Mixer Fundamentals: Painting 

Maybe add even more channels like SSS, Opacity, Emissive...

It will need a lot more than that, but its definitely a good start. They need to get back their NDO and DDO capability, ease of use. Substance does have one big advantage atm which is parametric materials with their own unique properties based on what was made in designer.

@@Ro3D_DigitalInsights if they add opacity and emissive and the ability to paint full rgb decals that would be insane !!!!!!!!!!!

Quixel has potential but atm it is far far behind substance painter, there is a lot of basics features that Quixel don't has that make it hard to use in production! What make Quixel attractive right now is because of its free library for UE4 users beside that, it is really feature poor as texturing program! In terms of perfomance Substance Painter is solid, responsive and fast than Quixel when you have a lot of layers! in terms of UI/UX substance has advantage, you can change that to fit your workflow and set your own keyboard shortcuts, in terms of workflow and adaptation this is crucial..! I hope they improve it more and support basics features! Please Quixel team, when importing mesh into Quixel, conserve its orientation instead of using Unity default orientation!

Long before that, proper and fluid tablet support is needed. Texturing without proper pen pressure and functionality is a nono. Currently, it has potential, but its lightyears behind substance painter in multiple aspects. Its not usable in any serious pipeline still. The program is great, but it still needs to unlock its potential that is currently held back. As for baking, baking is not where SP shines, it can do it well, but Marmoset Toolbag is something to match for baking. Baking is not the feature that would make mixer more competetive imo. Its all the other basic stuff they still need to add.

Can't you just use projection, in the mask stack of the paint layer, in freeform mode and play with the offset ?

If I’m understanding the question right, you can add a solid color layer to the layer stack, then you can apply a paintable mask to it and paint in (or out) as you need. Then, you can continue to tweak and adjust your albedo, roughness, Metal was, etc. at any point.

Absolutely! The resolution adjustment in this video is referring to painting only. Upon export, you can set the resolution to whatever your project needs. You can also use lower LODs for 3D assets if your project needs it.

Not sure if this is what you're talking about but.. 1. Create Solid Layer (Or add surface) 2. Add mask stack on that layer (Keyboard shortcut is "K") 3. Click the mask and in the properties panel on the right click the mask component icon (square with circle inside) 4. Select "Curvature" and in the new Curvature modifier, click Default Curvature and set it to edges only and you're done.

Thank you for the input. I will be looking in to it.

It’s available in the Megascans library!

Its very limited, also navigating around with pen is still not fully functional. Very unfortunate. It makes the program all smokes and mirrors for any serious texture painting.

Hmmm, this shouldn't be the case. What file type are you trying to import?

agastya valisetty Yes! Displacements are painted simultaneously too.

Setup (that's the tab next to "Layers" on the right side panel. Then in "type" choose "custom mesh".

@@irenenaya7644 found it. thanks. my mistake was thinking it to be the same as substance painter. So i was looking for the wrong term.
