Yes, I know about that part but what I was asking is there a way to auto load ALL the maps for the entirety of the figure?  Like point at a folder or go to a folder and "select all" and have it assigned or at least each UDIM map like Torso and have all the needed maps assigned to that part (Diffuse, Bump, Normal, Gloss....) or do have to load each map one at a time?  

Source... After 22 years at the helm of Allegorithmic – first independently and later within Adobe – and three decades in the CG industry, Substance 3D creator Sébastien Deguy has announced he will soon leave Adobe and step away from 3D texturing entirely, saying he is "closing this chapter of [his] career and life."

I enable the "Import Tiles as UV Sets" setting and everything loads correctly. What happened in your case?  

Has this always been the case or is something broken in the latest version? I saw the video but I don't quite understand the problem.

I have a character that uses UDIM and I need a proper way to load up all maps for him (Diffuse, Normal, Bump, Specular and Gloss maps) and for all parts (Head, Arms, Legs and Torso) and then need some advice on how to make sure when I'm trying to heal up noticeable seams I have the correct settings turned on so all the update brush strokes to the maps are applied correctly.  Thanks so much Richard 

i think this was moved?? the original post was issues with surface detail , i used voxels to recreate the original mesh that was in the image , while doing so i added resolution to the mesh and the mesh became very blocky , carlosan said it was due to voxel mode and then a restart i recorded this footage of the voxels smoothing like normal     715808993_Desktop2025-04-2523-56-02.mp4.558bed91240518ac8b19ffe2196b0c3b.mp4

What exactly?

I wanted to do that before too but the upgrade button will be inactive until they'll release the next stable version. At first I thought it was because I couldn't upgrade at a set time in the year (december was what I preferred) But the positive side of this is that they won't take our money and give nothing back, then it would've just been a maintenance license or something. It's less convenient than it could be, but it's still one of the best business models of 3D software if we're not counting blender They're getting the next stable version ready ASAP!  

Hi there !  I wonder if it could be possible to have other blend modes than the standard triplanar fade we have when using cubemapping, especially with stencils. Since they can often be in grayscales, it might look better if the blend zones use for example a min/max logic, where brightest pixels stack over darkest ones. Tell me if you don't see what I mean ^^"

Oh hey, I have overlooked that. That is great. I was surprised Maya uses an QT UI as well.

Gonna try that, but I might have found a bit different way - probably won't work for every piece of sculpt, but I'll be fine with that. So, the way would be - Plain mesh(no details) > Auto retopo > Sloppy UV's> Baking> Painting(Depth Only)> Paint mesh to Sculpt mesh> Reprojection to lower res copy of the object. I might combine this with Zbrush Noise maker, but that won't be needed for most parts, I guess.

Hey there! Sorry if this is the wrong place, it is more of a general dev question: is it possible using the API to grab a render or screenshot, and the current view + camera data? If it is possible I'd be happy to create a "grabdoc" like feature. I know there is grab depth along Z but I would like to grab a screen-space view of the current camera and use it as a stencil. Reasoning being: I am processing some scandata and I love how well 3DC handles the dense geometry with texture mapping baked into the voxels (yay!) but there is usually an empty side of the object. The easiest way to fill this empty side in is to switch to voxel mode, sculpt it a bit, and then stamp on a projection texture from a textured side of the model. I am also aware of the paint mode transform texture tool, which is very similar to what I'm wanting to do here, but it only works in paint mode and doesn't make a stencil. The functionality is less generically usable than a stencil because it's baked into the tool as a sidebar, I love the effort being put into python lately because it allows me to smooth over my own art workflows from the difficulty of the UI similar to how toolkits like HOPSCutter for Blender are specific UI setups built around a specific thing you're doing. In that case, it's a scalpel for boolean hardsurface. I think exposing more python will allow the community to grow their own workflows that will take away a lot of the frustration. For a feature like the grabdoc tool, I imagine I'd need api hooks to: - get the viewport camera - render out PBR maps from the viewport ( albedo, metallic, roughness ) to a textureset - Reload those textures as a new stencil with full pbr maps

oh ok, you means this? no worries i was just saying and nice! i didnt see the previous about python , other than allowing users to write their own addons , are there any other benefits of switching to python?

It is not a release, it is a BETA. things not working as intended because we are migrating to Python (as you can read previously) to let the users create their own addons. This is the function of the free beta release.

2025 .01 is probably the most unstable release so far... lots of things not working as intended ...    hopefully they release a stable version soon that hasnt had any new features and just allows the software to work as intended 

yes, download manager it is not working. with the release of version 2025 all the system is under revision.

That does not change the fact that 3DC is closing when I click update manager and auto update site doesn't show up. Also, I've been using auto update to jump between different versions without a problem.
