I dont get why my metallic maps are black in UE4?

Stewart774

So I'm using a Metal/Rough workflow in painter and in UE. I'm using the environment map "bonaficio aragon stairs" because its at the beach and my scene is at the beach. and lastly I pack my Roughness, Metallic and AO into one map and its definitely hooked up correctly. Yet my metallic looks completely black in UE. Here it is in Painter




and here it is in UE4.



Does anyone know what I need to change to fix the front bumper/Wheels?

Thank you

Are you using the packed export preset? Filtered the metallic channel (blue) to the metallic input in the shader?

Disabled sRGB on the texture?


Questions like this should go in technical talk section.

Sorry my mistake.

and yes it’s hooked up correctly and I’ve disabled sRGB, that’s why I’m so puzzled

I had this problem before, and here's an answer that worked for me.

Didn't solve the problem unfortunately, thank you though

It worked you just need to add reflection capture inside ue4 cause metallic property depends on reflection
