I can see there's options for HDR color spaces at verious display capabilities but substance itself doesn't seem to display in HDR? Am i doing something wrong?

 

This is on Windows 11

Never got a reply for this, and I’m still confused about it. Blender recently got proper HDR and at this point substance is the main program in my workflow that’s not HDR.

You’re right, Substance Painter doesn’t display in HDR. The final display is in LDR/SDR. HDR is used solely for the internal color space for calculations and rendering.

Ah, I see i hope this changes soon.

 

At this point I can see my assets in HDR in unity, blender, even photoshop finally, but not the texture painting program where could really count.
