Opacity map - PNG not exporting RGBA (alpha channel)

[alelordelo]

Hello guys,

Im tried to export an opacity map, but cannot get a RGBA (alpha channel) working.

Bellow are my settings, and end result (showing that alpha channel was not exported).
I tried with different files, all downloaded from substance source, and that are guaranteed to have an alpha channel for opacity.

Is this a bug? What should I do?

What are your substance painter export settings?
By default and opacity map is exported as a single channel greyscale texture, so that basically is the alpha you're looking for, it just doesn't contain the rgb values. Those would be in your basecolor texture.

I am having this same issue. It worked yesterday. What I did was bring in my mesh with PBR - metalic roughness. Baked the mesh maps. I then in shader settings, changed to pbr-metal-rough-with-alpha-blending, then added an opacity channel. On the material layer, I added a material, added a fill layer above it, set the opacity to 0. Added a black mask then used a brush to make holes in the mesh. When I went to export textures, under texture sets, the material had the opacity channel map added as a texture to export.
I did the same thing today and now it will not create a opacity texture. The only difference was that yesterday, the pbr-metal-rough-with-alpha-blending had behind it (outdated version). Unfortunately when I went back today to do it again, it no longer states that it is outdated and I am wondering if that is the problem.

Hi, thanks for helping!

This is material downloaded from Substance Source:

I just opened on Substance Player, and exported (settings on original post).

But the exported opacity doesn't have Alpha Channel (RGBA), just RGB.
