This page regroups information about the settings section of the export textures window. This section allow to configure the composition, size and location of the textures generated by the application that will be exported.

General and Texture Sets configuration

The first element of the window is the list of Texture Sets on the left. The Global settings section allow to specific common parameters across all Texture Sets. This make it easy to adjust a single set of settings to apply or any Texture Sets. Each Texture Sets can then specify its own set of rules as override. For example setting 2048 as the export resolution in the global settings and 1024 as an override for a specific Texture Set.

The checkbox next to each Texture Set name signifies if the associated textures will be exported or not.

The dropdown menu allow to quickly modify the selection with Check all, Uncheck all, Invert all actions.

General export parameters

This section contains the shared settings for each textures that will be generated:

Dithering

Exporting textures in 8 bit can lead to banding in gradients. This is especially noticeable with Normal and Height maps. There are two ways to solve that issue: using higher precision or compensating with dithering.

Higher precision (16 or 32 bit) is ideal, but this may not be compatible with all application. Game engines notably will compress to 8bit in most cases. Dithering introduces a slight noise which mitigates the banding issue while still using 8 bit of information.

Texture file formats

Below is a list of all the file format supported by the application:

Output maps

This section list all the textures that will be generated based on the current export preset. It indicates the texture name template, the file format and bit depth, and the color space as well if Color management is enabled.

This section allows to disable the export of specific files or to override the file format and bit depth.

Export USD asset

Checking this box will allow you to export in USD format. Unlike the USDz (Apple AR) preset available in Output templates, this export will take into consideration any template or parameter you've configured for your export. The following files are exported when you check the USD asset box -

• A folder with texture maps
• A .usda which points to the texture maps folder.
• An optional .usd that assembles materials and original mesh file. It can directly be used in Omniverse to show your mesh with materials applied automatically.
• An optional .usd which creates a file with the mesh used in project. It is exported only if the original mesh file is not a USD or if Painter's auto-unwrap was used to generate UVs.
