Looks perfect! As long as it is in there I'm all thumbs up. Thank you!

Honestly, with the rise of photoscanned assets and just larger texture sizes in general (which is good imho) having a larger VRAM pool is really useful if you ask me. Unless you really know you never get OOC / or get close to utilizing the VRAM pool on a 6GB / 8GB card because your projects are that ...

Ah, perfect! Thank you for the heads up! Super excited about it

I suppose in retrospect, sorry for wasting your time on this one. Should have double checked the release notes for 2020.2 .

Keep up the good work!

Hey folks,

So from my understanding the RGB value sampler in the LiveViewer got removed in one of the latest 2020.1.x . It essentially got replaced by the canvas zoom in and zoom out function. All good and dandy but I'd like to start a discussion to bring back the RGB value sampler as I can't help ...

I think the best way to gauge performance is to look at the actual benchmark numbers. Loading something into an 8GB pool will in my opinion not be any faster because of faster VRAM - PCIe 4.0 compared to 3.0 sure but even then I'd be a serious doubter you could ever even prove it as even x8 PCI-E 3 ...

Kudos good Sir, fantastic idea and cool execution!

Hey! Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "functioning the same as in Substance Painter"? Have you tried inverting one of the channels perhaps?

As mentioned by Karu here this is currently a limitation which needs to be solved by adding support for 32-bit float HDR textures. Since this version is feature locked we won't be able to add this to 2020.2 but in a future build.

Yeah I remember his reply, but since it was a while ago (7 months ...
