Check: Texture Color Space

Version 0.1.0, Latest: 15/06/2022

Severity: Warning

Error message: Textures of type <type> should be set to colorspace <colorspace>.

Description

The texture map is not set to the correct color space.

Color spaces are used to ensure all parts of the pipeline interpret the values contained in the image correctly. Not all texture maps represent colors, some represent data, for example vectors in normal maps. Most texturing software (Adobe Photoshop, Substance Painter) work and export using sRGB color space.

Texture maps that are not processed as color should NOT be used in sRGB color space. Using sRGB in these maps will result in wrong appearance on the material.

Texture Map Type	Colorspace
basecolor	sRGB
emissive	sRGB
occlusion	Non-Color
roughness	Non-Color
metalness	Non-Color
tangent space normal	Non-Color
world space normal	Non-Color
material ID	Non-Color
mask	sRGB

Automatic Fix

Set the correct color space for the texture map.

Manual Fix

Not necessary.
