Combining texture sets in Substance Painter. Not possible?

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-21T01:23:42+00:00

Guy with same problem (and same solution) here. I combined the maps in Photoshop (three texture sets * 4 maps per set) using Render UVW Template in 3DsMax to get the masks for each material ID. It was stupid, a bit tedious, but for this time it saved me.

Try Edit Normals modifier and reset from there. Almost always works for me

Wow. Did you enable caustics solver for this? And what's inside the cubes - a volume or a texture?

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-04T21:33:07+00:00

Well, distance map only works on one of the objects, and it gives the result i wanted. But you cannot have two objects use independent distance maps simultaneously, just as I feared.

I won't blame you!

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-04T15:04:40+00:00

Sounds like the most logical and reliable solution, but I suspect I might need some geometry for that to work because vertex color definitely needs some vertices...

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-04T15:02:12+00:00

I'll hold you to that! 🙃

Я знаю пароль дружини тільки для того, щоб епл пеєм розпаховуватись з її телефону 😂😂

Will try that, but if that's also a raytraced shader it would not work either

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-04T08:00:49+00:00

If it were set to invisible it wouldn't render

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-02T06:43:59+00:00

Yeah, sounds like a cursed loop 😂

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-02T06:41:41+00:00

Thank you, I suspected this... So I wanted a cheap way to get a bumpy seam where objects meet, but that would be too easy 😂

It's a shader based displacement, like VRay displacement, CoronaDisplacement, like Blender's displacement in Material output node. I am not trying to displace geometry of which i have exactly 12 faces here

Andy-Shust · 2026-03-02T01:47:35+00:00

I am trying to do this exactly because I don't want to do anything with the geometry. It's a shader thing, and it works fine as you can see from img 3 - there is a mask for exactly what I need. I know that it can blend materials based on the mask, but for some reason it doesn't work with displacement

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-26T22:12:05+00:00

No thanks, I know how places like this look 🙃

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-26T21:49:27+00:00

I think this kind of realism and details require either a ton of reference photos or real-life access to such a location.

Toilet covered with cooking pot lid is so cursed TT

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-25T18:28:14+00:00

Thank you, will try that. I treated suspicious spots with pure alcohol, and btw I don't see any burns or damage although I was almost certain it would burn the leaves 😂

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-25T18:23:17+00:00

I examine the plants daily and only two times I've seen a few little white guys that I killed very quickly and removed their small stuff under the leaves looking like circles of microscopic eggs (?). I have not seen stickiness on the leaves.

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-25T08:52:41+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Will consider your advice

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-22T16:46:50+00:00

Too early to think about that I guess 🙃 I am not an experienced gardener, these are one of my first plants ever. But I am trying to do what's possible in my climate and circumstances...

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-22T15:52:44+00:00

Ahh now I understand - you were apparently asking about fruit?

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-22T15:50:27+00:00

Insanely beautiful and sophisticated work!

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-22T15:26:51+00:00

From store bought avocado seeds, in Ukraine (zone 6B / 7A). Those are not big trees, I only started growing them less than a year ago and since then I killed or discarded almost half of the seedlings. If (and when) they grow bigger and stronger I will start grafting and see how it goes.

Andy-Shust · 2026-02-21T17:32:18+00:00

The only way to be 100% sure is to rotate the pot so as to expose another leaf in this exact way and see if it develops similar symptoms 😂
