Vray Next - Substance Painter | Ecosystem and Plug-ins

Vray Next - Substance Painter

Substance Painter 2020.1 (6.1.0) ships with VrayMtl shaders for both metallic and specular workflows. You can setup your Substance Painter project using the VrayMtl template, which will configure your viewport shader.

Under the Shader Settings, you can configure the Vray shader for working with VrayMtl.

Note:

If your project was setup to use UV Tile UDIM Legacy. Use the Vray Next UDIM output template.

To export textures for rendering in Vray Next, choose the Vray Mtl Output template.

Maps that represent data will need to be interpreted correctly. Please see the Color Management page for more information.

This example show the Substance Painter viewport using the Vray Metallic/Roughness shader and the Vray render using Maya.
