How to Transfer Texture to RGBA

I’m baking out textures from a source mesh to a target mesh using the Transferred Texture baker. One of my source textures is RGBA. But when I bake out the texture output is RGB. How can I bake out RGBA? Do I need to link the source texture to an alpha map in the source material? If so, this is quite tedious since I use alpha in both the Diffuse and Roughness maps.

    Hello ​@bnewman_axon,

     

    Unfortunately, the Transfer baker can’t transfer Alpha. I advise you to plug the Alpha in a different map in the R,G or B channel, use another Transfer Baking and finally merge the Alpha with the 1st baked map.

     

    I admit this is tedious, but I currently don’t see another worfklow.
