Export workspace | Substance 3D Viewer

The Export workspace allows you to export high-quality renders of your scene. 

Export settings

Before hitting the Export image button, you can adjust the following settings to control what Viewer exports:

  • Format: Select the image format.
  • Transparent background: Select whether the background is exported as transparent. This option is only available for file formats that support transparency.
  • Show 3D model to image overlay: If you've generated an image using your model, you can toggle this checkbox to switch between exporting the generated image, or the model by itself.

Render settings

For the most realistic results, you can turn on Ray tracing under render settings. Turning on ray tracing enables the following options:

  • Render quality: Change how many samples are used to render the final image. More samples means a higher level of quality with less noise, but it also means longer rendering time.
  • Remove noise: Run a denoising algorithm on the render to reduce the amount of noise. This is particularly useful on lower quality renders.

Export history

See a list of previously completed exports. Hovering over an export shows options to open the exported image or the file location.
