Substance > Maya Color Management issues

Hello!

 

I work in Aces 1.0.3.  I changed my Color Management settings in Substance Designer and Maya to match. ACES

Using Arnold 5.3.2.1

 

When I try to import a substance node, the PNGs and exrs come in as RAW, the chooser bar is red, and a warning tells me the color space is not found.

 

In Maya's Color Management Settings, I added three color space rules, one for PNG one for EXR and another for HDR to direct those file formats to the correct color space, this can't work because "Ignore Color Space File Rules" is checked ON inside the texture file node, so I have to go through each node and uncheck it and reapply my color space rules.

 

  • Am I doing something wrong with exporting my sbsar file from Substance Designer?

 

  • Is there a way to turn off "Ignore Color Space File Rules" globally in Maya?

Hi @Sonny Angell,

 

Thanks for the message.

 

This seems like a an issue with Maya's Plugin, therefore I'll move this conversation to the Substance 3D Plugin community. In the meantime, I advise you to refer to our documentation on color management to see if you notice any obvious conflict regarding your workflow.

 

Best regards,
