Hello @zapata57,

 

Thanks for the question.

 

The metalness and height map are usually grayscale images and not RGB images. Therefore, there is only one value on a scale of 0 to 255. This scale is simplified with a floating scale of 0 to 1 in Substance 3D Painter, so if you're aiming for a 240 grayscale image, you'll have to set the metallic value to 0.941. You just need to convert the desired value for the 0 to 1 scale.

 

Let me know if you need more guidance,
