Batch Channel Packing With Automation Toolkit

Hi,

I am trying to automate batch channel packing textures. Basically, I want to take a large batch of textures with various channel packing types such as [texturename]_BC, [texturename]_R, [texturename]_RMA, [texturename]_ARM, etc and re-pack the channels into [texturename]_BC_AO and  [texturename]_N_H_R based on the file name. The issue I'm having is the import and organization based on the file name. Is there a way I can use the Automation Toolkit inside Substance Designer to achieve this result? Thanks

Hello @XtraChase,

 

Interesting question.

 

To achieve this goal, you'll need to create a graph batching the inputs how you want, and turn this graph into a .SBSAR

 

After that, you can create a script calling sbsrender and using your new .SBSAR to automatically batch your textures depending on their names.

 

Best regards,
