Managing Presets | Substance 3D Sampler

Presets allow you to quickly configure your exported file for a given application. You can also create custom Presets to fulfill your needs if you're using a pipeline not covered by the default presets.

    1. Use the Export panel in the Right bar.  
    2. Use File > Export as...
    3. Use shortcut Ctrl + E.
  2. On the left side of the Export window, select Material settings.
  3. Select an image format (EXR, JPEG, PNG, TARGA, TIFF)
  4. The Preset list appears.

Use the Presets dropdown to select a preset, or use the Manage presets button next to the dropdown to manage your presets.

Manage Presets
