baking question

Norw

ok so substance painter give you the option to bake each individual mesh with _low / _high is there another texture software that is able to do that?
thanks

I highly recommend the built-in baker in Marmoset Toolbag 3. It lets you to be in full control of your high poly, low poly and cage meshes with bake groups:

And just to confirm, Toolbag use _high/_low name matching to set up bake groups when using the quick loader.

Plus in my tests TB bakes much nicer AO/curvature maps. Just a pity there isn't a live link or bridge between SP and TB.

Also, TB has an extra '_' tag to further isolate mesh components in the bake group.

but is there a texturing software that have this feature ???

Not like Substance Painter, no.

You can export the maps from Marmoset to Painter as well for texturing, they are relatively plug and play

Yeah, plus 3D preview with realtime edits, cage sculpting, skew correction, etc. Toolbag is pretty cool, but I'm biased obviously. =P

There's a couple live link plugins for Substance tools in our add-on library: https://marmoset.co/toolbag/add-ons/

And I'm gonna have some fun with my RTX 2080 Ti in MT3 soon.

Does it have RTX support now? Our are you just talking baselines upgrade improvements?

Thanks Joe, but it was more the other direction I was talking about. A live link that sets up all the TB bakes in SP. As it is you have to export all the maps from TB and assign them manually. Quite tedious if there are a few texture sets involved, and even more so if there are rebakes required.
