Substance > Maya - Color Management Issues

Hello!

 

I work in Aces 1.0.3.  I changed my Color Management settings in Substance Designer and Maya to match.

Using Arnold 5.3.2.1

 

When I try to import a substance node, the PNGs and exrs come in as RAW, the chooser bar is red, and a warning tells me the color space is not found.

 

In Maya's Color Management Settings, I added three color space rules, one for PNG one for EXR and another for HDR to direct those file formats to the correct color space, this can't work because "Ignore Color Space File Rules" is checked ON inside the texture file node, so I have to go through each node and uncheck it and reapply my color space rules.

 

  • Am I doing something wrong with exporting my sbsar file from Substance Designer?

 

  • Is there a way to turn off "Ignore Color Space File Rules" globally in Maya?

Why is Ignore Color Space rule  checked on?, should be off by default so you can change it on the fly if needed., the color rules you set are correct.Have you tried importing the textures manually, not the sbsar automated way?

Hey!

 

I don't really know why its ON, my substance color management preferences should come through when I import but they don't seem to.

 

I have to go the substance route, I cant import bitmaps for the workflow I am doing right now.  Thats just what I was asked to do.
