Hello there, i searched in the export documentation section but i found nothing relevant, i would like to know what type of texture is being generated by each channel and if it is possible to edit the outputs, as example i just exported a base color map and the output is an 8 bit file, but whats the color profile? and an output normal map apparently creates a 16 bit output file, and this change from channel to channel, how do i know if a channel is being exported as linear or is gamma corrected? I'm using the Default export preset.

Hello @puchingball,


Thank you for the question and sorry for the delay in response.

 

Currently all channels are exported in 8bits SRGB, excepted for Normal and Height that are in 16bits.

 

Letting the user edit the bitdepth or the Color space of outputs is in our backlog and we'll probably work on the feature when we'll work on Color Management, but no ETA for the moment.

 

In the meantime, you can build your own export preset with Substance Designer:
