Starfield Substance Painter DDS Exporter

Starfield Mod Page

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4891

A Substance Painter DDS export plugin to automate the PNG to DDS conversion.

Mainly made for making Starfield modding easier via DDS creation, but could be tweaked in the future to be more modular and dependant on export presets. No more spending 20 minutes manually converting those 20 different maps to DDS via tedious steps in PS/Intel/Paint.net etc

Installation:

Extract the starfield-dds-exporter.py into your Substance Painter Plugin folder:

C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter\python\plugins

(Can also be found using the Python > Plugins Folder button in the top row)

Export preset:

Move the Starfield.spexp from the optional files to this folder:

C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter\assets\export-presets

Enable the Starfield-DDS-Exporter under the Python menu

First time running the plugin it will ask you what folder the Texconv.exe is located in via a UI pop-up. This will create a Starfield-DDS-Exporter-PluginSettings.ini in the plugin folder with the settings saved.

Dockable widget with output terminal and basic settings

Dependencies:

Microsoft Texconv (Download and extract to whatever folder you want)
