Substance to Maya workflow

[pipe_mm]

Hello,
I wanted to ask if there is a better way to connect substance maps and set the sRGB / Linear values (vray tribute) for each map manually.

Thnx

In particular, I would be interested in how to automate the setting of the "Texture Input Gamma" (sRGB, Linear)

You can use this python script. Changes the color space of the selected file nodes to sRGB. Change "sRGB" in the code to "linear" to reverse it.

import pymel.core as pm

for obj in pm.selected(type='file'):
    obj.colorSpace.set('sRGB')

there are name based rules in the maya prefs for color settings. just name the tetuxures to your liking.

I would go with the maya color management rules too - they are easy to set up and very flexible.

Hello,

thnx for you advise, I am getting into the Color Management set-up workflow, and it works pretty well for me, besides the for node.
here are my settings.
I will also attach the scene file, maps and my Maya Color Management Settings (xml)

Diffuse & Reflection:
Gamma 2.2 Rec 709

Glossiness, Normal, (IOR):
RAW

How do I deal the IOR Node, for it uses the Alpha connection and the Color Space dropdown is greyed out.
Checking the "Alpha is Luminance" doesn't do the trick.
Or is this the only Node I still have to apply the Vray attribute.
This would be annoying.

Still this workflow is way to complicated to be userfriendly.
For me and our Studio it is ok to work with a preloaded Color Management Preference,
but how do you want to explain this to a newcomer?

I am teaching Vray at a college, and this is the most un-intuitive part of the whole rendering story.
Substance & Vray are industry standards, how come there is no user friendly connection for this basic workflow.
Perhaps because none of the three players (Maya, Substance, RenderEngine) feel obliged to come up with a solution.

Thnx
Martin

does anyone use this solution?

The render looks mostly fine in Maya. The only part I'm not sure about is the IOR map, as it's producing values way below 1. What are the values in substance? Also - can you post an image so we can see how it's supposed to look like in substance?
