[Solved] Exporting png with transparency

[arumiat]

Hi guys,

 

I'd like to export a png with transparency from 3DC into Unity. From reading I have disabled layer 0 & exported the texture as a PNG file, however the texture still shows as grey when brought into Unity. What am I doing wrong? Pictures attached.

how albedo png texture looks after exporting

 

 

how texture looks in Unity using a Standard shader with transparency enabled

 

(I can see this is of course a texture issue), not a shader issue. I need my png to look like this:

 

Hope to hear,
T

This method worked on my side.

3DC version 4.5.25. GL--non--cuda--64 bit. Whether you have to choose GL over DX I did not test.

 

View menu

Select-- Compatibility Shader

 

Texture menu

Select--Texture export / import workflow-- Gloss/Color Specular

 

Png was exported with transparency. I opened the image in Photoshop. The transparency was there. 

I did not test in Unity but I know the transparency is in the png file so it should work.

 

The metal/roughness workflow with the GGX shader did not work... Since this did not work, I changed to the above settings. I did not test any other settings methods as this one worked out ok.

 

Attached image shows the png file in Photoshop with the checkerboard transparency background.

Thank you David, this worked once I remembered to switch my Unity Standard shader to the specular version
