Non Square Textures

[ZenPiPs]

Hi!

Is it possible to work with non-square textures (like 1024*4096)? (Or Export non-square textures)
Thanks

Hello,

We only support square textures right now. For which usage, do you need to work in 1024*4096 for example?

Thanks

A road texture, a wall texture, an architectural module.  Any environment texture basically since 1x2 form factor usually better suites repeating nature of things.    We use square textures only for unique unwraps.

Hi !
I work with SpeedTree and therefore for bark/trunk, I need non-square textures.

I'm shocked, Algorithmic Substance (unfortunately now Adobe) is not even aware that a lot of environment textures are not square: Tree trunks, leaves... it's not just the road textures, it's almost everything. Check your calendar, it's 2020, the world has moved on from the square thinking.
Don't we all know that the industry standard in plants is SpeedTree? don't we know it works with a ratio of 4 to 1 to avoid repetition on trunks, which is stupidly present is square textures?
Here are a few attachments, do they look square?
That square thinking is quite frustrating as I pay for a long time for a software that I can't use on my textures, I have to do everything manually in Photoshop. I have to create all the normal, AO, roughness.. all of that manually in Photoshop while paying Adobe for nothing.
Yes it's an angry frustrated hopeless feature request. Why hopeless? Coz it's now Adobe, it doesn't care about what customers want. I guarantee that the non square texture processing in Substance will never see the light. Its not the first time this was asked.

Hello,
Thanks for your message.

The non-square textures request came from several times in the last months and I can ensure you that the feature is a very high priority right now.
We listened to your needs, we just closed one major release and are preparing the next big one.

Thanks

Is there any update to this?  You're missing out on the fashion industry without being able to output rectangular textures as most plaids are rectangular.  I spent the weekend trying to figure out how to digitize my fabrics using alchemist and haven't been able to find the right answers.
