So when you setup a shelf in Painter on your network it's a folder full of multiple folders such as materials/brushes/alphas/filters etc. This is all contained within a folder titled 'Painter'. So do studios really all have a 'painter' folder somewhere in their project? In my experience studios tend to place their…
You know the 'material' folder within the Shelf? Is it possible to point that to another folder outside? For example say we have a 'Textures' folder somewhere else in our project?
i symlink the relevant folders including the material folder to the designer shelf folders. we have two parallel directories, sbs and sbsar. one for artists (sbsars) and one for tech artists (sbs). the shelf that is hooked up in designer for artists and what is symlinked for painter is the sbsar folder.
I think I understand the confusion, currently capone your folders are setup outside of the normal Substance Painter folder structure. If you want your subfolders ie. Concrete, ceramic, fabric they need to be within the relevant folder within painters file structure. So putting Concrete outside of materials will not result…
Thanks. Part of what confuses me is that we initially started using substance designer only and making tiling textures. So going forward, we're going to have to move all existing tiling textures made in substance designer that we previously had in a folder called 'shared' (within the specific project) into the material…
Ah yes I mean SBSAR file, sorry. It can't find my SBSARs. Yeah I'm not adding individual folders, I just want to see my own substances in Painter without placing them in the 'materials' folder in substances default shelf. I think I'm partly there in that I'm created my own folder. Check the address folder at the top, I've…
Same as poopipe on my end the only problem that you may run into when doing it by just exporting to the folders from designer is that you need to commit the change on some source controls. On ours painter won't recognize the addition until your native folders match the server folders. Again though just importing as a…
Exactly what poopipe said, in our project folder we have a "Substance Painter" folder which houses all of the folders for the different shelf options. Inside those there are subfolders for specific things. For instance, we have "Bolts" and "Rivets" sub folder inside of "Hard Surface" and the entire thing is active on our…
Yet importing it puts it into the materials folder of my custom shelf. So think could be a HUGE penny drop moment for me, is that what you're all doing? Importing resources every time you want something to be stored in your shelf? Because I've been hooked on this concept that you publish substances to a specific folder and…
