With the RfSP (RenderMan for Substance Painter) plug-in, you can export Substance Painter projects as RenderManAsset. This format makes it easier to exchange material set-ups . The tool was developed by RenderMan engineer Philippe Leprince and is available on GitHub. – Incidentally, anyone curious about features in the upcoming RenderMan 22 version can already watch a sneak peek here.

Requirements

The plug-in requires the following software versions to function properly:

  • Substance Painter 2.3+
  • RenderMan Pro Server 21.0+
  • RenderMan For Maya 21.0+
  • Python 2.7+ (but not Python 3.x)
