Installation

• Click on "Releases" on the right and download zip
• Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Addons
• Press Install...
• Select the archive

In 3D view press N. You'll find new buttons in the menu on the right on the "Substance" tab

Usage

• Put objects you want to texture into a collection and give them materials. Individual materials will become texture sets in Painter! If an object doesn't have a material it will be created automatically
• Click on the collection you want to texture in the outliner
• Press the Export and Open in Painter button
• When you're done, export textures from Painter (Ctrl+Shift+E), and press Load Painter Textures in Blender ✨

Tip:

• In Blender you can link objects to a collection instead of moving them if you hold Ctrl when you drag them in the outliner. This way you can create collections specifically for Substance Painter export and group assets however you like!

Preferences

In the addon preferences you can configure:

• Substance Painter Path (in case it wasn't automatically detected)
• Textures Path. Path to the directory where all of the subdirectories for collections will be created. Leave blank to create them in the same directory as the blend file

• Windows CC Substance Painter
