Hello @gabriel
@ChrisBrejon just sent me this interesting forum post. I’m a CG Lead (Lookdev & Lighter) and owner of my own independent studio and do work for Quixel as well. I’m myself using ACES for my CGI work with Megascans and I do have a few questions:
- Are you using full EXR Megascans assets? From the IDT you have mentioned, it seems that you are using JPG files. EXR files which are available for all Megascans users, will contain much more information and will allow you to tweak (for artistic or reference matching purposes) with more freedom and better end result.
- The export from Bridge should not affect the textures. It is true though, Bridge has an image processor built in but if you do not do any file format conversion, this image processor will not be used (and has some known issues that we, Quixel, will fix in the future).
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here or on the official Quixel forum that I moderate as I’m also a moderator and technical customer support agent.
Best
