Substance Painter Ultimate Bridge

Substance Painter Ultimate Bridge is a tool allow you to export the models to substance easily and import substance textures and create the shaders for any render engine, supporting naming shaders and masking ids on export and auto import multi-shaders all textures/UDIM's to the render engine of your choise.

 

overview

 

UDIMS (and some new presets) 1.4

optional export mesh tools

 

 Render Engines supported:

-Vray (PBR and Ref/gloss workflows)

-Corona Render

-ARNOLD

-RedShift

-Scanline

-support UDIM's all render engines

 

-Exporting automation 

-assigning standard materials for export (random colors)

-optional auto unwrap 

-Export obj or fbx

-high poly id random colors for masking.

 

Importing shaders Featrues:

-Multi Render Engines

-multi material imort (batch importer)

-Smart (&open to edit presets) can support any render-engine or any Texture/shader painting app or any export presets out of substance or even another texture painting app.

whats really special about this Tool is Editing or adding presets is very easy to match your needs or workflow, presets are separated text files.

-Auto gamma correction overrides for all gray textures (can be edited in the preset turn true or false for each map type).

-adding color correction presets (can be edited in the preset turn true or false for each map type).

-shader importing all or selected

-Normal multiplier adjastable for all imported shader/shaders.

 

textures supported and naming:

-for normal uvs -no udims- export settings naming should be "$textureSet_Diffuse",$textureSet_Normal , dont inculde "$mesh" in the naming(meaning texture will be named "a_Normal")

-for udims: "$mesh_BaseColor.$textureSet" , $mesh_Normal.$textureSet(meaning texture will be named "a_Normal.1001")

 

Ref/gloss: maps supported(vray-corona-std presets): (Diffuse,Reflection,Glossiness,ior,Normal,Transmissive,Emissive,AnisotropyLevel,AnisotropyAngle)

PBR maps (vray metl/rough - Arnold -Redshift presets):
(BaseColor,Metallic,Roughness,Normal,Transmissive,Emissive)

 

can add more in the presets -or mail me to request a preset .

UDIMS setup :

-for 2020 and above : 

due to multitiles workflow changed in 3ds max

if the mesh named "x"so the map will be named : "x_Diffuse-1001","x_Diffuse-1002","a_Diffuse-1003" and so on.

so when exporting from substance :naming should be like "$mesh_BaseColor-$textureSet" , $mesh_Normal-$textureSet

the "-" workflow will work with any max version just make sure u have no "-" dashes on the naming.

-2019 and older :if the mesh named "x"so the map will be named : "x_Diffuse.1001","x_Diffuse.1002","a_Diffuse.1003" and so on.

so when exporting from substance :naming should be like "$mesh_BaseColor.$textureSet" , $mesh_Normal.$textureSet

-"-1001" naming should work just fine this way works with any presets any max version.

- the old multitile worflow ".1001" will work just fine in 2019 and older.

Shater autorig update 2.2

workflow, some of the new features.

whats new?!

*Guide (Mostly foolproof -proof against misuse-  edits)

-added Unit setup auto to cm (Try making your model close to real world scale to avoid problems later stages even Lighting need close to Real world scales -always select your meshes and hit "Model select&cleanup" too).

-mirroring you can edit left side only of the guide , rightside will be frozen , just hit "mirror guide" when you happy with adjasting your guide.(model must be on the center)

-added fingers spacing angel adjastable.

-Fingers guide also changed default for ease of use.

 

*Rig

Fingers controller minor changes on looks and locking some unneeded rotation axis for ease of use and foolproofing only.
Hands ik parented to hips controller by defualt when you hit "link arms" and resetting pose to Tpose working fine (if you plan to change links you should freeze transforms after so resetting to Tpose to work without issues)

*Finishing Tap

-Auto skinning button added with 2 options

auto :which get the mesh you selected and prepared on guide tap) and add skin to what you selected there. (which can contain eyes and meshes you don't need skin mod on but you can always clean later)

selected: add skin modifier to selected mesh only.

please unfreeze models b4 adding auto skinning

*note : this is basic skin modifier , Autorig just adding the skin bones for you , you need to adjast your skin (vertex weight/vetex painting/envelopes).

*same as old version skin bones are collected on a layer and on selection set for ease of use too.

 

*optional tap

optional tap is mostly about saving time changing controllers.

- shape thickness change on selected to edit your controllers shapes fast. 

you still can always replace the shape controller by picking any other shape while selecting the controller you want to change and hit "replace control"

 in this video i show multi ways of changing controllers or edit them without affecting the rig functions or causing errors/bugs.

olso i'm showing how to get better fingers control and ease of use.

setup: replace old files.

for all shater autorig users , mail me if you have trouble updating or you havn't got the mail.

better ways to invisticate lights on your scene.
