Hello! Im trying to integrate susbtance to my shotgun pipeline with the @Diego_Garcia_Huerta tk-substancepainter but every time when I open substance painter I get this error: “[Plugin - shotgun_bridge] Shotgun engine | Shotgun Substance Painter Engine connection was lost. Restarting engine…” And …

Just for information, it’s now possible to use directly the Painter Python API and the Qt embedded in Painter 6.2.0 so the tk engine for Painter can be made much simpler, without any need for a separate server. Diego’s engine is a very good base to do this ;).

Yeah it will be way simpler. I actually have a prototype for this (I was too excited not to try when it came out), but unfortunately the python API has not catch up with the qml API yet, so I could not get all the features that are needed… Said this, they are adding more and more vey quickly, so I i…

We did the simplification, yes, and it went well, but we just have the very simple operations like open and save for the Painter project, no management of the exports yet.

Hey all, Any recent work on Substance Painter toolkit? It’s a key part of our pipeline so we’re trying to figure out how to get everything working with recent releases. Jesse

We have submitted a PR on github making the engine compatible with Python 3. Diego has not responded on it yet, but I think it will be beneficial to get more eyes on it anyway. If you’d like to give it a spin… Edit: so far we tested with 2020.2.2.

Awesome, thanks! We’ll take a look :slight_smile:

Btw the script path for Substance has changed, it is now \Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter\plugins

I know this is from a long time ago, but has anyone tried converting the engine to use the Python API. Is it worth giving a go?

Seems like it would be a lot more straightforward. We haven’t tried it yet. It might be a weekend project, I don’t really know the surface of this plugin.

We have been looking into this and trying but I think we came to the conclusion there are a few things missing in the Substance Python API. I can ask what it was we ran into, this was pretty recent.

There’s a high chance the solution for tk-photoshop would work for tk-substancepainter if the frameworks were also updated and made compatible with the engine.
