I drop same texture in base color slot of deault "fill" layer ( right side) and as a texture input for a substance . . Why I see different colors? I attached the sbs file. What did I do wrong? The sbs file have base color as sRGB in the output. I tried linear. Still not the same. I want to make a substance where I could drop packed RGBA files and it would output them into proper Painters channels. But this color gamma issue doesn't let it work properly . What should I set in Designer for sbsar export? Tried sRGB. just raw , linear. Nothing works.

it's "legacy" color managment btw.

Hi,

Your second layer basecolor output is set to auto (linear) color space.

To correct

1. Click on the drop down in Properties next to material and check Color Spaces

2. Twirl open the Color Spaces set which now appears in properties

3. Change the output color space of basecolor from auto(linear) to sRGB

The texture will now match the other material layer which is set to auto (sRGB)

Thank you very much Dave. Coulddn't find this Color spaces check in. Before it was next to each texture input.

Weird thing is I tried to set sRGB in Substance Designer output like it is in all default material presets and Painter looks like totally ignoring it.

Guess I did something wrong there too.

For the second part of your question creating an unpacker in Designer works with sRGB basecolor provided you :

a. Define the input colour space as sRGB for the basecolor RGBA input (in Integration attributes)

b. Define the output color space as sRGB for basecolor (in Integration attributes)

By doing that, when you export the unpacker as sbsar and use it in Painter the output colour space can be left on auto and does not need to be overridden.

(Do this only for basecolor - do not set Normal maps to sRGB)
