Substance 3D Stager

Some sort of discount for having both plans
I mean after having personal feelings and then reading the comments of other users, being a ux designer as well as freelancer during a pandemic I can honestly say paying $30 for the cloud and another $40 for this is incredibly steep and also undesirable, when they’re free programs that like unreal engine, free (exceptional quality) quixel assets and blender or finding a combination of cheaper workarounds with lesser known options. Part of being a small business I have to evaluate my priorities and paying almost $100+ a month just for one brand of software isn’t the most attractive or…

Save custom render settings
It would be great if I could save a custom render preset that overrides the camera size default, CPU threads and number of samples instead of having to manually type all those options every time I want to make a render.
Thank you.
3 votesThis should be relatively easy to add custom render setting presets! However camera size is not currently attached to the render settings since you can do multiple resolutions at the same time with different cameras. We will evaluate!

Animated camera movement/Objects.
Im not looking to create a movie but it would most definitely be a welcomed feature to bring more life to pieces. simple camera movement along a rail or animated zoom, even animated bobbing and resizing of objects
2 votesWe see animation as an important part of the vision! No timing or announcements yet, but we have thoughts!

UV editing tools
When you import a file from a CAD file, there are not necessarily UV's or those come from the parameterization of the nurbs.
in a number of cases these UV's will not be suitable.
The built-in auto-generation tool can help then but again there are cases where the job won't be perfect.exporting these UVs for rework in Photoshop is useful, but we would have thought that some additional tools could be integrated into Stager. At least to "sew" some "islands" in order to better master the continuity of the mapping. The goal is to be able to manage a…
2 votesThank you for the suggestion! Agree, some basic UV editing and management would be a great addition!

Support Windows Server installation to allow Cloud Workstation on AWS Nimble
Hi Guys
With lockdowns and working from home becoming the normal, studios and artists are moving their workstations to the cloud and connect from any low key laptop or computer. I routinley work like this, especially that as an indie artist it wouldn't make sense to invest in tens of thousands to purchase several RTX cards machine and instead I utilise the cloud to pay for what I use only when I am using it. The options on the cloud are much better of course.
To that extent I use AWS Accelerted Computing instances, these are Xeon workstations with 1,…

Shifting camera view
In some cases for architecture rendering it could be a great help to shift the cameras view -without tilting the cam or changing the eye level. In other apps you can choose a bigger view but mask out only the wanted view to render (save render time). I made some pics to let you understand from a photographers side. Real estate and architecture)
Would appreciate it much!
Have a nice day

Stager available as a standalone subscription?
Stager is not available as a standalone subscription. Compared to animation and game development, the presentation of products and architecture is far more based on ‘standard’ materials and there is less need of painting, wear and tear and develop of new materials (Pt, Sa and Ds).
A Stager only subscription would be far more fitting for (small) product design & architecture studio's / freelancers and would be a welcome addition to the available subscriptions.1 voteThanks for the request! I’ll pass this to the pricing/sales side!

CAD import for non-Enterprise plans
Unfortunately CAD import only seems available in an Enterprise Plan, this seems to conflict with (small) product design & architecture studio's and freelancers all in need for a good materialization and render program, whereas traditional 3D studio already work with programs having those functions (Cinema 4D, Blender, 3DS Max etc).
Off-course the Substance suite is big value for those studio’s too, but I would say (small) product design & architecture studio’s and freelancers have a bigger need for a program like Stager.1 voteThank you for the request! I’ve definitely heard a few times that CAD import can be of value for individuals! Will review!

Render every layer as a psd / png file or batch .ssg files
Hi, I have different bottles in one file, the only difference is their label.
All lights, cameras, and other stuff are the same.Now I have to press render for the bottle "Label A" then click on the eye symbol to deactivate the layer, then click on the eye for the bottle with "Label B", press render, and so on...
In PS you can select your layers and right-click "quick export as png", it saves every layer as a png file with the layer name.
Watching render ~50 bottles in 5 languages with a lot of clicks :(

save stager models with texture info on a local library

1 voteThanks for the suggestion! We do hope to support local library for organization at some point and saving models, materials, and other assets makes sense!
