your brush, did you set the Normal Factor option to 0?
Also by any chance would your mesh be either super small or huge?

I realize this is a pretty old Query. But in case it might help....I noticed that you are working in orthographic View. I was going through the same problem. However a simple switch from Orthographic View to Perspective view solves the problem for me. Hope this helps.
