How much GPU VRAM do you need to work comfortably on multiple "hero" asset UDIMs in SP? I can barely work on a single 4k 0-1 my gpu is so bad.

post specs or gtfo

you don't need to work at 4k in substance work at lower res then output at 4k

No amount of VRAM will save you from the slow mess that is Adob Substance Painter.

get a better gpu, bad time for upgrade tho,just work one model at time or get scammed paying 700 bucks for a rtx 3060/2060

I have a 1070 and it chugs at 4k after so many layers. It's a program issue and not specs.

do none of you people know how substance works, you do not need to work @ 4k
obviously the performance could be better but if you're sitting there working at 4k upset it's chugging you're a fucking idiot

What's the point in looking at a low res version if you are going to output at 4K.

More than any GPU ever created has.
Substance is a piece of shit when it comes to memory optimization due to the fact it uses 3d point cloud projections for color and mask information rather than pixels.
Everybody in my studio is hoping for some good alternative, with every update substance becomes less and less viable as a character texture painting solution.

And you now that if you work in 2k on a 4k textures a lot of your mask can become pixelated as the upscaled projection locations dont get average but instead stay where you originally painted them?
If you are new to substance dont give out regarded advice.
Ideally you want to work at the resolution you will output out, but substance limitations are technical due to bad code and have nothing to do with any good workflow decisions.
Also fucking good luck using grunges and tillable textures in 2k with height input, then exporting to 4k and realizing the additional height info in mask fucking destroyed your normal map.

bro really need that high performance to apply a grunge mask

How would I know what kind of details I am going to get when I export without autistically swapping back and forth resolutions all the time. You obviously dont do this workflow.
