Ups, after saving and loading again I get this result. The mesh is fully deformed. Before the saving all was ok.


This is the same mesh.  The onliest difference between both is, that the mesh of the pullover is gone through the smooth of the mesh editor before saving, the mesh of the jacket (2. picture) not.

I have been enjoying the pictures you post. Thank you.

I remember learning Substance Designer.  Once you start to understand the basic concepts and how to use nodes, it is a lot of fun.  I am still bad at it, but is is a very powerful tool.

Thanks, Tesira, for your pictures and reports. There is a lot to learn... I have the Substance software, but haven't done much with it.

thanks justaviking and animagic,

yes I have the substance editor also already some time and not done much with it. Will do some more in the next time.

I have now reported a bug https://www.reallusion.com/FeedBackTracker/Issue/Bugs-which-are-hard-to-reproduce-memory-leak
I don't know, if other users this also can reproduce.

I have made a new substance in the Substance Designer. So a new test of the substance and the memory use.
Original Character memory use: 520.940K


Loading Material and activating the Appearance Editor 610.200 K


Deactivating Appearance editor 526.924K
Activating again 610.210K

Changing colors and pattern size


Changing fabric pattern scale


Changing pattern scale


changing hue shift


changing stains parameters


changing hat and shoes material

After all changes and deactivating of the Appearance Editor the memory use is 545.664K. 
So this dos mean, the dramatic increasing of memory use, which I have seen with other substances, has not happened with this substance.
So the substance is the problem?

Does your girl know she's wearing a coat made from a tablecloth? 



I love the pictures you post (and the research you're doing).  Thank you.

Yes justaviking, she knows this and has asked already for more.
So lets look a bit, how we can help her.

In the Substance Designer you have some substance and fabric templates.
So first of all open a new substance and choose the Physical Based Substance template.


Now move the fabric template, you want to use, in the graph editor.


It will not do much, until the channels of the template are not connected with the output channels.


If this is done you see the new substance also in the 3d view. Now you can publish the substance already and use in CC.
Only you will not have some parameters, which you can change in CC.
The next step was the hardest, because I havent found some tutorial for this. So I have tried a lot.
Finally I have found a button between all the possibilities, which in th Substance Designer can be used.
I have klicked at Expose for every parameter, which I want to use in CC.


This has worked. Now I could change all parameters in CC.
Meantime I have learned some more. I have added a blending layer, Tiling, a texture.....


So I hope, the girl will get a new fabric in the next days.

Have a nice day

With right click at the node, you can also go to Expose. There you get a dialog, where you can choose, which parameters you want to change in CC.


And here my new substance - time to go out

Today I have made a substance with a mask and 3 different materials.
Slowly I have so many parameters, which I can change in CC, that I have lost a bit the overview.
It is easy, to change the mask for a other dress.



Have a nice weekend
Tesira

Here I have changed the substance a bit and made a new mask for the Pirate Lady.







Have a nice day
