Triplaner pixlate

Community Beginner ,
Feb 23, 2022 Feb 23, 2022

Hi, I put a triplanar in my generator to project the output of the work as a triplaner .. but the output of the work is in pixels.
I searched the internet and saw some people saying that the position map should be 16-bit. So where do I change the bake settings in the substance painter software so that the output of this process is a 16-bit map?

Pixelated results with generators/filters is related to a loss of precision/bit-depth at some point, it can be either:

  • the Substance graph isn't 16bit (or more, mask sure to force the bit dpeth before cooking the graph)
  • the input bitmap (bakes) are not 16bit

You mention that you baked in 32bit, but not which file format you used to store the result. If I recall well, Marmoset Toolbag doesn't support 16bit pngs and TGA is 8bit only as well. So make sure you use an appropriate file format.

Set the graph bit-depth to absolute then choose the precision you want, which should be 16bit minimum:

Actually, I took it in Marmoust software and baked 32 bits there! But it is still pixelated.Screenshot 2022-02-24 092139.png

My graph in Substance Designer is as follows:

I saved the file as a PSD in Marmoust software, so it has the ability to save a 32-bit file. How do I convert a graph to 16 bits?

I have a similar issue, except I am only using default substance painter materials.

In the Steel Dark Aged smart material, the Finish Rough filter on the Metal fill is set to UV projection by default.  When I turn on Tri-Planar, the projection turns into a larged pixelated pattern. I authored a 16-bit PSD and plugged it in as a Custom Grunge, and the result is simlar to the default grunge. The pixelation is being projected into the normals information.

 

I have also baked out a 16 bit normal map just to be sure, and the results are the same.

If you bake your textures with Painter, just to test, do the issue remains ?
