Substance Physical Size

[Christian_Garimberti]

Hi, watching and matching the physical size of some Substance materials, i have to ask what represent the third value, and why sometimes it is not related to the one i can read in the substance library.

For example:

In Vred

In Substance:

I'm curious about:

Where i should (if i sould...) use the third one? Bump? Displacement? Texture Projection...

And why are there some differences between what i see in Substance an what i read in Vred? With the Aluminium Braide one i can suppose is the conversion from mm (shown in substance) and cm, the internal unit of substance, so 1mm became 0,1 cm in Vred.

But in the other one, the 3D mesh.... what i see is 5mm in substance and 1,5 in Vred.

P.S. i remember a video where @seiferp explained the physical size fro substance in Vred but i cannot find it... or it doesn't exists... 😀

Thank you in advance

I think this is only some metadata anyways. We just read what is in the substance file. Not sure how their website is created, maybe it involves some manual work an someone used a wrong info there.

Thank you @michael_nikelsky . i will try to check what is written inside the sbsar file to try to understand if it is the web library that is wrong or if it is wrong what is read from Vred.

OK, checking directly the sbs file, i could tell that the web player is wrong... and what i see in Vred metadata is ok!
