Oh, right, Ive only done conversion the other way around. Not sure if there's an automated way to do spec => metalness not involving making a metalness mask by hand. This tutorial covers how to do the conversion manually either way: https://www.marmoset.co/posts/pbr-texture-conversion/
It's fairly easy to make a node in SD to convert Spec/Gloss to Metalness/Rough.. but it won't be fully automated, though. Basically mash your metal parts from the specular texture via mask onto the basecolor texture, and said mask will be your metalness texture. Invert the gloss map for roughness. Finding the metal parts…
Hey @Borx25, thanks for your time. So i tried what you said. This is my exporter settings: If i simply hit the export button, this warning pops up: So i created the required channels and hit the export button again. On the right is my table using the traditional spec / gloss, on the left is the result of using the…
Hi everyone. So i was texturing some stuff for my recent project using the traditional specular and glossiness workflow. I was planning on bringing those textures to Marmoset, but i also wanted to test said textures in the Unreal Engine. I sadly realised that the hours i put into texturing some of these assets could go to…
Borx, thanks a lot for the input. Is that so? Strange if it doesn't work the other away around... I'd love to hear from someone from Allegorithmic about this. I'd hate to redo all my work... (BTW, it's not only table i textured - if it were so i wouldn't bother to redo it).
SP converts from one workflow to the other automatically on export if you choose to export those maps (remember to pick the maps from the box in the right if you make a custom preset, those are the converted ones). So you can work in one workflow and then export to the other.
Thanks, @cptSwing, i guess i'll have to do that... i thought there was another way to convert the maps when exporting them directly from Substance Painter :'(
