Currently the only texture mapping option is UV, and it would be very helpful if we had access to some other types. Cube projection mapping would be particularly useful when applying textures to models with visible seams.

I am often have to invert my color from white to black - it would be cool to have some option for quick invert during editing

when I zoom in using the middle scroll it should use the mouse location as the center point.

The other way (the way it does it now) seems to make no sense.

Zoom, move around a bit, Zoom more, bit more fiddly moving.

Finally get the thing you want.

Easy to improve.

I can teach a kid. "HOLD ALT.", "SCROLL TO THING YOU WANT BY POINTING AT IT" I can not teach them the other way, it's too infuriatingly counter-intuitive, and harms productivity, thus is non-rewarding. Tough to teach.

Couple of lines of code :)

Votes anyone?

Vray and Arnold Shader: This would facilitate the workflow a lot.

Because the export of the textures and replace in Arnold or VRay needs a lot of adjustments in the shader itself.

That would allow for instance to create advanced substance materials, with effects driven in real time by painting on a layer (that is set as an image input in the substance).

Need more shader options in Substance Painter including:

Phong, Cook Torrance, Beckman, Blinn, Flat, BRDF, Layered

For example simple holding shift to blur texture

Similar to photoshop where you can paint straight lines by holding Shift

The location: Users***\Documents\Substance Painter\shelf\presets\materials

is no good for me.

I do everything from the D: drive other than run the OS.

Please allow us to change the Users***\Documents\Substance Painter\shelf\presets\materials location to one of our choosing?

There is no room on that drive for that.

It`ll be nice to have a tool to add gradient (ex: black to white from bottom to top of the model), ideally linear and radial ones.

When painting opacity mask, it would be useful to see the transparency in the viewport.
Must have to paint hair, torn cloth, etc

Image based lighting is great, but it lacks a main directional light casting high quality shadows. It would help a lot in model showcasing.

Simialr to photoshop's X shortcut. This would provide a fast way to swap black and white while painting masks.

basically the selection and transform capabilities of photoshop - select an area, cut or copy, paste into same or different layer, use transform gizmo to adjust in either 2d or 3d, release selection.

working with many layers to achieve this is unwieldy.

A Feautre like Lazymouse would be helpful, with it it would be nice to see more brush options like straight lines, dotted lines etc.

I like the way, Substance Designer lets you setup your library by defining paths in the preferences and filtering them.

In Painter, I always have to add the alphas manually per project...

For security reasons, it's not good to always display your email address, when making videos or taking snapshots, it's clearly shown in the Substance Painter titlebar, this defeats many common security measures, and is a bad idea.
