Please add these settings to preferences. Having to change the shader parameters back to my preferred settings ie, OpenGL etc each time I swap shaders in the 3D View is annoying.

Currently, when you use spacebar search feature to add a new node into your graph while having an input/output connecting line selected, it adds the node at the half way point of the selected connection line. It would be nice if it added it relative to your mouse cursor instead. Sometimes your graphs become so large that you have to zoom the graph view out and then back in pretty far to select the node you just added and then drag it into the position you originally wanted.

Would it be possible to make the nodes using custom parameters more clearly visible when using the Using Custom Parameter search function of the Node Lookup Tool.

At the moment they're rendered as normal with the others being dimmed. This works if there aren't that many nodes in a graph, but when the graph is fairly complex these can be difficult to see. Something like a yellow border around the highlighted node might help greatly in quickly locating them.

Substance Designer

SVG could be used for more than just flat shape masks.

Several Substance Designer tutorials appear to be a long series of steps in which people painstakingly create shapes in SD with gradients that could be achieved in seconds in a vector program and imported as an SVG, if the SVG node handled gradients.

I tabed 2D/3D view, and primarily stay with 3D, but EVERY TIME when I click some node, it switching active 3D tab to 2D — extremely annoying !

please make a way to open new substances in the old as preview or copy nodes especially if there are no new nodes. I currently am using both 5.6 and 6 and it is a nightmare

Coming from archviz I found very useful the option on a material to bevel hard edges without going through the high/low poly baking process like in vray
http://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY3MAYA/Round+Edges

Being able to bake additional UV channels into a texture that can be used to generate flow maps, uv texture maps and other methods of distorting a texture to fit a UV map of a mesh. For a detailed description of a different use of this, read: http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications/2011/gdc_2011_grimes_nonstandard_textures.pdf

They go into the shader side implementation of these ideas, but some do apply to Substance rendering too. It has similarities to Tri-Planar shading, where other data is used to map textures to a mesh.

Thanks!

Currently its like working on the whole map isolating the rest of the areas using mask. I would like to create a small object like screws regardless of position, the final output can then use to move transform to place it wherever needed.
