Answered: Quixel Suite - Multiple Meshgroups to one Texture(atlas)

Twister3

Hey guys,

is there a way to have multiple meshgroups on one texture? For instance: When texturing multiple rocks I usually unwrap them in a way that they all fit onto one texture. I would then texture them individually.

Now when I import my fbx with multiple objects into DDO, they are read as different meshgroups, which is fine because that allows me to hide the meshes I don't want to texture at the moment. However, when I export my textures, it creates four separate textures (albedo, roughness, metallic, normal) for each mesh.

Is there a way to have all albedo maps onto one albedo, all roughness on one, etc.? So basically have the four maps for all rocks?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, no - you'll need to combine these maps yourself, manually. Each mesh group is treated as a separate object. If you plan to atlas them, it would probably be a good idea to keep them as one object and put some XYZ world space distance between them (as in move them in X, Y, and Z) before exporting to DDO. Sorry about that!

Oh that's unfortunate! Maybe something for a future release?

Anyways, thx for answering!

A bit late, but you could export the meshes as one group, texture them, and seperate them afterwards into seperate files.

That's what I mentioned before.
