- Common questions
- How to export the baked maps?
- Is dithering applied to baked textures?
- Should I enable "Compute tangent space per fragment"?
- What are Assbin files?
- What is the bit depth of baked textures?
- What is the difference between the OpenGL and DirectX normal format?
- Why are there strange stretches in my textures after baking or exporting?
- Why is Matching by Name not working with Ambient Occlusion/Thickness?
- Why is my mesh fully black after baking?
- Common issues
- Aliasing on UV Seams
- Baker output is fully black or empty
- Baking failed with Color Map from Mesh
- Black shading cross are visible on the mesh surface
- Mesh parts bleed between each other
- Normal map has strange colorful gradients
- Normal texture looks faceted
- Seams are visible after baking a normal texture
- Seam visible on every face
- Texture baked outside of Substance software looks incorrect
Curvature
The Curvature baker allows to extract a curvature texture. This texture contains cavities and edges information related to the geometry.
The texture properties are defined as:
- Black values represent concave areas.
- White values represent convex areas.
- Gray values represent neutral areas (mainly flat).
Available in :
- Substance Designer
- Substance Automation Toolkit
- Substance Painter
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Algorithm | Defines how the curvature information will be computed on the mesh. |
| Details | Controls how strong the information in the curvature will be. A high value can produce more details but less subtle. |
| Enable Seams | If enabled, the baker will try to reduce seams between UV islands by copying the texels at the borders from one side to the other. |
| Seams Intensity | If Enable Seams is enabled, this parameter controls how strong the seam fixing is. |
