This guide covers the "SimpleDiffuse" generator—a specific tool designed for streamlined stylized texturing in Substance Painter—as well as the general process of creating and exporting diffuse (Base Color) maps for non-PBR or simplified workflows. 1. Understanding SimpleDiffuse
Under , select 2D View if you want exactly what you see on screen, or stick to PBR Metallic Roughness .
A true "Simple Diffuse Substance Painter" tool (or workflow within the full Substance Painter) would include these streamlined components: simple diffuse substance painter

SimpleDiffuse is a smart material generator for Substance 3D Painter. Unlike generic PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials that often require extensive tweaking, SimpleDiffuse is specifically designed to help artists create high-quality hand-painted or stylized textures quickly and efficiently.
For a pure diffuse workflow, (Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height). They're not needed for a simple hand‑painted result. They're not needed for a simple hand‑painted result
Let the soul be clean. Keep it simple. Paint the color, let the engine do the math.
