The 2016 YouTube video for using Substance Painter with Poser 11 is gone. So I have to ask: can I easily export a custom designed figure into Substance Painter? Can those new materials be imported back into Poser 11 Pro?

Substance Painter will work with basically any 3d object that you have a UV mapped OBJ file for. So you don't really have to export anything from Poser, just use the obj file Poser loads and go from there. If there is some reason you want to use, say a heavily morphed figure, you will want to export an OBJ thou.

Open Substance, go to new, select the obj file, choose which type of normals map you want in the project and optionally import any textures you want to use.

When you have it painted, or want to test it in Poser, export the textures to wherever you want them to be, open up Poser and set it up. Substance does have an option to export material settings, but I don't use that. It doesn't take long to set up the materials in Poser using PBR maps.

Everything in this scene except the hair (dynamic) and the background was painted in Substance Painter.
