Textures from Substance Painter to UE4 Issues

Will Faucher

Hi,

So I have been texturing some assets in Substance Painter, and everything looks great. Then once the time comes to bring it all into UE4, things have been... less than stellar.

So here is a screenshot of my asset in Substance Painter:


And here's what it looks like in UE4, after exporting with the UE4 Preset.


What am I doing wrong? How can I prevent this oil-sludged grossness?

Quack!

Make sure your Metallic, roughness, normal, and AO have the SRGB unchecked in the texture properties in unreal. Your basecolor should have SRGB checked.

With that said, your roughness does seem very dark for a surface that you want to be fairly rough, did the map get inverted between Painter and Unreal somehow?

Anywho, let me know if that works and good luck!

Well the SRGB helped a little bit. Maybe it is my lighting that is making it seem so different. I'll keep playing around with the scene to see if I can get this to work. 

Quack!

Lighting and environment is everything in a PBR pipeline, so it would make sense.  For metallic things, make sure the object has something to reflect in the environment and make sure you have a reflection probe or multiple of them close with a fairly tight radius.

I would check your output log, make sure everything is writing correctly. Also check your maps before putting it in the engine to verify if its the maps, or the engine causing these issues.

Thanks for the help guys, it was a mix of having SRGB checked, and my terrible lighting. I got it all sorted out now and my metals are looking fantastic.
I really appreciate it folks!

Quack!

Sweet man!  Looking good!
