About the Template​

This template has couple of things set up that will make your texturing process easier (especially the RGBA Mask creation). It will allow you to preview your asset as it will be shown in the Genies Ecosystem by automatically setting up the correct color space and display settings.

The Genies project template sets Document Resolution to 4096 and Normal Map Format to OpenGL. In Display Settings, the template also contains an Genies Environment Map HDR image that is specifically set to match the lighting of the Genies in the app. On top of that we edited some Color Correction and Tone Mapping numbers as well as added a Color Profile colorLUT file.

The template also has user0 and user1 channels set up for RGBA Mask creation.

Set up user0 and user1 channels manually​

If you are unable to get the template working, but need to create RGBA Masks, you can set up additional user channels in Substance Painter manually.

Inside the program we are adding two new channels to the project:

  • User0 will define the RGB part of the mask.
  • User1 will define the alpha
